Although a light bulb could be expected to be a perfectly normal Ohmic resistor, lab experiments can be done to compare plain resistors vs light bulbs regarding conformance to Ohm's law. The data do not show the amps to be perfectly linear relationship with the voltage, meaning that they don't perfectly follow Ohm's law. This is most probably due to the way the resistivity of the materials used to make the bulb's filament (tungsten vs nichrome, etc.) varies with temperature.

How available are filament light bulbs?
I have not had any problem obtaining incandescent light bulbs.
What light bulbs provide the most natural light?
Any natural light bulbs that use incandescent lighting will work well, and give off a rounder light than the "sterile white" lighting of normal bulbs.
If you were to build a pedal generator with a bank of connected light bulbs how would you wire it so that the more power that is produced the more light bulbs light up like a drag racing light tree?
Most simply, put all the light bulbs in series with the generator. The more current you can churn out the brighter theyll get. Youll want to be careful though. Say you are using 60 watt bulbs. They each have a resistance of about 960 ohms. Therefore, if you put more than about 0.06 amps through each one, one will blow and the whole thing wont work. To get around this, you might consider connecting each one in parallel. Then you could probably pedal as hard as you wanted to and you wouldn't blow any of them. And even if you did in that case, the rest would work fine. I have no idea what a drag racing light tree is by the way.
Why are compact fluorescent light bulbs bad?
Older CFBs contained mercury. However, today's bulbs contain little, if any, mercury. Buying today's bulbs is a good choice, as they produce the same amount of light as an incandescent bulb, but yet uses a fraction of the energy.
Do you need special light bulbs for dimmer switches?
If you are using what most of us think of as a normal light bulb, what is called an incandescent bulb, you do not need special bulbs. Any fluorescent light bulb, including the new curly bulbs called CFLs, requires a special ballast. The ballasts are built into the CFLs so you would need to buy bulbs specially labeled for dimmers. Never place a dimmer on a fan, or any motor, unless it is specifically labeled for use with a dimmer.

Why are light bulbs made up transparent materials?
There's not a huge market for light bulbs that don't let any light out.
Why does it not effect any of the light bulbs when you take one light bulb out from the parallel circuit?
EASY.The removed light bulb does not have any connection to the other light bulbs. While it's socket that was holding the lght bulb has power running through it to the other bulbs also.

Will check engine light turn on if any of the light bulbs are out on a 1995 Nissan altima?
no
What fruits light up a light bulbs?
No Fruits will light up a light bulb because any fruit doesn't have any electrical energy in it :)

Are there snakes that carry light-bulbs on their bodies?
No there isn't any kind of snake that has a light bulb on it.
If some of your ceiling light bulbs are out eg 3 out of 6 does this waste electricity?
No, dude bulbs do not use any power.
Where can you buy mini light bulbs?
hello, u can buy any mini type of light bulbs online in cheap discount price from http://www.lightonline.com.au Thanks
What would happen to a series circuit if another bulb was added?
A: Adding any resistance bulbs or whatever in a series circuit will reduce current and will reduce total power. In this case the bulb will glow dimmer as any additional bulbs are placed in the series circuit. this is true if the same input source is kept constant.
Why do light bulbs use led?
no they are two different things....LED use semiconductors for light production...whereas bulbs use filaments....nothing uses any other...
