will will the thickness of wires in a electric circuit affect the brightness of a bulb in the same circuit?

Question

Science experiment

Answer 1

Absolutely not.. the thickness of the wire is the wire's ability(in general terms) to carry a heaver current... You would not want a small wire leading to a switch that turned on 10 or so big light bulbs.... It would heat the wire and cause a fire so the wire has to be of certain strength to carry the load adequately and not to cause a fire..

Answer 2

You wager! The thicker the twine the extra modern it may bypass and much less resistance it has. Resistance is R=pA/L p- resistivity cloth consistent A - conductor's bypass sectional section L - conductor's length The twine is hooked up in sequence with the bulb through fact the bulb is rated to offer a particular brightness at a particular furnish voltage. If the voltage drop around the twine is intense the lamp will dim through fact the wires resistance will take a number of the voltage removed from the bulb.

Answer 3

Not significantly in the REAL world.

But for science reasons - yes.

Current carrying capacity varies with thickness (cross sectional area), also the resistance will vary with length.

If the wire is thin enough to be affected thermally by the current it carries, then the light WILL dim as power is being lost due to increased cable resistance.

Answer 4

If the wire is too small to carry the current then the light will dim

Answer 5

the longer the wire the more resistance, the shorter the wire the less resistance. bigger gauge wire has less resistance as long as the power supply is strong enough.

Answer 6

What was the result of the experiment? Then we'll know.

Answer 7

Not significantly unless they are way too thin
