What happens to the bulb when it is in a series connection?

If the bulb is in series with something else, then . . .
-- The brightness of the bulb depends on the other device in the circuit.
-- If the other device is designed to use less power than the bulb, then the other device gets more power than the bulb gets.
-- If the other device is designed to use *more power *than the bulb, then the other device gets less power 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.

Nothing special happens. It just lights up normally. A series circuit is a normal circuit, the different one is a parallel circuit.

In a series connection, the bulb receives a fraction of the total voltage, leading to reduced brightness compared to a single bulb. If one bulb in the series fails, the entire circuit goes dark. The overall brightness depends on the number of components linked in series.
