Ohm's Law says
Voltage = Current x Resistance
With constant voltage, an increase in resistance decreases the current. Now the load can be added in two basic ways. If the load is added in series the resistance will increase. If you add load in parallel the resistance will decrease and the current will increase from the source.
What else can I help you with?
What would happen if you added one battery to a parallel circuit of two light bulbs?
Adding one more battery to a parallel circuit of two light bulbs would increase the voltage across the entire circuit. This would cause both light bulbs to shine more brightly as they receive more power. It will not affect the current flowing through the circuit but will boost the overall energy provided to the circuit.
Which type of circuit a series circuit or a parallel circuit would allow the light bulbs to burn brighter?
In a parallel circuit, each light bulb would receive the full voltage of the power source, allowing them to burn brighter compared to a series circuit where the voltage is divided among the bulbs.
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.
Would taking a light bulb from a parallel circuit affect the energy transfer?
Taking a light bulb from a parallel circuit would not significantly affect the energy transfer in the circuit. Each component in a parallel circuit receives the full voltage of the circuit, so removing a single light bulb would not substantially affect the flow of energy to the other components. The overall energy flow in the circuit would continue, with the remaining components receiving their appropriate voltage.
What happens to current in a parallel circuit?
in a parallel circuit, current get divided among the parallel branches in a manner so that the product of current and the resistance of each branch becomes same. The sum of the current in each branch is equal to the total current of the circuit.
Would a bedroom be wired using a series circuit or a parallel circuit?
A parallel circuit
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.
Can each branch in a parallel circuit may hold several resistors?
Yes, but then it would be a 'series-parallel' circuit, not a 'parallel' 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 is the effect on total resistance of adding this third bulb?
If a fourth bulb were added in a similar way to the three existing bulbs, the resistance in the circuit would go up if the bulbs were series connected, and it would go down if the bulbs were parallel connected.
What type of circuit would be used in lighting circuit?
A lighting circuit would be a parallel circuit.
A circuit with 4 parallel parts but only one serial part would be called a what kind of circuit?
parallel circuit
What would happen if you added one battery to a parallel circuit of two light bulbs?
Adding one more battery to a parallel circuit of two light bulbs would increase the voltage across the entire circuit. This would cause both light bulbs to shine more brightly as they receive more power. It will not affect the current flowing through the circuit but will boost the overall energy provided to the circuit.
What circuit would you use if you were building a house?
A parallel circuit
Is series parallel the same as parallel?
No, series parallel, as it implies has components of the circuit configured in both series and parallel. This is typically done to achieve a desired resistance in the circuit. A parallel circuit is a circuit that only has the components hooked in parallel, which would result in a lower total resistance in the circuit than if the components were hooked up in a series parallel configuration.
A circuit with 4 parallel parts but only one serial part would be called what?
A series/parallel circuit.
What would be the purpose of connecting a parallel-tuned circuit into an antenna circuit?
The parallel-tuned filter in antenna circuit rejects only the undesired frequencies.
