What will happen to a 12 Volt light bulb in a 24 Volt circuit?
Interested in the essence, an example, perhaps rough, but I will be glad to be more correct.
Are 12 volt bulbs tuned to such a voltage due to a certain resistance so that no more or less amperes pass? The battery is 12 volts, under it is a light bulb with a voltage of 40 ohms and all 0.3 A flows quietly.
And with the same light bulb for 12 volts in a circuit of 24 or more volts.
The voltage of 24 Volts through the same 40 Ohms will already be 0.6 Amperes, and it is precisely because of the excess of the current that it will burn out and something else will suffer if there are other devices in the same circuit?
And in this case, if 2 12-volt bulbs are plugged into a 24-volt circuit in series, will they not burn out if they are always turned on only together?
Do I understand this correctly, that it's all about amps or something is wrong here?

due to excess current, it will burn out
The 12V lamp will burn out when 24V is connected due to the excess of the rated current in the circuit by 2 times.
2 bulbs will work in series; the current through them will be the same, calculated.
Ohms are not voltage.
The voltage of 24 volts through the same 40 ohms will already be 0.6 amperes
