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 will happen to voltage in a parallel circuit?

In a parallel circuit the voltage across each component is the same.


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 will happen to a bulb if you add more batteries to a simple circuit?

Adding more batteries to a simple circuit will increase the voltage supplied to the bulb. This will cause the bulb to become brighter as it receives more electrical energy. However, if the voltage exceeds the bulb's maximum rating, it may burn out.


Why would a 120 volt show 94 volts?

A measurement of 94 volts could be due to voltage drop caused by resistance in the circuit or a poor connection. This can happen when the wiring or components are not properly sized for the load, leading to a decrease in voltage. It may also indicate a faulty voltage regulator or transformer.


What happen is the potential difference across is double?

If the potential difference across a circuit is doubled, the current flowing through the circuit will also double, assuming the resistance remains constant. This is because Ohm's Law states that current is directly proportional to voltage when resistance is held constant.

If the resistance in the circuit is increased what will happen to the current and voltage?

* resistance increases voltage. Adding more resistance to a circuit will alter the circuit pathway(s) and that change will force a change in voltage, current or both. Adding resistance will affect circuit voltage and current differently depending on whether that resistance is added in series or parallel. (In the question asked, it was not specified.) For a series circuit with one or more resistors, adding resistance in series will reduce total current and will reduce the voltage drop across each existing resistor. (Less current through a resistor means less voltage drop across it.) Total voltage in the circuit will remain the same. (The rule being that the total applied voltage is said to be dropped or felt across the circuit as a whole.) And the sum of the voltage drops in a series circuit is equal to the applied voltage, of course. If resistance is added in parallel to a circuit with one existing circuit resistor, total current in the circuit will increase, and the voltage across the added resistor will be the same as it for the one existing resistor and will be equal to the applied voltage. (The rule being that if only one resistor is in a circuit, hooking another resistor in parallel will have no effect on the voltage drop across or current flow through that single original resistor.) Hooking another resistor across one resistor in a series circuit that has two or more existing resistors will result in an increase in total current in the circuit, an increase in the voltage drop across the other resistors in the circuit, and a decrease in the voltage drop across the resistor across which the newly added resistor has been connected. The newly added resistor will, of course, have the same voltage drop as the resistor across which it is connected.


What happen if you apply triangular input to transformer?

there will be no neutral point in the circuit and high voltage will be across the transformer coils

What two things happen when the number of appliances connected to the multiple socket is increased?

The amperage of the circuit increases and the voltage drop across the appliances will tend to increase.


What will happen in a circuit if the voltage does not change but the resistance in the circuit increases?

If the resistance increases, while the voltage stays the same, current will decrease. Current = voltage divided by resistance


When happen to the voltage when ressistor added to a circuit?

Just as the name of the component implies, electrical current gets resisted and therefore it diminishes unless an equally, larger voltage difference in that section of the circuit is applied. V=IR Current is inversely proportional to Resistance (when one goes UP, the other goes DOWN) Voltage is directly proportional to Resistance


What happen to the voltage when the collector current increases in a biased circuit?

it dies


What will happen if a piece of string is being used to complete a close circuit?

The piece of string will act as an insulator. Insulators will not carry circuit current when a voltage source is applied across it. Therefore nothing will happen if a piece of string is used to complete an electrical circuit.


What will happen to the total current if you keep adding bulbs in parallel to the circuit?

Adding more lamps in parallel (across) a line will cause total current to climb. It will keep climbing (increasing) until a load protection device (circuit breaker or fuse) breaks the circuit or until something fails because of excessive current.

What is a maximum voltage across a resistor?

The voltage across the resistor is whatever voltage is applied. The only maximum here would be a voltage that would damage the resistor. If you think this might happen, you'll have to look up such a voltage from the data sheets.
