If you connect bulbs in parallel across a given voltage supply (eg household mains supply) then they will all draw their rated current and will glow at their rated brightness. If you connect the same bulbs in series then they will glow very much less brightly. This is because the resistance of a bulb's element is also related to the power dissipated in the element.
A bulb's element is rated for operation at a particular voltage. You can certainly connect two 6v motorcycle bulbs in series, and connect them to a car battery at 12v, and the two bulbs will be just as bright as they were when individually operated from the motorcycle 6v batttery. However if you connect two 6v bulbs in parallel and then wire them to a 12v car battery they will only glow brighter for a fraction of a second and then ... pop. You will have overheated the elements beyond their designed power handling capability.
What else can I help you with?
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
What would be different if only one light bulb were wired in this circuit instead of two?
I you wired a light bulb in to the same circuit you have the possibility of over loading the circuit but other than that it would just be brighter.
Do you need an open circuit or closed circuit for a garage door open light?
In order to illuminate the light, you need a closed circuit. It would be normally open, and closed to indicate that the door is open.
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 happens when a circuit is not complete?
a complete circuit is a circuit through which a current can flow(see closed circuit)A complete circuit is almost like a circle. Energy flows through this circle in order to make the light bulb light.A circuit that has a power source, a load such as a light or motor to power and a ground point.A complete circut is a circut with no gaps.
In which circuit will the light bulb be the brightest?
the circuit which has the maximum power output
What color would make the brightest room?
Light Green,Light Blue,etc.(everything Light Colored
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 is the brightest and dimmest sources of light?
Sun is brightest and fire flies are dimmest source of light
When a circuit of light bulbs is wired in such a way that if one light bulb burns out the rest stay lit it is called a circuit?
That would be a parallel circuit.
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
If a box is painted white and it is the brightest how is it the brightest?
Light absorbs the white and makes it brighter.
Which light makes you brightest?
sunlight
What does it mean when someone says you are the brightest light in my life?
that guy watches bollywood movies too much....
What is the brightest bicycle light available on the market?
The brightest bicycle light available on the market is the NiteRider Pro 3600 Enduro Remote.
Is circuit part of a light bulb?
Yes, a circuit is a part of a light bulb. It is designed to provide the necessary electrical connection for the bulb to receive power and emit light. Without the circuit, a light bulb would not be able to function properly.
In what type of circuit would a burned out light bulb cause other light bulbs in the circuit to go out?
This is the case in a series circuit. (like the small Christmas lights.)
