More watts means it uses more energy per second (watt is a unit of power). If it is a light-bulb of the same type of technology, the higher-watt light bulb would also give off more light.

Not at all. The high wattage number on the fixture is the maximum that should be put in.

What uses more electricity a lit light bulb or an empty socket of the same rating switched on?

When the bulb is lit it uses energy. When there is no bulb, no energy is used even if it is switched on.


What uses more energy a 60 watt light bulb or 18 watt light bulb?

This depends on how long it is being used. The 60 Watt bulb consumes 2.6667 times the power of an 18 Watt bulb, but energy equals power times time. There is also an amount of 'hidden' energy: the energy to manufacture and transport the bulb. This depends on how long it is being used.

Is a light bulb an exothermic reaction?

More technically, the energy is released.


A 100 watt light bulb converts electrical energy into electromagnetic energy at a slower rate that a 40 watt light bulb?

The higher the wattage, the more electrical energy is being used. In a light bulb the electrical energy is converted to EM energy which appears in both visible and infrared parts of the spectrum, so the answer is no, it will be at a higher rate for a 100 watt bulb


Does a 60 watt light bulb evaporate water faster than the sun?

Faster than ambient left alone? If compare to open air then it is faster with extra heat source of 100 Watt. If it had twice the bulb then it is faster than 1 bulb. Light bulb is the energy source and evaporation require energy. Provide extra energy help speed up evaporation.

What type of energy does a light bulb give off?

It makes thermal energy (the heat), radiant energy (what we see), which is in essence more or less the same manifestation.


Does a larger battery contain more energy than a smaller light bulb?

A light bulb contains no energy so, Yes, a battery of any size contains more energy than any light bulb.


Why is a low energy light bulb described as more efficient than a normal light bulb?

Because efficiency is measured in Output/input. At the same light bulb output, one with lesser energy input required is higher in efficiency. Possible confusion come from description of low energy light bulb without stated the high or low energy is compared at what lux it can produce light.


Which would use more energy a 50 watt bulb or a 75 watt bulb?
