By connecting components in series, you are increasing the equivalent resistance (known as thevenin resistance) of the circuit. Power is equivalent to Voltage^2 / Resistance. Therefore, by increase the resistance, you are decreasing the amount of power provided by the source.

How would the bulbs shine in a series circiut?

An electric light bulb, incandescant type, is designed to operate at a certain voltage. Let's take 12 volt car headlights for example. Two 12 volt lights are connected in parallel in a car to provide the headlights, the same 2 lights could be connected in series if used on a truck with a 24 volt battery, or 20 of the lights could be connected in series if connected to a 240volt home electric circuit. (In the US think of 10 connected in series on your 110 volt system.) The lights would each produce about the same light output, but the number of lights would cause more light in total. In series there is a problem, when one light failsm they all go out. That's why lights in a house are connected in parallel.


Does the bulb light up in a parallel circuit?

The bulb will shine as long as it is still part of a complete circuit. You probably have a diagram for such a circuit. See if you can still trace a path through the battery and one of the bulbs without passing through the other bulb. For comparison, try the same thing with a diagram of a series circuit.


Will the lightbulb be brighter in series circuit or brighter in a parallel circuit?

This question is the wrong way round. Assuming you the light bulbs are identical, they are brighter when connected to the power source in parallel than in series. This is because each bulb uses the entire potential difference of the power source, whereas in series, the bulbs act as potential dividers, reducing the voltage across the others and therefore the current passing through all of them.


What makes a light shine bright in circuit just a simple explanation please?

If it is brighter than it should be there is too much current and it will burn out early. This is usually caused by internal problems in the lightbulb, but could rarely be caused by excessive voltage in the circuit powering the lightbulb.


How does the brightness of the bulbs in the two circuits compare?

ANSWERwhen two bulb are connected in series their will not be any changeANSWERWhat other bulbs? This question doesn't make sense.Perhaps you are thinking of this: with two bulbs in series, each bulb only gets 1/2 of the energy (or voltage) that a battery makes available, so each bulb is much dimmer than just one bulb attached to the battery would be.

What are trhe advantages of parallel circuits?

One of the parallel circuit focal points is that it guarantees all parts of the circuit have the same voltage as the source. Case in point, the second or each extra light added to the circuit would have the same shine.
