Depending on the length of the wire difference between the shot and long wire, in technical fact the bulb would be brighter if a shorter wire was used, but not that much brighter. Energy is used up as it travels along wires.

Using a shorter wire with the same resistance would result in a brighter bulb, as there would be less electrical resistance in the circuit, allowing more current to flow through the bulb. This would make the bulb emit more light.

If you mean the length of the wire that supplies current to the bulb, the bulb will dim due to increased resistance in the wire, if you make it longer.

resistance is directly proportional to length and inversely proportional to area if more resistance is there more emf is converted to heat energy so the bulb will get dimmer due to less voltage
