Fluorescent fixtures can be used with a variety of voltages.
The fluorescence is experimentally identified.You need an ultraviolet lamp to irradiate the mineral sample.
The lamp needs to be rated for the voltage applied to it. The fixture in which the lamp is installed also needs to be rated for the voltage. So, it is not a matter of changing the lamp, it is a matter of having the fixture and lamp that are properly rated for the voltage that you are applying to it.
the supply voltage to a mercury vapour lamp (from the electromagnetic ballast) is 130vac
because it does!
A fluorescent lamp refers to a low pressure mercury-vapor gas-discharge lamp that uses fluorescence in order to produce visible light. It is also called a fluorescent tube.
6 Volts.
A lamp will only operate at its rated power if it is subjected to its rated voltage. Increase that voltage will increase the power of the lamp -in other words, it will operate more brightly. This is how 'photoflood' lamps operate -they are deliberately designed to operate at overvoltage. Of course, this reduces the life of the lamp.
The voltage is greater than the applied voltage, why?
A lamp can be run by power from a telephone line.
Because the filament of a 25-W lamp has a higher resistance than that of a 60-W lamp and, therefore, will experience a greater voltage drop -the lamp with the voltage drop closer to its rated voltage (in this case, the 25-W lamp) will be the brighter.
The function of a choke in a lamp circuit is to produce high voltage. In tubelights, the high voltage is essential for ionisation of the gas which is present in tubelights.
In order to 'power' a lamp, you need to connect that lamp to a voltage supply. But why would you use gold wire when copper is a better conductor?
