What might happen to a bulb if you added too many extra batteries to the circuit?

If you added more batteries in parallel, then the bulb would shine for a long time. If you added more batteries in series, then the bulb would burn very brightly for a short time and then 'burn out'.


What might happen to the bulb if you added too many extra batteries to the circuit?

If you added the batteries in parallel, then the bulb would stay on for a long time and nobody would get any sleep. If you added the batteries in series, then the voltage across the bulb would eventually become excessive and the bulb would burn out.


What will happen to the circuit if the bulb if removed from its holder?

If the bulb is removed from its holder, the circuit will be open, breaking the flow of electricity. This will result in the current being unable to pass through the circuit and the bulb will not light up as a result.


Why does adding more batteries to a circuit cause an attached light bulb to become brighter?

Adding more batteries increases the voltage across the circuit, which results in a higher current flowing through the light bulb. The increased current generates more heat and light in the bulb, making it appear brighter.


What would happen to the current in a simple circuit if a bulb with a higher resistance were used?

If a bulb with higher resistance is used in a simple circuit, the total resistance in the circuit would increase. According to Ohm's Law (V=IR), with an increase in resistance, the current in the circuit would decrease since the voltage supplied remains constant.

Does anything happen to the brightness of the bulb when you add an extra battery to a simple circuit?

We did this experiment in class, the more batteries added, the brighter the bulb will become!

If you add more batteries to a simple circuit will make the bulb?

That will depend on whether they are added in series or parallel.

In a circuit with 1 bulb which is of an equal voltage than the combined voltage of 2 batteries will the bulb fuse when the circuit is closed?

no


Will adding more batteries to a simple circuit will make the bulb?

If you add another battery in series with the first one, then the bulb willglow brighter, and may burn out if you carry things too far.If you add another battery in parallel with the first one, then the brightnessof the bulb won't change, but the battery will last twice as long.


If you wired up the circuit with a bulb two batteries and a switch with a thin wire what will happen?

The circuit will likely overload the thin wire due to the higher current flowing from the batteries to the bulb. This can cause the wire to heat up and potentially melt or even start a fire. It's important to use wires that can handle the current in a circuit to prevent overheating and potential safety hazards.


What are the subsystems of a flashlight?

Bulb, circuit, batteries, switch, reflectors, and housing.


What might happen to the bulb if you added too much batteries to the circuit?

Too much power is likely to burn out the bulb's filament, or shorten the bulb's life. A resistor of suitable rating, placed within the circuit, would help reduce the voltage to a more suitable level


Will the circuit with two batteries a bulb and a motor work?

If you will connect it right, it will work.

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.
