How does a choke work in a tube light circuit?

The choke works in conjunction with a starter . When you turn on the light , voltage is applied to the choke, and when the switch opens after a few seconds, it creates a high voltage across the contacts at each end of the tube. This starts the ionization of the gas , which glows. Once ionized, it continues producing light even when the voltage applied is only 120 VAC, the power line voltage.


Who lights brighter bulb in a parallel circuit?

Yes, since each light would get the full voltage. Be careful if you actually carry out this experiment, that the lights don't get too much voltage. If the voltage is (for example) 110 Volts, and the lights are built for 110 Volts, you would have no problem; in a series circuit they would simply get dimmer.because the wires are togetherAnswerNot necessarily. It depends upon the voltage ratings of the lamps, and whether the voltage across each lamp matches their voltage rating.


Why does not a bulb glows with wee megger?

no current


What is the energy use difference between low voltage lighting and line voltage?

A low voltage electrical system consists of a transformer and an output of about 12 volts. It is frequently used by a home owner to run a wire along the ground to put lights along a walkway. If an animal bites the wire or someone cuts the wire and touches the loose ends, he will get a shock but it will not do major damage. Unlike regular house current, it will not kill.AnswerAccording to BS 7671:2008, Requirements for Electrical Installations, more commonly known as the Wiring Regulations, nominal a.c. voltages are defined in the UK as follows:Extra-low voltage: not exceeding 50 V a.c., whether between conductors or to earth.Low voltage: exceeding extra-low voltage, but not exceeding 1000 V a.c. between conductors, or 1500 V a.c. between conductors and earth.High voltage: normally exceeding low voltage.


When an ac bulb glows the phase wire gives a shock when touched by hand but the neutral wire doesn't?

How does electricity flow through a light?

A voltage is applied across the terminals of the light fixture to which the bulb is attached by two terminals, hot and neutral. A current then flows through the bulb. In an incandescent light the filament wire heats up and glows.


What is the definition of electric bulb?

A glass sphere containing a metal element that glows when electricity is applied.


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.


This element glows verry nicely when you put a high voltage of electricity through it?

In LED monitors what does LED stands for?

LED means "light emitting diode." That is a semiconductor that produces light. LEDs are found on various parts of a computer. Some are used such as on the front panel to show that the computer is in use. Some are used for status lights, speed indicators, temperature gauges, and for decoration. Then of course there are LED-based computer monitors. They use an entire sheet of many tiny LEDs which are connected to driver circuitry and are used the same way as traditional CRT-based computer monitors. The overall result is the same - electrons excite a rare material and cause it to glow, but the method is different. CRT monitors used a high voltage electron beam to strike phosphors on the front of the CRT tube. LED and LCD monitors use lower voltage that is directly applied to the material, and the result is the same - it glows.

What is a discharge tube?

A closed vessel having electrodes at either end and containing agas at low pressure. When a sufficient voltage is applied to theelectrodes, an electric current flows through the gas. Dischargetubes can be used to prevent current flow below a certainvoltage; they can also function as lamps by the use of ionizinggas, which glows when current flows through the tube.


Is glows a verb?

Glows is the third person singular conjugation of the verb glow. The burner on the stove glows when hot.
