Never put a bulb in a light socket what has a higher wattage rating than the socket. This could cause either or both of the following problems, which could result in a fire:
- excessive current will cause heating of the wires providing power to the socket
- the higher wattage bulb will be hotter than expected and may ignite the lampshade or other parts near it

Which has a higher resistance a 5w lamp bulb or a 25w lamp bulb and how many times?

What is the difference if a switch is before or after a bulb in a circuit?
It is a safety concern. With the switch before the bulb, the bulb is completely isolated from the potential source when the switch is turned off. With the switch behind the bulb, even if the switch is turned off, the potential source is still at the bulb. If any of these lamp holder parts touch the ground when removing the bulb the circuit will short out and trip the breaker. If you are grounded and touch any of the lamp holder parts you will get a nasty shock.

A 100w electric light bulb is connected to 200v supply calculate the current following in the bulb?
40W Bulb will spiol due to over current passing through its coilAnswerSince the 40-W lamp has a higher resistance than the 100-W lamp, the greater voltage drop will appear the 40 W lamp. As a result the 40 W lamp will be subjected to a voltage beyond its 100-V rating, and the 100-W lamp will be subjected to a voltage below its 100-V rating. Therefore, the 40-W lamp will burn much more brightly than the 100-W lamp.Incidentally, the symbols for the 'watt' and 'volt' are upper, not lower, case: W and V.

Could a lamp bulb 110v-130v 2w 17mA be used on a 120v 40w bulb max lamp?
Yes. As long as the voltage is designed for the lamp and the socket and fixture can handle the heat (from the rated power in watts), you can. You will probably find that the socket or connector for this lamp is different than the one intended.

How does a self ballasted bulb screw into a regular lamp?
You should be able to use a self ballasted lamp in a regular socket safely as long as you do not exceed the wattage recommendations of the fixture. Self Ballasted simply means that the electronics to drive the flourescent bulb are all contained withing the packaging of the lamp. I hope this cleared up the question. Ben M.
