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 type of circuit is one in which all loads are connected in a single loop-?

That is described as a circuit in series, as opposed to a circuit in parallel, in which there is more than one loop.


A circuit that has 2 objects connected in a single path is a what?

The circuit is a series circuit when two objects are connected in a single path. In a series circuit, the current flows through each object in succession.


When would you use a series and when would you use a parallel circuit?

* The most common applications for series circuits is in Christmas tree lights and putting a fuse in series with delicate electronic equipment. * Each component in a circuit causes a voltage drop. Therefore, the series circuit should only be used where the voltage drop does not interfere with the proper functioning of the components in the circuit. * On the other hand, where all of the compenents in a circuit require the same supply voltage, then a parelell circuit should be used.


What are some different types of electrical circuits?

Some different types of circuits are:openclosedparallelseriesThere are two types of basic circuits, series and parallel.In series, current stays constant and voltage is divided amongst the resistors.In parallel the voltage stays constant, Every branch of the circuit gets the same voltage from the power supplier, but there is different current in every branch but current doesn't get lost. Current entering a junction(branches) must equal to current out of the junction. Iin =Iout.The third type could be the Series-Parallel Combination, which has some components wired in series and other components in parallel. Solving these circuits requires more complex analysis techniques. See related link.Another AnswerElectrical circuits are generally classified as being: (1) series, (2) parallel, (3) series-parallel, and (4) complex. The term, 'complex' is a category into which any circuit that doesn't fall into the first three categories, is placed.


What happens if the switch is open in a parallel circuit?

If the switch in a parallel circuit is open, it breaks the circuit and interrupts the flow of current for that particular branch. The other branches in the parallel circuit remain unaffected and continue to operate independently.

Which type of circuit a series circuit or a parallel circuit would allow the light bulbs to burn brighter?

In a parallel circuit, each light bulb would receive the full voltage of the power source, allowing them to burn brighter compared to a series circuit where the voltage is divided among the bulbs.


If both series and parallel circuits have 1 cell and 3 lamps, which type of circuit would be brighter?

Parallel circuit.


What happens if there is a break in a series circuit?

The series circuit becomes an open circuit because there is no remaining path.


What happens to current in a series circuit?

the current in series will be same..


What happens in a series circuit if the resistance is halved?

If you add a second resistor, the resistance of series circuit will increase.


What type of circuit will produce brighter lights is it series circular direct or parallel?

Parallel connections will draw more current than equivalent lights connected in series, so the parallel configuration will be brighter.


What happens to the current in the series circuit?

current remains same in series while divide itself in parallel circuit


Is a parallel circuit brighter than a series circuit?

Both are same. Only thing it depends upon the incoming voltage. In series ciruity if one bulb fails, the ciruit continuity breaks . In case of paraleel circuit even if one bulb fails the circuit continuity will not get affected


How are series parallel circuits different?

A series is an electric circuit with a single path.A parallel circuit is an electric circuit with multiple paths.


How is a parallel curcuit different from a series curcuit?

a parallel circuit is in lines and a series circuit is one circle


What happens in a series circuit if a light blows?

The circuit current is interrupted and all the lights will go out.


How parallel and series circuit different?

In a series circuit, current has to pass through each part of the circuit. In a parallel circuit, the current has several alternative paths.
