Bulbs in a parallel circuit draw the same amount of current, so each will display the same brightness. Bulbs in a series circuit share the current so all bulbs will appear dimmer.

Why is a bulb brighter when it is powered by 2 batteries rather than 1?
it has more energy than one bulb
How many 100 watt bulbs can a 110 volt circuit handle?
To answer this question, you need to know how many amps the circuit that is connected to the light bulb can handle. For home applications with a 15 amp circuit and no other loads connected you get: Power = Current * voltage, Substituting the known information yields: power = 15 amps * 110 volts, which is 1650 watts of total capacity. You have 100 watt bulbs, so: 1650/100 = 16.5 bulbs If your circuit is other than 15 amps, or if there is additional loads on the circuit, you must adjust the current or total capacity accordingly
Why galvanometer show one side deflection in meter bridge experiment?
there may be two possible errors 1) it may be bcz of the change in the polarities while connecting the circuit 2) the connection may not be tight
What is the name of a single chip containing many electrical components that can replace the whole systems of separate components?
Integrated circuit
What energy type do you use to create a circuit to operate a speaker?
Crating the Circuit alone would be electric energy and when the speaker is operating it would turn into sound energy.
What happens to a bulb when you move it closer to a battery on a circuit?
The bulb will get brighter
If Greater resistance is put into a circuit the brighter the bulb?
no
How can you make a bulb in a circuit brighter?
you can make it brighter by adding another battery/cell
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.
If you add an extra battery to a circuit containing a bulb how will this affect the bulb?
The bulb becomes brighter unless it is too much till it shot-circuits.
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.
Does a bulb get brighter the shorter the wire?
The Shorter the wire the brighter the bulb ! Because if it is short then it get brighter and the more batterie the brighter the bulb ! Or the lower voltage the brighter the bulb !
What would be different if only one light bulb were wired in this circuit instead of two?
I you wired a light bulb in to the same circuit you have the possibility of over loading the circuit but other than that it would just be brighter.
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.
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!
What will happen after you make an Electric Circuit?
If you connect the circuit properly the bulb should light up. That means attaching the left side of the battery to the right side of the bulb using a wire and attaching the right side of the battery to the left side of the bulb. If you do that the your bulb should turn on. If it doesn't then try changing the battery or the bulb.
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
