In parallel, each bulb will have full voltage applied across them. However, in series, the voltage across each bulb won't be the same as supply voltage. Thereby, bulbs connected in parallel will glow brighter.

Two lamps A and B are rated 60W 220V and 100W 220V respectively so why does the answer say that when connected in parallal bulb A is brighter?

In parallel, they both obviously have 220 v across them, so the 100 W bulb is obviously brighter than the 60 W one. The 60 W bulb has more resistance, and in series they both have to pass the same current, so the 60 W has more voltage across it and might be brighter.


A 40W bulb or a 60W bulb will glow more brighter if connected in series?

Oh, dude, let me break it down for you. If you connect a 40W bulb and a 60W bulb in series, the 60W bulb will glow brighter because it has a higher wattage rating. It's like having a race between a tortoise and a hare - the hare (60W bulb) is gonna shine brighter than the tortoise (40W bulb). So, yeah, the 60W bulb takes the spotlight in this series connection scenario.


Are bulbs brighter in a series or parallel curcuit?

Batteries in series makes the voltage additive. If the bulb is only rated at a specific voltage and you double the voltage the bulb will glow brighter but its life span will be shortened. Batteries in parallel will keep the voltage at the same level as a single battery but the endurance drain of the batteries will be doubled. Example, if a battery is drained of power, with a bulb being left on continuously, in one hour then two batteries in parallel would allow the bulb to glow for two hours before the batteries were drained of power.


Is a parallel circuit brighter than a series circuit?

Both are same. Only thing it depends upon the incoming voltage. In series ciruity if one bulb fails, the ciruit continuity breaks . In case of paraleel circuit even if one bulb fails the circuit continuity will not get affected


How are series circuits and parallel circuits?

A parallel circuit is used in a strand of Christmas lights so that if one bulb goes out, the rest don't. A parallel circuit is also used in circuit breakers of houses. A series circuit is used in a flashlight. Everything follows one path.

Does the number of batteries change the brightness of the bulb?

It will if the batteries are connected in series. If they are connected in parallel, the lamp will burn longer, but not brighter.


How you can quickly determine whether a string of lights is wired in series or parallel?

Remove a light bulb. If they all go out, it is series, if the all stay on, it is parallel.


If you have two 5 watt bulbs connected in series and then in parallel which circuit arrangement will give you brighter bulbs explain your answer?

Brighter in parallel. In series the voltage is divided between the two bulbs, thus the current will only be half so that the power of each bulb will only be one quarter (of 5 watts) in the series set-up.


Are lamps in house connected to series or parallel?

They can be connected to either supply. A bulb in series that fails, will cause all the other bulbs to go out. A bulb in parallel that fails, will have no adverse effect on the other bulbs in that circuit


Is it true that when a round bulb and a long are connected in a parallel circuit the long bulb is brighter than the round bulb?

In a parallel circuit, the brightness of the bulbs connected depends on their resistance and current flow, not their physical shape or size. The bulbs will have the same voltage across them, so if the long bulb has a lower resistance, it could be brighter but this depends on the specific characteristics of the bulbs.


What is a parallel bulb?

a parallel bulb is one that is connected in parallel with respect to the source voltage


Light bulb in parallel circuit brightness?

In a parallel circuit, each light bulb receives the full voltage of the power source, so the brightness of each light bulb remains constant even if more bulbs are added to the circuit. This is because each bulb has its own separate path for current to flow, without affecting the others.

How are bulb connected in the house?

In parallel


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.


Which arrangement should be brighter when hitched to a single bulb 2 batteries in a series or 1 battery?

Two batteries in series will cause the bulb to burn brighter.
