If you add resistance to the circuit the bulb will shine with a fainter light ... the higher the resistance is the fainter it will shine

To make a light bulb fainter use more light bulbs in the circuit so the power is shared or use less power as then there wont be as much energy to light up the bulb.

you could add more electrical components (except batteries or cells ) so that each component will have a little less power from the battery as they need to share.

Add a resistor between the power source and one side of the bulb.

How would you make a bulb in a circuit shine fainter light suggest 2 ways to do this?

lower the voltage by using a different power source or by placeing a variable resistor in series with the light bulb.


Will adding light bulbs to a parallel circuit causes all of the light bukbs to shine less brightly?

No. In a parallel circuit, the resistance gets cut in half, so logically the bulbs would do the opposite and get brighter.


What are trhe advantages of parallel circuits?

One of the parallel circuit focal points is that it guarantees all parts of the circuit have the same voltage as the source. Case in point, the second or each extra light added to the circuit would have the same shine.


What would happen if you didn't have a light bulb for a circuit?

it would be ok in a circuit which didn't need a light bulb.


If you shine a light on a opossum's eyes will it get dazzled?

Yes it would dazzled but you would heart its eyes just don't shine things in there eyes.

The green light would be reflected, but the red light would be absorbed. ---Ryan Wang---


When a circuit of light bulbs is wired in such a way that if one light bulb burns out the rest stay lit it is called a circuit?

That would be a parallel circuit.


What is the Navajo name for shine?

To shine (a light) is: adiníłdíínTo shine ( a polished surface) : bits'ádi'ńlíídor bízdílid or dah dichiłto shine (polish it) : bízdílidgo 'áshłééhWarning navajo conjugates in very different ways than English so that "you two continually shine a light" would sound like a very different verb to an English speaker. The stem od to shine light is : łdíínBéésh łigai ayóo bits'ádi'nídíín --- "The light really refects off silver"

Would you be able to see luminous stars in a clear night sky?

Stars are nothing more than individual sun's just further away. If the star we call the sun was further away, it would appear as a star in the night sky.The stars shine all day and all night (same as our sun) but because the light from our sun is so strong (due to the relative closeness) the light of the further away stars are blocked during the day time. At night, when the sun's light is not visible, we will be able to make out the fainter light of the stars.You can experience the same at night by watching a faint light down the road. When a car with bright front lights approaches the fainter light will be more difficult (or impossible) to see until the car has passed by, and you will again be able to make out the fainter light against the dark surfaces.


What would happen if you stuck an insulator in the middle of a circuit?

the circuit would not be complete. the lightbulb would not light or the buzzer would not buzz


In what type of circuit would a burned out light bulb cause other light bulbs in the circuit to go out?

This is the case in a series circuit. (like the small Christmas lights.)
