How much more money will it cost if you use 100 watt bulb then a 60 watt bulb?
Almost twice as much as 100 is almost twice 60.
Why is 60 watts written on the bulb?
It is probably a 60 watt bulb (believe it or not). Bulbs are rated in watts. A 100 watt bulb is brighter and consumes more power than a 60 watt bulb
What percentage is a 100 watt light bulb brighter than a 60 watt light bulb?
Original answer: Because it gives off more power. Updated answer: In general, because the 100-watt bulb produces more total light (lumens) because it also consumes more power than the 60-watt bulb. However, a 60-watt can produce more lumens than a 100-watt bulb, depending on the types of bulbs in question.
Can I use a 60 watt bulb in a 75 watt bulb ceiling fan?
Yes.
Can you use a 130 volt 60 watt bulb in a socket that was made for a 110 volt 60 watt bulb?
yes the bulb will actually last longer
What does the difference between 60-watt and a 100-watt light bulb describe?
power difference
Would you use less electrical energy burning a 60 watt light bulb for 900 seconds or a 100 watt light bulb for 500 seconds?
1 watt = 1 Joule/sec 60 watts x 900 sec = 54 000 Joule 100 watts x 500 sec = 50 000 Joule So you use less electrical energy using 100 watt light bulb for 500 seconds.
Where do you find a watt?
A watt is a measurement of electricity, usually pertaining to light. Light bulbs luminosity is graded by wattage, such as a 60 watt bulb, 100 watt bulb and so on. You would find a watt in a light bulb, to start.
What is the different between a 100 watt bulb and a 60 watt bulb?
40 watts of consumed power. The light output may be greater with one compared to the other, but wattage alone does not give us that information. Electric heaters, for example, consume 1500 watts of power and produce almost no visible light.Check the Lumen's. That is where the difference is.Current draw and light output.A 60 watt bulb uses 60 watts of electricity (i.e. it converts 60 joules of energy per second), a 100 watt bulb converts 100 joules per second. Electrical power is measured in watts. Since a 60 watt bulb pulls less energy to it than a 100 watt bulb the 60 watt bulb will not be as bright.Resistance.Just in the amount of power used and the brightness of the bulb. The 60 watt bulb might be a bit smaller.
How can a 60 watt bulb use the same power as a 60 watt bulb can in a second?
Watts is Watts and has no relation to time. w=v*a (west Virginia varsity). A 60 watt light bulb is 60 watts regardless of how long it is on. Watt hours would be what PG&E bills you for.
What rating on a led bulb do you need to provide the same amount of lights a 60 watt bulb?
100
What does the difference between a 60 watt and 100 watt light bulb?
Those numbers describe the power used by the two bulbs, in other words how many joules of electrical energy they use per second. The 100 watt bulb uses 40 watts more.
