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.

If both series and parallel circuits have 1 cell and 3 lamps, which type of circuit would be brighter?

Parallel circuit.


What type of circuit will produce brighter lights is it series circular direct or parallel?

Parallel connections will draw more current than equivalent lights connected in series, so the parallel configuration will be brighter.


Which type of circuit a series circuit or a parallel circuit would allow the light bulbs to burn brighter?

In a parallel circuit, each light bulb would receive the full voltage of the power source, allowing them to burn brighter compared to a series circuit where the voltage is divided among the bulbs.

Types of electrical circuit?

Series and parallelImproved AnswerThere are four categories of circuit: series, parallel, series-parallel, and complex. 'Complex' is a 'catch-all', used to describe circuits that are not series, parallel, or series-parallel. An example of a 'complex' circuit is a Wheatstone Bridge circuit.


Is the electric circuit in your home a series circuit or a parallel circuit?

Parallel.


Are fluorescent lights on a parallel circuit or a series circuit?

Is series parallel the same as parallel?

No, series parallel, as it implies has components of the circuit configured in both series and parallel. This is typically done to achieve a desired resistance in the circuit. A parallel circuit is a circuit that only has the components hooked in parallel, which would result in a lower total resistance in the circuit than if the components were hooked up in a series parallel configuration.


Would a bedroom be wired using a series circuit or a parallel circuit?

Is there a similarity in a series circuit and a parallel circuit?

yes. a parallel circuit is made up of many series curcuits. so therefore, without the series curcuit you could not have a parallel curcuit.
