If the bulb is in series with something else, then . . .
-- The brightness of the bulb depends on the <em>other</em> device in the circuit.
-- If the other device is designed to use <em>less power</em> than the bulb, then the
other device gets <em>more power</em> than the bulb gets.
-- If the other device is designed to use <em>more power </em>than the bulb, then the
other device gets <em>less power</em> than the bulb gets.
-- If the other device is removed from the circuit, then the bulb doesn't light at all.
This description of the often-screwy behavior of a series circuit may partly explain
why the electric service in your home is not a series circuit.
Five ways to decrease resistance are:
1) Increase "Current"
2) Decrease "Potential difference"
3) Decrease "length" of conductor
4) Increase "Area of cross-section" of conductor
5) Switch to material of low "Resistivity"
Hope this helps!
<span>The amount of solar energy available varies by location on earth, the time of the day at that location, the season and weather conditions. Rain, fog, and clouds will lower the amount of solar power available to gather and there are fewer hours of sun available in different seasons (winter for North America). To gather solar power, you also need a large area. This can be lessened by conditions such as snow, so that even on a sunny day, covered panels will collect less energy.</span>
