A circuit contains three light bulbs in parallel. After observation, a fourth light bulb is added, also in parallel. How does the intensity of the four light bulb circuit compare with the intensity of the three light bulb circuit?

ANSWER:

It has the same intensity

Step-by-step explanation:

In a parallel circuit, the voltage across each of the components is the same, and the total current is the sum of the currents through each component.

If two or more components are connected in parallel they have the same potential difference ( voltage) across their ends. The potential differences across the components are the same in magnitude, and they also have identical polarities. The same voltage is applicable to all circuit components connected in parallel.
