There's not enough information in the question to provide a definite answer. It is like asking "How long does it take to get from point A to point B?" The answer depends on other factors i.e. How far is it and what is your average speed?

How much voltage is needed for a 100 watt light bulb? The answer depends on the design of the bulb. A 12 volt 100 watt bulb requires 12 volts to function at a power level of 100 watts. Likewise, a 120 volt 100 watt bulb requires 120 volts to function at 100 watts. As far as I know, that's about all the answer there is.

Obviously this person is talking about the 100watt light bulbs that you would find in any grocery store across the country. Those require 110 volts. That's what comes out of your wall socket. If you were to travel to Europe you would need a different bulb because they run 220volt electrical lines to their outlets. We measure the electricity running into our homes(or potential energy) by volts and amps. Watts are a measure energy used.

1watt = 1volt x 1amp.

What will happen if this 4.5 v bulb is connected to a 1.5 v cell?

The bulb need the correct voltage to operate. Your bulb would light if it is a 1.5 volt light. So the voltage of the supply and the light must be matched. Too little voltage won't light the light, too much will light it too much and blow it up.


What will happen if a light bulb gets too much electricity?

If its an incandescent bulb the filament burns out; depending on the voltage put through the bulb (and the operating voltage of the bulb) the results can be quite spectacular. Normally the filament will burn out with a bright flash, if the voltage is high enough the bulb may explode.


What part of a light bulb has the most resistance?

the actual filament itself in a light bulb has the most resistance,this is why it glows and produces light,the rest of the bulb is sufficiently engineered to carry the voltage and current applied to it without producing too much heat.


How much voltage required for buib?

Actually the range of the voltage required for the bulb is depends on type of the bulb. Hence the range is mentioned on the pack of the light. It may be 30v, 60v,120v. In order to avoid voltage fluctuations place a adapter to the bulb. Vocca adapters are available in the market. They can reduce the voltage fluctuations. And also vocca adapters are voice activated adapters.


How much voltage is needed for a 25 watt light bulb for 30 seconds?

It depends in which country you are located. Through out the world that are different electrical voltages. The electrical manufactures knowing this and wanting to sell world wide make bulb to run on that countries electrical system. The two main voltages that bulbs operate on are; in 60 Hertz countries 120 volts and 50 Hertz countries 230 volts.


How much voltage a 0v bulb need to glow?

Some small voltage above 0.


Why will the bulb not light up in a short circuit?

That's because the path of the short circuit provides a much lower resistance than the actual path and which the current will choose to flow through the path with a lower resistance rather than the path connected to a bulb,which explains that why the bulb won't light up.


How much current would a 15W light bulb draw if it had 120 volts applied to it?

Basically, Power = Current*Voltage Current = Power/Voltage Current = 15/120 Current = 0.125A or 125mA


What materials do you need to make a potato light up a light bulb?

Dissimilar metals with very different electronegativities as electrodes (copper and zinc are two good choices), wiring to complete a circuit, a light bulb that does not take very much voltage to light, a potato, and something else to eat for lunch.


If a incandescent lamp is connected to a 12-v lantern battery if the current flow is 8.5mA how much?

How much what? Power? 102mW (0.102W). How much light? A filament bulb produces 1 to 3 percent of the power input as light if the proper voltage is applied. If the lamp is rated for a higher voltage, it won't get hot enough and the light out will be a lot less.
