The voltage for 4 bulbs in a circuit?

The circuit voltage or the resistance of the individual bulb is needed to answer this question. Divide the total power (400 W) by the supply voltage.


How to Find the burn out light bulb on parallel series?

A burned out light bulb has high resistance - it is open - so, in a series circuit, it will have full supply voltage across it while the other bulbs in the circuit have zero volts. In a parallel circuit, just look and see which bulb is not lit.If you are talking about Christmas tree lights, however, they are generally designed to short out when they burn out, so that bulb goes dark while the others stay lit, even in a series circuit. The down side of that design is that the remaining bulbs will get brighter and hotter, and they will tend to burn out faster.


What will happen to the resistance and the brightness if you add a light bulb to the circuit?

If a rheostat is connected in parallel with a light bulb, the setting of the rheostat should have no effect on the performance of the light bulb, as long as the power supply is able to maintain its output voltage and deliver the current demanded by their parallel combination.


When you add another light bulb to a circuit does it effect the voltage?

When a bulb is added in parallel to a circuit with a single bulb, the resistance of the circuit decreases. This is because the existing bulb's operating point remains the same, due to the fact that Kirchoff's voltage law states that the signed voltages around a series circuit must add up to zero, with the two bulbs being their own series circuit. A consequence of this is that the voltage across both bulbs must be the same, i.e. that the voltage across the first bulb does not change. The second result of adding the bulb is that the current in the overall circuit increases. This is because the second bulb must pull some current in order to operate, yet we know that the voltage across the first bulb did not change. As a result, due to Ohm's law, the current through the first bulb did not change. And, finally, since Kirchoff's current law states that the signed sum of the currents entering a node is zero, the addition of a second load in parallel with the first load must, therefore, represent additional current.


What is one thing that you could do to the wire used in a circuit to decrease the amount of resistance bulb by the wire?

Use thicker wire. Doubling the diameter gives one quarter the resistance.

If Greater resistance is put into a circuit the brighter the bulb?

If you change a bulb in a circuit and the current decreases what is different about the new bulb?

The resistance of the new bulb is likely higher than the previous bulb. Increasing resistance in a series circuit decreases current flow. When resistance increases, less current can flow through the circuit, resulting in a decrease in current.


What would happen to the current in a simple circuit if a bulb with a higher resistance were used?

If a bulb with higher resistance is used in a simple circuit, the total resistance in the circuit would increase. According to Ohm's Law (V=IR), with an increase in resistance, the current in the circuit would decrease since the voltage supplied remains constant.

Why does the resistance in a series circuit which includes a light bulb increase when the bulb lights up?

When the current increases as a voltage is applied to the bulb it causes the bulb's special wire filament to get so hot that it glows very brightly. The heating causes changes in the normal electron lattice of the filament, creating more barriers to the flow of the electrons and therefore the resistance of the wire increases as it gets hotter.


What happens when one bulb is added to a series circuit?

The resistance is increased, the voltage across each bulb is decreased and the current through the circuit is reduced.


How does added resistance affect the brightness of the bulb?

Added resistance in a circuit will decrease the current flowing through the circuit, resulting in a decrease in the brightness of the bulb. This is because the bulb's brightness is directly proportional to the current passing through it. More resistance means less current, which leads to reduced brightness.


Why is there less current in a circuit with four bulbs than there is in a circuit with one bulb?

yes because of bulb resistance :)


Is this your experiment with physics?

· to show the effect on a bulb if a resistance is connected in series with it in the circuit.


How much energy each of the bulb will get in the two circuits?

The total energy delivered to each bulb in a circuit depends on the voltage of the circuit and the resistance of the bulb. In a series circuit, the total voltage is divided among all bulbs, so each bulb receives less energy compared to a parallel circuit where each bulb gets the full voltage of the circuit.


Which circuit was the light bulb the dimmest?

The light bulb was likely the dimmest in the circuit where it had the highest resistance, creating more opposition to the flow of current, resulting in less brightness.
