save MORE energy than if connected in parallel?
Yes.
Series connections share the same amperage of electricity (in,thru & out each light).
Parallel connects each pull their own amperage.
If three 30watt, 120volt lights are connected in series, they will share the amperage available( 30/120=.25amp).
If three 30watt, 120volt lights in connected in parallel, they will each pull the .25amp, consuming .75amperage, or 90watts.
The PARALLEL circuit will burn much brighter than the SERIES circuit.
[Added: to expand on that last point: The overall light level, but not individual lamps' intensities, will be higher with the parallel system. The series system would dim all the lamps hence reduce the overall light level. So while reducing electricity consumption, the series configuration would make the room very gloomy - or atmospheric, to taste!]
What else can I help you with?
What will happen if the two switches connected to light up a single bulb are on?
It is dependant on whether the switches are in wired in a parallel or series configuration. If the switches are wires in parallel then both switches would have to be off to turn the light bulb off. Either switch could turn the light bulb on. If the switches are wired in series then both switches would have to be on to turn the light bulb on. Either switch could turn the light bulb off.
Why are parallel Christmas lights better than series?
In a series circuit, if any one bulb goes open the rest of the lights will go out. The current flow in a series circuit is common throughout the whole circuit. In a parallel circuit when one bulb goes open the rest remain on due to the configuration of a parallel circuit.
When the light bulb is lit electrical energy is changed into light energy and?
When lighting a light bulb, it is changed into light and heat/thermal energy.
What is the starting and finishing energy of a light bulb?
Zero,because the distance has no affect to convert electric energy into light energy.
A bulb in a lamp converts electric energy into?
A bulb in a lamp converts electric energy into light and heat energy.
How you can quickly determine whether a string of lights is wired in series or parallel?
Remove a light bulb. If they all go out, it is series, if the all stay on, it is parallel.
If a light bulb is missing in a series circuit will the bulb light?
If one light bulb in a series circuit fails, all the other light bulbs will go out, until the failed bulb is replaced and the series circuit is completed again.If one light bulb in a parallel circuit fails, all the other light bulbs will still work.
Why is most of the wiring in a typical home in parallel?
If the wiring was all in series, then a light bulb could go out, and then everything would go out, but if it is in parallel, the light bulb can go out, and the rest will stay lit.
How does removing a bulb or opening and closing the switch affect a parallel circuit?
it is because the energy flows through the switch and it makes the light bulb turn on and if the switch is open the energy will not flow it will stay in the place the switch begins
Which cicuits light the bulb better-Bulbs light better in which kind of circuits?
If you are comparing parallel vs series circuits, light bulbs produce more light in parallel circuits.
How is energy transferred from the cell to the bulb in parallel circuits and series circuits?
it is transferred by chemical energy stored in the circuit to electrical energy which lights the bulb creating light energy then heat energy chemical energy -> electrical energy -> light energy -> heat energy p.s. I'm twelve and learned this during may i guess I'm going to pass my physics and chemistry test
Would taking a light bulb from a parallel circuit affect the energy transfer?
Taking a light bulb from a parallel circuit would not significantly affect the energy transfer in the circuit. Each component in a parallel circuit receives the full voltage of the circuit, so removing a single light bulb would not substantially affect the flow of energy to the other components. The overall energy flow in the circuit would continue, with the remaining components receiving their appropriate voltage.
What can you do for a fifth grade science fair project?
light bulb circuits like parallel and series circuit
What will happen if the two switches connected to light up a single bulb are on?
It is dependant on whether the switches are in wired in a parallel or series configuration. If the switches are wires in parallel then both switches would have to be off to turn the light bulb off. Either switch could turn the light bulb on. If the switches are wired in series then both switches would have to be on to turn the light bulb on. Either switch could turn the light bulb off.
What is the Function of light bulb in an electric circuit?
The function of a light bulb in an electric circuit is that it turns electrical energy into light.
If one light bulb burns out but other light bulbs stay lit what type of arrangement is this?
That is a parallel circuit. Each bulb is wired directly to the power and not through each other. A Christmas tree light set is an example of a series circuit, and often up to 3 series circuits in parallel. Because the sets are wired in parallel, a missing bulb in one of the series sets only affects that one set, and thus 2/3 of the lights may still work.
Describe the energy transformations that take place when a battery is connected to a light bulb in a series circuit?
The battery connected to the bulb has the potential chemical energy in it when it is connected by means of wire to the bulb the chemical energy in the battery is converted to the electrical energy which flows through the wire to the bulb glows the bulb which is a form of light energy after some time the bulb starts emitting heat which is heat energy.
