Do nothing.

But in a parallel circuit, all the bulbs will get dimmer.

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.


In a series circuit when adding light bulbs does the current change?

Yes. The current is inversely proportional to the resistance. I = V / R where I is current, V is voltage, and R is resistance. Adding light bulbs adds resistance. Current is constant throughout a series circuit; it doesn't change no matter what. Voltage changes.


In a series circuit as more bulbs are added the bulbs get dimmer the electric current through each bulb?

By adding more light bulbs


What would happen to a series circuit if another bulb was added?

A: Adding any resistance bulbs or whatever in a series circuit will reduce current and will reduce total power. In this case the bulb will glow dimmer as any additional bulbs are placed in the series circuit. this is true if the same input source is kept constant.


What type of circuit is it called when light bulbs one after another are connected?

In series


Is the bulb brighter or dimmer if the same number of bulbs are added in a sertes circuit?

In a series circuit, adding more bulbs increases the total resistance, which causes the overall current to decrease. As a result, each bulb receives less voltage and therefore becomes dimmer. Thus, the bulbs will be dimmer when more bulbs are added in a series circuit.


In a parallel circuit with three bulbs?

All of the bulbs will become dimmer as more bulbs are added.


Circuit in which all parts are connected one after another?

That is a series circuit. An example is old christmas tree bulbs where if one burned out they all went dark.


What happens if one bulb in a series circuit burned out?

In a series circuit, all bulbs are necessary to complete the circuit. If one bulb goes out, the circuit is broken, so none of the bulbs would light up.


What is the type of circuit where two bulbs are next to each other?

Series circuit.


How is the current affected by the number of bulbs?

As the number of bulbs in a series circuit increases, the current decreases. As the number of bulbs in a parallel circuit increases, the current increases.


What is the effect on total resistance of adding this third bulb?

If a fourth bulb were added in a similar way to the three existing bulbs, the resistance in the circuit would go up if the bulbs were series connected, and it would go down if the bulbs were parallel connected.
