yes. well, sorta. it helped the start of all electricity. so if it wasnt invented, you wouldn't be able to use a computer, or atleast as fancy because it would be an earlier model because technology would be started later in life.

How did Thomas edision innovations in electricity most significantly affect people?
It is not exactly correct to describe electricity as an invention. There are a great many inventions that use electricity, but electricity itself is part of the natural world (most obviously in the form of lightning). Therefore it was discovered, rather than invented. The discovery of electricity and the various uses that were invented for it have transformed our world in very profound ways. Almost all of modern technology depends, directly or indirectly, on electricity and its uses. Without it, we would still be living in the middle ages.
What do you mean by sourcing and sinking?
A sourcing output supplies current or voltage to the load. The output would be hooked to one side of the load, and the other side is grounded. A sinking output works by pulling the voltage or current to ground. In this case, the load is connected to the 'hot' power supply terminal, and the other end is connected to the sinking output. When the output goes active ("goes low"), current flows from the power supply, through the load, then to ground via the output terminal. Sinking outputs are sometimes called 'open collector' outputs. You can visualize it this way: Take a light bulb and hook one lead to the chassis of your car. You just grounded the load. Now take a wire and hook it to the positive battery terminal. When you touch the battery wire to the bulb, it lights. You are 'sourcing' current to the bulb. Now, connect the bulb to the positive battery terminal. Take a wire and connect it to the car's frame (ground). The bulb already has a voltage supply - the positive battery terminal. When you touch the ground wire to the bulb, sinking current to ground, the bulb lights. The big deal here is IC's that sink current typically have much greater current capability than those with sourcing outputs. So why even bother with sourcing outputs? Their main claim to fame is the load can be ground-referenced, which is very desirable in some situations.
Difference between light emitting diode and laser?
LEDs, known as light emitting diodes, are comprised of two lead semiconductor light sources. Laser transmitters, also known as laser diodes are comprised of an electrically charged semiconductor laser.
What are the primary requirements to lead engineering personnel projects and other works?
end users requirements?
What is my Led and what resistor do I need?
Led is a light emitting diodes which can two leads .one lead is larger and the other is smaller. You did't use any resistor because it glows with the small amount of energy! Idiot. I mean't how to I find out what my LED is. I know what a Led is and without a resistor, you prick, It wouldnt last a second.
Did the light bulb lead to any other inventions?
Yes it did.
If a paper and pencil lead is connected to a light bulb circuit which one will turn on the light bulb?
The Pencil lead
Can you light a light bulb with pencil lead?
No.
How does the light bulb help us in this modern day?
AnswerIt is my opinion is that the light bulb can be important like if it was a dark night and you wanted light. You could turn the light on (light bulb). I also think it is stupid because if the power went out you couldn't use the light bulb because you need power!AnswerThe light bulb is important because it lead to the infrastructure of electricity in society and all of the many things that we now use electricity for. The practical light bulb led the way to so many other useful inventions; it 'shed light' on what was possible.
How did invention of the electric light bulb change the economy?
The invention of the electric light bulb had a great influence on Americas economy. The light bulb had made access to light more convenient and efficient. Also, this had lead many great minds to use electricity for other machines causing a huge boom in the economy. However this did lead to a downfall in the production of candles and lanterns.
Did the colt revolver lead to other inventions?
yes...
What other inventions did the airplane lead to?
the rocket ship

Why can pencil lead can be used to make a light bulb?
A "pencil lead" is a mixture of the graphite allotrope of carbon mixed with clay and baked hard. While a pencil lead will conduct electricity, it can not be used to make a light bulb.
Did the spinning jenny lead to any other inventions?
