I'm not sure what you mean by turning a dimmer switch "up".
-- When the dimming action of the device is turned 'up', the bulb
becomes more dim, that is, less bright.
-- The dimmer may have an arrow printed on its control, labeled 'brighter'.
In that case, when you turn the control in the direction of the arrow,
the light becomes brighter, i.e. less dim.
In a parallel circuit, each bulb receives the full voltage of the power source, so all bulbs shine at their full brightness. In a series circuit, the brightness of each bulb decreases as more bulbs are added because the voltage is shared among all bulbs.
When your circuit is in SERIES, each individual bulb will receive one fraction of the voltage of the battery, allowing the full chain of bulbs to draw less current, but to be dimmer in the same respect. When your circuit is in PARALLEL, each bulb will receive the same voltage, however more current will be drawn, so it depends on your situation on which you should use.
Increasing the length of wire in a series circuit increases the overall resistance in the circuit, which reduces the current flowing through the circuit. This results in a decrease in the brightness of any connected bulbs or the speed of any connected motors, as the components receive less energy due to the increased resistance.
A variable resistor can be connected in series with a light bulb in a circuit. By adjusting the resistance of the variable resistor, the current flowing through the circuit changes, affecting the brightness of the light bulb. Increasing the resistance decreases the current, resulting in lower brightness, while decreasing the resistance increases the current, leading to higher brightness.
If the track of the current is broken in a series circuit, the circuit will be interrupted and no current will flow. The components in the circuit will not receive any power and will not function until the circuit is repaired.
it should become dimmer
Resistance is increased so the light will be dimmer.
Bulbs in a parallel circuit draw the same amount of current, so each will display the same brightness. Bulbs in a series circuit share the current so all bulbs will appear dimmer.
In a parallel circuit, each bulb receives the full voltage of the power source, so all bulbs shine at their full brightness. In a series circuit, the brightness of each bulb decreases as more bulbs are added because the voltage is shared among all bulbs.
No it's series circuit.
The lamps will get dimmer. In a parallel circuit, voltage is constant. Whereas, in a series circuit, amps are constant.
It depends what is the outcome of burning. If that light has created open circuit, circuit will break and there will not be any current. But if there is short circuit means overall resistance is decreased. Thus current will increase. Besides overall brightness will also increase. Thus, if in a series lesser the number of bulbs more will be brightness.
The higher the resistance the dimmer the light will become. The voltage drop (current) is proportional to the resistance as seen in the equation V=IR, since voltage remains the same throughout a series circuit if the equivalent resistance goes up the amount of current reaching the lightbulb must go down to equal the voltage thus creating a dimmer lightbulb.
Do nothing. But in a parallel circuit, all the bulbs will get dimmer.
ANSWER: The brightness of both bulbs will decrease. If the bulbs are identical the current will decrease to 0.2 Amps. This is a simple series resistive circuit, the more bulbs you add in series both the amperage and bulb brightness will continue to go down.
As a series circuit, as asked, all bulbs will go off because of that just one bulb.
The series circuit becomes an open circuit because there is no remaining path.
