Do a 12 volt 50 watt bulb and a 230 volt 50 watt bulb draw the same current?
A 50 watt bulb designed to run on 12 volts takes 4.17 amps. A 50 watt bulb designed to run on 230 volts takes 0.217 amps.
Can you operate a 24 volt sump pump with 12 volt battery?
No, you will need two 12 volt batteries connected in series to give the 24 volts necessary to run the pump. It will not run on 12 volts.
What kind of battery can power a 40 watt light bulb?
If the bulb is a 40 watt, 120v bulb, you would need 20 6 volt batteries wired in series, or 80 (!) 1.5 volt batteries. 1.5 volt batteries are AAA, AA, C, D, etc. Since this solution is rather extravagant, try finding a light bulb made for an RV. These typically run off of 12 volts, and you can get a single 12 volt battery, or 2 6 volt batteries, to run this bulb.
Can you run a 12 volt ac water pump with a 12 volt dc adapter?
No. You need 12 volt AC to run a 12 volt AC motor, not 12 volt DC.
Is 12 volt is enough for a 100 watt light bulb?
12 volts is enough for a 12-volt 100-watt light bulb. It would not be enough for a 120-volt or 240-volt bulb.
What bulb do you use for 12 volt instead of a t1133 6 volt bulb?
A couple quick questions first please ... why are you using a 12 volt lamp in a 6 volt system? Have you increased the system voltage? Simply replacing a 6 volt bulb with a 12 volt bulb will cause the 12 volt bulb to burn dim ... Some systems have electrical circuits that drop (decrease) the voltage to certain units (like lights). For instance, your car is a 12 volt system (actually 14 when alternator is operating) and that 12 volts can be reduced with resistors to supply only 6 of those volts to a light ... or other device. Simply replacing with a 12 volt lamp will cause it to burn dimmer. Sorry to answer with a question but, I am just curious ...
Will your 60 watt solar panal light up a 12 volts bulb without inventor?
If it is a 12 volt panel it will light a 12 volt bulb. Most likely it is not a 12 volt panel, it is some other voltage, so you then need equipment like an inverter to convert the energy to 12-volt energy.
How do you modify 240 volt appliances to run directly on 12 volts?
You don't.
Which 12 volt bulb will draw the most current when connected to a 12 volt battery?
The bulb with the lowest resistance. Current = Volts / Resistance
Do you replace the coil from a 6 volt to a 12 volt when converting from 6 volt to a 12 volt system?
Yes. Since the coil is run at full voltage when starting 12 volts may be too much for a 6 volt ignition coil. It would be at about 8 volts when running. There is a starting resistor.
If a circuit contains a twelve volt battery a switch and a light bulb what is the potential difference?
The potential difference has to be 12 Volts since the light bulb will use 12 Volts (or Joules per Coulomb!) of energy. Voltage has to be 0 when it reaches the negative electrode of the battery, so you know that the 12 Volts have to have been consumed by the bulb!
How do you run a 12 volt automobile light on 110 ac?
No. The bulb will burn out.
