Well, if current is flowing it usually lights up.

What type of circuit is it where removing one lamp leaves the other on?

It is a series circuit. In a series circuit, the components are connected in a single path so if one lamp is removed, the circuit is broken and the other lamp will not receive electricity.


What would happen to the voltage drop across each lamp if you kept adding lamps to a series circuit?

The voltage drop across each lamp would decrease as you add more lamps to a series circuit. This is because the total voltage in the circuit is divided evenly among the lamps, so each lamp receives less voltage as more are added.


What does a filament lamp do in a circuit?

A filament lamp produces light by converting electrical energy into heat and then light. It acts as a resistive load in the circuit, meaning it resists the flow of current and causes the filament to glow and produce light.


Why is there only one wire on a dynamo lamp wind mill?

The dynamo lamp windmill likely has only one wire because it operates on a simple circuit design where the rotation of the windmill generates electrical current that flows through the single wire to power the lamp. The lamp itself completes the circuit by connecting to the ground or another reference point.


Why does an electric bulb not become dim when another bulb of the same power in a parallel circuit is switched on?

In a parallel circuit, each bulb gets the full voltage supply independently. Therefore, adding another bulb does not affect the voltage across the original bulb, keeping its brightness unchanged. Both bulbs receive the same voltage as they would if they were the only bulb in the circuit.

When you turn on a lamp are you opening or closing a circuit?

When you turn on a lamp, you are closing the circuit. This allows electricity to flow from the power source, through the lamp, and back to the power source, enabling the lamp to light up.


What makes contact with the base of a lamp?

The "hot" conductor of the lamp circuit.


If AC is replaced by DC in a fluorescent lamp circuit will the circuit work?

No.


If I have a circuit with four lamps each lamp is individually connected across the circuit so that the same current is not flowing through each lamp What type of circuit is this?

Parallel Parallel


If an insulator with a lamp is connected in a electrical circuit The switch is turned-on What happens?

If an insulator with a lamp is connected in an electrical circuit and the switch is turned on, the lamp will not light up. Insulators do not allow the flow of electric current, so the circuit will not be completed, and no electricity will reach the lamp to cause it to light up.


What happens to the lamp when the capacitor is removed?

When the capacitor is removed from a circuit containing a lamp, the behavior of the lamp depends on the circuit configuration. In a basic circuit where the capacitor is used for filtering or smoothing, the lamp may flicker or turn off due to the loss of charge stabilization, leading to inconsistent voltage. If the capacitor is part of a timing or oscillation circuit, the lamp may stop functioning altogether. Overall, the removal of the capacitor typically disrupts the normal operation of the lamp.

How is LED different from lamp?

similarity between lamp and LED- lamp in simple current is used to show that current is flowing and LED performs the same task but in electronic circuit .difference between lamp and LED-lamp in simple current is used to show that current is flowing and LED performs the same task more efficiently but in electronic circuit . so LED works more efficiently in electronic circuit than lamp which performs task in simple circuit.


What would happen if a lamp was unscrewed from a parallel circuit?

There will be no change, because it is a parallel circuit.


What can an incandescent test lamp is used to check?

An incandescent lamp can be used to check continuity of a circuit.


What is function of the choke in lamp circuit?

The function of a choke in a lamp circuit is to produce high voltage. In tubelights, the high voltage is essential for ionisation of the gas which is present in tubelights.
