What is the difference between CFL and fluorescent?
There is no difference. CFL is an abbreviation for Compact Fluorescent Light which has simply been designed to take up less space than the standard tubes.
What are some different names of light bulbs?
CFL or LED
How are CFL light bulbs better than regular light bulbs?
A CFL uses 65% less energy and can reduce your power bill as well.A longer answerSince major improvements in the design of Compact Fluorescent Lamps (CFLs) from 1990 onwards, by using a CFL light bulb 80% energy of the energy can be saved compared to the energy that is needed to produce a given amount of artificial light using conventional incandescent filament bulbs.In other words, to produce the same amount of visible light, a modern CFL uses only 1/5 (one fifth) of the power that an incandescent filament bulb uses.For example, a 20 watt CFL bulb produces similar light to a 100 watt incandescent filament bulb and a 30 watt CFL matches the light output of a 150 watt incandescent filament bulb.CFLs also have a much longer useful life-span, thus avoiding the need to change them as often as incandescent light bulbs.Another opinionThere are issues with the additional power used to manufacture CFL bulbs and the toxic chemicals inside these units.But, whilst they certainly do save energy for the end user, their drawbacks are that they probably use more energy overall and their manufacture causes more pollution.
How does a large surface area help the function of a system?
A surface is where things happen between what is on one side of the surface and the other. Thus in general if you want more of these happenings (eg gas exchange) you need the biggest possible surface area. If however you want to minimise these happenings (eg heat loss) you try and reduce the surface area.
Why is it necessary to cut the leafy shoot and fit it into the potometer under water?
To minimise the contact between the air and the cut end of the leafy shoot
Why sinusoidal functions are given so much of importance than other?
sinusoidal functions are the function of sin/cos then using this function minimise the jerk in the system
Why is loadshedding necessary?
Since there is no sufficient power available as per the demand
What is the CFL?
The CFL is the Canadian Football League. The CFL is Canada's professional football league.
What is a the function of the sheave wheel?
minimise such friction and so decrease the wear of lifting and pulling equipment over their service life.
Why does load shading occur?
Due to cruption among the government the loadshedding occurs
How do you minimise errors in numerical integration?
Increase the number of segments into which the domain is divided. In particular, increase them where the function has the greatest absolute gradient.
Who is the founder of the CFL?
tom wright was the commissioner of the CFL
