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.


What happens when removing a bulb in a parallel circuit?

The other light bulb still continues to shine if one light bulb is taken out of a parallel circuit. In a series circuit if one light bulb is removed the other light bulb goes black. This happens because the circuit is incomplete.


Does current in the lamps occur simultaneously or does charge flow first through one lamp then the other and finally the last in turn?

Currents are either flowing or they are not. However these lamps are hooked up, series or parallel, the minute current starts flowing through a circuit it is moving throughout the entire circuit.


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 lamp in a circuit do?

A lamp in a circuit converts electrical energy into light energy when current flows through it. This conversion is possible due to the properties of the lamp's filament or gas, which heats up and emits light when electricity passes through it.

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

Parallel Circuit


In the circuit if the fuse of lamp S went out which lamps would remain lit?

If the fuse of lamp S went out, the lamps that remain lit would depend on how the circuit is configured. In a series circuit, all lamps would go out since the circuit is broken. In a parallel circuit, only the lamp connected to the same fuse as lamp S would go out, while the other lamps connected to different fuses would remain lit.


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 happens to the other lamps in a series circuit if one of the lamps burns out?

In a series circuit, if one lamp burns out, it breaks the circuit, causing all the lamps to go out. This occurs because the current can no longer flow through the circuit due to the interruption. As a result, none of the other lamps will light up until the burnt-out lamp is replaced or the circuit is otherwise repaired.


In a circuit of two lamps in parallel if there is a voltage of 6 V across one lamp what is the voltage across the other lamp?

6 Volts.


What makes contact with the base of a lamp?

The "hot" conductor of the lamp circuit.


What is lamp circuit?

A lamp circuit is an electrical circuit designed to power a lamp, allowing it to produce light. It typically consists of a power source, such as a battery or mains electricity, connected to a light bulb through a switch and wiring. The circuit can be simple, with just a switch and a bulb, or more complex, incorporating dimmers or smart controls. When the circuit is closed by the switch, electricity flows to the lamp, illuminating it.


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

No.


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.


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


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.


What would happen to the other light bulb in the circuit if one light bulb burns out?

This depends on how the circuit is wired.If there is only a single pair of wires on the circuit, then the blowing of either bulb will break the circuit, and both bulbs will go out. OTOH, if a separate pair of wires is run to each bulb from/to the power source and ground, then one bulb can blow, and the other one will stay lit because it still has power. In that circumstance, however, there are really multiple circuits; one for each bulb.AnswerIf the lamps are connected in series then, if one lamp burns out, the other lamp will stop working. If the lamps are connected in parallel, then a burnt-out lamp will not affect the operation of the other lamp.
