Is 110w bulb is or not?

There are 60W, 75W, 100W, and 150W bulbs. No standard 110W.


Explain which circuit you would use to light a bulb as bright as possible...a series or parallel circuit?

Think of it this way: If you want a lot of water to flow into one place, would you divide the river? However, it's irrelevant in this case, because the light bulb can only take a certain amount of current and voltage before it burns out. You can have amazingly bright for a millisecond or fairly bright for a long time. Your choice.


What are everyday uses of series circuits?

Your battery-powered flashlight is a good example of a DC series circuit. Battery power is DC. The battery is connected to a wire or piece of metal that's connected to a switch that is connected to an incandescent light bulb (resistor/thermistor) which is then connected to another piece of metal or wire which is connected to usually a spring in the end of the flashlight which creates a ground to the negative terminal of the battery.


What occurs to voltage in a series and parallel circuit?

In a DC parallel circuit, equal voltage is applied to each device that is connected in parallel. For example, if three devices are connected in parallel to a 9 volt battery, each device will have 9 volts applied to it. In a DC series circuit, the sum of the voltage drops across each device connected in series equals the source voltage. So say you have three devices connected in series, and they are connected across a 9 volt battery. Each device will have less than 9 volts across it, but if you add the voltage drops across each device togther, it will equal 9 volts. Batteries in series have an additive effect to the voltage. A single AA battery has 1.5V. Two in series will have 3.0V. Batteries in parallel do not experience an additive effect to voltage. To answer this question briefly there is a big difference. The major difference is the resistance the circuit offers when the same components are wired in series or parallel. I do not know how much you want to know, but resistance of a component is measured in Ohms. An easy way to think of ohms is how much force or energy is required to move an object. The less ohms a circuit has the more it can do with the same amount of energy, which in some cases can be a bad thing. To move on, lets say you have two light bulbs, to give a cliche example, and both are 2 ohm load. Now if you wired these two light bulbs in series, connect positive of one bulb to negative of the other and then the others to a battery, the bulbs would be half as bright as one bulb to the same battery. Yet if you wired these in parallel there brightness would be the same as if one light bulb was connected to the circuit. This is because the voltage in the parallel circuit doesn't decrease when you add a light bulb, whereas on the series circuit it does decrease. Hope that helps


If you remove one of two bulbs connected to a circuit in a series will the other bulb still shine?

if you have 2 bulbs and one burns out, the other wont shine, if you remove 1 bulb, you are breaking the circuit, and the current cant flow to the second bulb, so no it wouldn't shine.

When two bulbes with 25W and 100W rated at 220V are connected in series with a supply of 440V which will fuse?

The 25w bulb, since it has the much higher resistance. The resistance can be derived from:P = V^2/RR = V^2/PFor the 100w bulb:R = 220^2/100 = 484 ohmsFor the 25w bulb:R = 220^2/25 = 1936 ohmsWhen connected in series, and then connected to 440V, the voltage across the 100w bulb would be:V = 440*484/(484+1936) = 88VThis is well within spec.The voltage across the 25w bulb would be:V = 440*1936/(484+1936) = 352vThis is way over spec, and would cause the bulb to fuse.Although this answer assumes that a light bulb is a linear resistor, they are not. The resistance of a light bulb changes significantly with voltage and filiament temperature. The 25w light bulb is still the one that fuses, but the non-linearity of the resistance needs to be understood.

How can you connect bulbs in series?

A Bulb can be connected in a series in such a way that the energy source which is applied want to flow equally across the bulbs connected in series. A Bulb has to knobes or holds in which we supply the power. Assume one knob as a positive voltage absorbing source and other has a negative voltage absorbing source. When we connected in such a way that we can apply the voltage continuously in which the bulb will blow easily. When two or more bulbs are connected in series like end of the knob of one bulb i.e., negative to the next positive of the next bulb in series and negative of second bulb to the positive of the third bulb. Then the voltage splits equally across the bulbs connected.

Are lamps in house connected to series or parallel?

They can be connected to either supply. A bulb in series that fails, will cause all the other bulbs to go out. A bulb in parallel that fails, will have no adverse effect on the other bulbs in that circuit


For bulbs connected in series the high watt bulb has high resistance?

No, the highest wattage bulb will have the lowest resistance.
