the brightness of the bulbs would decrease because the cell would have to supply more power.

What would happen if you stuck an insulator in the middle of a circuit?

the circuit would not be complete. the lightbulb would not light or the buzzer would not buzz


In a combination of a parallel and series circuit what would happen if a light bulb was unscrewed?

In a parallel circuit nothing would happen. All the other light bulbs would remain on since there is an alternative path for current to flow. In a series circuit the entire circuit would be de-energized and all the bulbs would go out.


What would happen if your household circuit was set up in series circuit?

First, you will need very high voltage to run them altogether. Second, short circuit will be extremely hazardous in your house due to high voltage. Thirdly, you can't switch off the light without off the heater or air conditioning.


A series circuit contains four light bulbs. The switch is opened and one of the bulbs is removed but not replaced. Then the switch is closed again. What would you expect to see?

In a series circuit, all components are connected in a single path, so if one bulb is removed, the circuit is broken. When the switch is closed after removing the bulb, the circuit remains open, and none of the light bulbs will light up. Thus, all the bulbs will remain off until the removed bulb is replaced or the circuit is otherwise completed.


When several light bulbs are connected in a series circuit what will happen if on bulb burns out?

Hmm. well, it's a series circuit, so I would think they would potentially follow after the one that went out, right?? Yeah, for sure!

What would happen if a lamp was unscrewed from a parallel circuit?

There will be no change, because it is a parallel circuit.


What would happen if you didn't have a light bulb for a circuit?

it would be ok in a circuit which didn't need a light bulb.

What would happen to the light bulb if you cut the wire?

If you cut the wire connected to a light bulb, the electrical circuit would be broken, causing the flow of electricity to stop. As a result, the light bulb would turn off and no longer emit light. Additionally, if the wire was part of a larger circuit, cutting it could affect other components connected to that circuit as well.


What would happen to the bulbs if three more were added to this series circuit?

Nothing would "happen" to them, but they would glow less brightly.


What will happen if a thick copper wire is used in fuse?

If a thick copper wire is used in a fuse then by definition of a fuse this device would no longer be defined as a fuse. A fuse in a circuit is used to protect the conductors feeding the load of that circuit. The circuit, if using a thick copper wire in a fuse, would then be considered as a non fused circuit.


Why would a circuit not work when a wire is replaced with cotton string?

Cotton string does not conduct electricity, so replacing a wire with cotton string will break the electrical connection in the circuit. This will prevent the flow of electricity necessary for the circuit to work properly. It's important to use materials that conduct electricity, like wire, to maintain the circuit's functionality.


What would happen to circuit if there was no resistance?

a circuit with no resistance or zero resistance can be considered as open circuit in which the current is zero. without resistance the circuit just becomes open ()


What could happen if a blown fuse were replaced with one that blew at a much higher current than the original?

The circuit or device that the fuse was meant to protect would not be protected if a fuse with a higher rating were to be used. This could result in the circuit or device being destroyed by a higher than normal current flow in a short circuit fault condition.
