Current drawn is load dependant. However load or watt is product of voltage and current. For a given load if the voltage is lower, it would draw a higher current and draw lower current if voltage were higher. Use the simple formula of power P = V * I (voltage V Current I)

Which glows more brighter a 100 w bulb or a 75 w bulb explain?

A 100W bulb will generally glow brighter than a 75W bulb because it consumes more power and emits more light. The higher wattage means that more energy is being converted into light, leading to a brighter glow.


You are using a bulb whose filament is broken will the bulb glow when connected to battery give reason?

No, the bulb will not glow when connected to a battery if the filament is broken. The filament is the part of the bulb that heats up and produces light when electricity passes through it. If the filament is broken, there is no path for the electricity to flow through and generate light.


What happens in a series circuit with three different watt bulb's which bulb will brighter?

The 2 bulb series circuit , a 3 bulb series circuit will increase resistance and therefore reduce the voltage across the bulb. The current in all points of the circuit will remain the same according to Kirchhoff.


What will happen if this 4.5 v bulb is connected to a 1.5 v cell?

The bulb need the correct voltage to operate. Your bulb would light if it is a 1.5 volt light. So the voltage of the supply and the light must be matched. Too little voltage won't light the light, too much will light it too much and blow it up.


What will cause magnesium to glow brighter?

Increasing the temperature of magnesium will cause it to glow brighter. Heating magnesium to a high temperature excites the electrons in the atoms, causing them to jump to higher energy levels. As the electrons return to their lower energy levels, they release energy in the form of light, resulting in a brighter glow.

Connected in series or parallel will each bulb glow brighter?

In parallel, each bulb will have full voltage applied across them. However, in series, the voltage across each bulb won't be the same as supply voltage. Thereby, bulbs connected in parallel will glow brighter.


Can a tomato glow when connected to a light bulb?

No, a tomato cannot glow when connected to a light bulb. Tomatoes do not have the ability to produce light on their own, so they cannot glow like a light bulb.


What did you do to make light bulbs glow brighter?

To make light bulbs glow brighter, you can increase the voltage supply to the bulb. This will cause more current to flow through the filament, resulting in a brighter glow. Be cautious not to exceed the recommended voltage rating of the bulb, as this can lead to overheating and damage.


A 40W bulb or a 60W bulb will glow more brighter if connected in series?

Oh, dude, let me break it down for you. If you connect a 40W bulb and a 60W bulb in series, the 60W bulb will glow brighter because it has a higher wattage rating. It's like having a race between a tortoise and a hare - the hare (60W bulb) is gonna shine brighter than the tortoise (40W bulb). So, yeah, the 60W bulb takes the spotlight in this series connection scenario.


Which bulb will glow at first when 3 bulbs are connected in series and switch is connected after 1 bulb?

The bulb that will glow first when 3 bulbs are connected in series and the switch is connected after 1 bulb is the second bulb in the series. The current flows through all the bulbs in a series circuit, but the second bulb experiences the full potential difference first as it is connected directly to the source.


What happens to the temperature of the filament as the bulb becomes brighter and brighter?

As the bulb becomes brighter, more current flows through the filament, increasing its temperature. This increase in temperature causes the filament to glow more intensely, resulting in a brighter light output.


Are bulbs brighter in a series or parallel curcuit?

Batteries in series makes the voltage additive. If the bulb is only rated at a specific voltage and you double the voltage the bulb will glow brighter but its life span will be shortened. Batteries in parallel will keep the voltage at the same level as a single battery but the endurance drain of the batteries will be doubled. Example, if a battery is drained of power, with a bulb being left on continuously, in one hour then two batteries in parallel would allow the bulb to glow for two hours before the batteries were drained of power.


Did the light bulb light up when the dry cells were connected in parallel?

If dry cells are connected in parallel, they will supply more current to the bulb, which will cause it to glow for a longer period of time, but at the same brightness as if only a single cell were used. When the cells are connected in series, the voltage is increased, which will cause the bulb to burn more brightly. If the voltage is increased past the safe point for the bulb, its life will be shortened and it may burn out rapidly. In series, the voltages add. In parallel, you essentially have a larger cell of the same type (cell as in battery of one).


Which bulb will glow brighter with 220V - 40W or 400W?

-- The voltage makes no difference. -- The 400W device dissipates ten times as much power as the 40W device does. We don't know how much of each one's power consumption is radiated in the form of heat, UV light, etc. But if the spectral distribution of their output is similar, then the one that dissipates more power produces more visible light, and appears brighter.


What components do you need to make a simple series circuit to light on bulb?

You need a Battery, Light Bulb, Ammeter, Switch.


Why are street lights connected in parallel?

street lights are connected in parallel mostly because if any lamp stops glowing but the other lamps continue their glow
