Adding salt to the water in a light bulb increases the conductivity of the water. This allows more current to flow through the water, resulting in more energy being converted to light and heat in the bulb. As a result, the bulb appears brighter when salt is added.

How would you compare the brightness of the bulbs as you increase the number of bulbs?

-- If the bulbs are in parallel, then the addition of a bulb has no effect on the brightness of those that were there before. -- If the bulbs are in series, then the addition of a bulb causes the brightness of those that were there before to decrease. (And I wasn't even there when you did the experiment !)


How are light bulbs efficiency increased?

The brightness of a standard bulb is directly proportional to the amount of voltage drop across the bulb itself. Thus, to increase the brightness :-Pass more current across the bulb by reducing the resistance of the circuitIncrease the voltage across the bulb, or the circuit. Change the supply.


The current is 0.4 A and the bulb in the circuit is bright. What will happen to the brightness of the bulb if you put another bulb in series in the circuit?

ANSWER: The brightness of both bulbs will decrease. If the bulbs are identical the current will decrease to 0.2 Amps. This is a simple series resistive circuit, the more bulbs you add in series both the amperage and bulb brightness will continue to go down.


If you add an extra bulb to your series circuit what will happen to the brightness of the bulbs?

The bulb is dim.Because,the voltage is drops in series connection so you add more bulbs in series the last bulb got low voltage that reason for the bulb is dim


Does anything happen to the brightness of the bulb when you add an extra battery to a simple circuit?

We did this experiment in class, the more batteries added, the brighter the bulb will become!


What happens to the brightness of the light bulbs in a parallel circuit if we add more light bulbs.?

In a parallel circuit, adding more light bulbs does not decrease the brightness of the existing bulbs. Each bulb operates independently and receives the full voltage of the power source, so their brightness remains consistent regardless of how many bulbs are added. However, the total current drawn from the power source will increase with each additional bulb.


What do you notice about the brightness of the bulbs in the parallel curcuits as you add more bulbs to it?

Nothing if the current capacity of the circuit is not exceeded. The extra bulb will draw more current and if the limit is not reached all bulbs will continue at their rated brightness. If the current capacity is overrdrawn either the circuit breakeer will break and stop all lights or if the capacity is not fused all lights will dim.


Does grilling vegetables increase the calorie count?

If you add tooo much salt yes


What is a recipe with a good amount of salt?

Salt codfish, salt pork, anchovies are just a few things you can add to many recipes to increase the level off salt intake. Of course you can also just add salt to any recipe to make it salty.


Why does boiling point increase when you add salt?

It doesn't. It's just an old wives tale


How does one increase the melting or boiling point of a substance?

Add impurities (salt and others) to the substance.
