Halogen bulbs generate a lot of heat and for that reason the power (watts) is limited, to prevent a fire hazard. Each light fitting should be marked with a power limit which should be observed. Without additional information a 300 w bulb should not be put in a fiiting that previously had a 230 w bulb.

How many watts 1 amp?

Watts (P) = Volts (V) x Current (I) Assumption V = 115 VAC, I = 1A P= 115 x 1, P = 115W 1 Amp @ 115VAC power system = 115W Assumption V =230VAC (international system), I =1A P = 230 x 1, P = 230W 1 Amp @ 230VAC power system = 230W


Advantages series and parallel connection?

If a switch is added, all of the bulbs/lights/motors can be turned on and off at the same time, instead of needing several switches. Also, if a bulb is dead, you can't tell what bulb is dead because they are all connected.


What Classes are taken in Veterinarian Schools?

Two semesters of general chemistry with lab (CHEM 110, 111, 112, and 113)Two semesters of organic chemistry with lab (CHEM 202 and 203; or CHEM 210, 212, and 213)One or two semesters of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology with laboratory (B M B 211, 212, and 221; or B M B 401 and 402)B M B 251: Molecular and Cell Biology is also required by some veterinary collegesTwo semesters of general biology with labs (BIOL 110, and BIOL 220W, 230W, or 240W).Two semesters of physics with lab (PHYS 250 and 251)Mathematics-The minimum requirement ranges from algebra and trigonometry to two semesters of calculus and varies with each school. Note that it is a minimum requirement. Most schools do not accept students who have not taken calculus, even if their published requirement is algebra and trigonometry (MATH 140 and 141).General education-Penn State students rarely have difficulty meeting this requirement if they meet Penn State's General Education requirements for graduation.The specific number of credits required in each of the above categories may vary among veterinary schools. Thus, it is important to check the specific admissions requirements for each veterinary school.


Why does my computer always shut down on my Sims 2 games?

Download speedfan, turn everything to 100% and check if you can play. It's probably a problem with your fans and your computer decides to shutdown because it gets overheated. If this doesn't work, try to open your computer and clean it with canned air... I've also gotten these solutions from a forum. I haven't tried 'em yet(I have the same problem as you), but I'll post them anyway: "There is a few possibilties 1. Cpu under load starts causing errors 2. Memory chips are duff 3. Power supply has a bad rail causing intermittent shutdowns 4. Motherboard has an intermittent fault causing a restart 5. One i found myself CD-ROM is broken causing the computer to lock up on startup as it can,t read the CD-ROM Solutions cheapskate version 1. Swap CPU or try it out on a friends comp the latter being the cheapest way. 2 Take out mem chips one by one until the problem disappears or run memtest dos version if you only have one chip 3 Find a friend with the same type power supply. There is 3 common kinds AT one blade Atx 2 blades Btx not out yet in any meaniful way. A xp or p4 will need at least 300w a p3 or athlon will make do with 230w this will work in a xp or p4 would not advise it though. And plug it into your system see if the problem disapates. If you move the cases about you can check your system without removing the supply in the other case. The leads will stretch over. 4.If you have tried all of the above and everthing checks out it usually means your motherboard is dying. Caused by a dry solder or a faulty chip. Use hwinfo dos version to check motherboard it has got basic set of tests to run. 5. Broken CD-ROM/ Windows will start up as normal but will freeze just before you go into the welcome screen. 6 Have some really nice friends with a similar comp" /NoNo Another one is that maybe you bumped the power of the CPU LOL! Coz that happened to me already!
