A 100W 250 V 200W 250V is connected in series across a 500V AC which bulb will fuse first?

both will be fused.


Fuse should be connected to a circuit by parallel?

Fuse is a circuit element which disconnects the electrical current from the mains"supply" feeding the load when a condition of fault "short circuit " occurs. one behaviour of electric current that it flows undivided in circuit elements connected in series and is divided when flows in circuit elements connected in parallel. so in order to protect a circuit fuse MUST be connected in series to cut/disconnect the faulty current in a safe/short time. if u connect a fuse in parallel to a component then u will be shorting that component and the component will not function ;because the fuse is a thin wire with a negligible resistance and electrical current flows in the most easy "less resistive" component. besides a short circuit will happen immediatly because u connectthe supply to the neutral! hope that helps.


What would happen if two secondary winding were connected in parallel with the wrong polarity?

Quite simply, they supply electricity in addition to each other and each lead will be connected to the opposite polarity lead of the other winding... you have a short circuit. The transformer will rapidly get hot and if it has no thermal fuse, might start a fire or cause other damage.


What happens when an ammeter is connected wrong?

Ammeters have a low impedance, so if they are incorrectly connected in parallel to your load instead of in series, more current will flow through the circuit and the ammeter will almost act like a short. There is potential to burn our the ammeter.


In science to prevent overloading in a parallel circuit you could install a what?

you can use a fuse or circuit breaker

When two bulbes with 25W and 100W rated at 220V are connected in series with a supply of 440V which will fuse?

The 25w bulb, since it has the much higher resistance. The resistance can be derived from:P = V^2/RR = V^2/PFor the 100w bulb:R = 220^2/100 = 484 ohmsFor the 25w bulb:R = 220^2/25 = 1936 ohmsWhen connected in series, and then connected to 440V, the voltage across the 100w bulb would be:V = 440*484/(484+1936) = 88VThis is well within spec.The voltage across the 25w bulb would be:V = 440*1936/(484+1936) = 352vThis is way over spec, and would cause the bulb to fuse.Although this answer assumes that a light bulb is a linear resistor, they are not. The resistance of a light bulb changes significantly with voltage and filiament temperature. The 25w light bulb is still the one that fuses, but the non-linearity of the resistance needs to be understood.


Will a fuse work successfully if it is connected in parallel with the device it's supposed to protect?

No, a fuse will not work successfully if it is connected in parallel with the device it is supposed to protect. Fuses are designed to be connected in series with the device, allowing them to interrupt the current flow when an overcurrent condition occurs. If connected in parallel, the fuse would not experience the same current as the device, and it would not protect it effectively from overcurrent situations.


Is there a fuse that will make the right taillight work?

no. both the taillights are connected to the same fuse. generally. change the bulb...


Where does a fuse has more chances of tripping when connected with a series connection or parallel connection?

series connection


Predict whether a fuse will work successfully if it is connected in parallel with the device it is supposed to protect?

A fuse will not work successfully if it is connected in parallel with the device it is supposed to protect.First, it will blow because it has no resistance in series with it. Second, once it blows, the device still has power applied to it. Fuses must be wired in series.


Will a fuse work successfully connected in parallel?

Absolutely not. A fuse works by "monitoring" the current flowing in the circuit. Setting the fuse next to whatever it should be monitoring will do absolutely no good.


What is a fuse bulb?

a fuse bulb is a bulb in which the filament of the bulb burns and it stops working


What happens to bulb when 13 A fuse is connected to 3 A bulb?

What happens? The bulb lights up when power is applied. Fuses protect the wiring and sockets from excessive current flow. If the wires and socket can handle 13 amps without overheating, then all's good. So, replacing the bulb with a smaller wattage is ok; replacing the fuse with a larger capacity fuse is bad.


Why will your licence plate light on your 2002 Honda Accord SE not work after changing the bulb and fuses?

Verify that wires to bulb socket are connected and not damaged. Verify that socket is not corroded. Verify that fuse and bulb really are good. Drew
