In which case will there be more current in each of three lamps- if they are connected to the same battery in series or in parallel?

more current will be in case of parallel because in series combination resistence is greater with respect to parallel combination

Should a Voltmeter always be connected in a series with a component?
Voltmeter should be connected always in parallel to a circuit ANSWER : IT should be in parallel except when used to measure current. Then it should be placed in series across a shunt.
Are the lights in your school connected in series current or parallel current?
Overhead lights are typically connected in parallel. If they were connected in series, then, if one light went out, all of the lights would go out. Think of Christmas lights, they are connected in series. When one of the lights burns out, the whole string of lights goes out.
What happens when you connect two batteries of different voltages together?
If by capacities you mean voltages then they will add in series and have the voltage of the lower one in parallel. Putting them in parallel will generate alot of heat because the wire acts as resistor to allow the current to drop from the first battery to the second.
What is the Difference between series and parallel inverter?
One difference between a series and a parallel inverter is that series inverters are connected one after another. Whereas, parallel converters are only connected individually. Another difference between the two is that series inverters are used in small sub servers, whereas, parallel inverters are used in main servers.
Difference in parallel and series circuits?
If two or more circuit components are connected end to end like a daisy chain, it is said they are connected in series. A series circuit is a single path for electric current through all of its components. Bulbs will get dimmer the further along the chain. If two or more circuit components are connected like the rungs of a ladder it is said they are connected in parallel. A parallel circuit is a different path for current through each of its components. A parallel circuit provides the same voltage across all its components and hence the same brightness of bulb.The voltage is the same in a parallel circuit while the voltage is shared in a series circuit.
Why is the current source connected in series only?
Current sources should not be connected in series. It's okay to connect them in parallel.
A 9.0 volt battery is connected to a 4.0-ohm and 5.0-ohm resistor What is the current in the circuit?
If a 9.0 volt battery is connected to a 4.0-ohm and 5.0-ohm resistor connected in series, the current in the circuit is 1.0 amperes. If a 9.0 volt battery is connected to a 4.0-ohm and 5.0-ohm resistor connected in parallel, the current in the circuit is 0.5 amperes.
If Four 12 voltsbatteries connected in parallel and one 12 volt battery in series how much voltage is active across circuit?
A == B (- 12V +) (- 12V +) (- 12V +) A single 12V battery in series with 4x 12V batteries connected in parallel... Total voltage from A to B is 24 volts! Note that the single battery in series will limit the total current capacity to that of a single battery.
Does a battery last longer in a series or parallel circuit?
A battery doesn't see a series or parallel circuit. It just supplies the current that is demanded by the load be it a series or parallel load. Visualize that a single load across a battery is both a series and parallel load to the battery.
Is a ammeter connected in series or in parallel with the circuit under test?
An ammeter is connected in series. A voltmeter is connected in parallel. ammeter should always be connected in series instead of parallel becoz it is a low resistance device and we know that resistance is inversly proportional to current so more current will pass through it and if it is connected in parallel than it may get damaged
Can you connect batteries in series and parallel?
Yes, series and parallel connection of batteries is possible. When connected in series Voltage increases. In parallel, Current increases but voltage is constant.
Are the car battery cells connected in a parallel or in a series?
Sereies, with each cell about 2.2volts
How do you explain the effect of the number of batteries on the amount of current produced?
The number of batteries has only an effect on the amount of current when they are equivalent and connected in parallel. The amount of current that can flow from a group of batteries connected in series is limited to the current provided by the battery that produces the lowest current flow in the string.
What are two instances in which you would wire something in series and something in parallel?
a battery's, series has more voltage and parallel has more current
Three identical bulbs are connected in series labeled A B and C to a battery which bulb is the brightest?
If three identical bulbs are connected in parallel to a battery, all three bulbs would have equal brightness.Kirchoff's voltage law states that the signed sum of the voltage drops around a series circuit is zero. A consequence of this is that, in a parallel circuit, the voltage across each parallel element is the same.There are effectively 6 series circuits in this example - battery and A - battery and B - battery and C - A and B - A and C - and B and C. These six combinations are also parallel circuits, and they are also in parallel with each other.
How do you connect volt meter in battery charger?
To measure voltage be in parallel with the battery. Series would measure current. Parallel measures potential.
When a volumetr is connected in series with a battery what does it measure the ability to?
Measures the amperage of the current .Your battery is in series with your car amp meter .
