How many joules are there in a led bulb?

Since LED bulbs come in a variety of sizes there is no one answer. If we consider Watts then LED bulbs from 1 to 12 Watts are common. The higher end of quality LED lights that are commercially produced generally yield about 80 lumens per Watt. This means for a 10 Watt LED bulb your looking at 800 Lumens. This is higher than both CFL and incandescent lights. LED bulbs can save money in the long run due to the lower energy use, but they require a larger up front investment. See below for a link to an example of an LED bulb that produces 460 lumens.


What happens when you disconnect a light bulb from a series cicuit?

Dear Wiki Questioner, When you disconnect a light bulb from a series circuit, the entire circuit is broken and no electricity can flow around it... so everything else on the circuit looses access to the power source! You can think of a series circuit as a relay race, where the runners are the bulbs and wires (and anything else that is connected to the circuit). If any one of the runners in a relay race is taken out of the race (say by a sprained ankle), the relay gets stuck and the team cannot complete the race (that is to say, the electricity cannot make a complete circuit). Of course, if you plug that runner back into the system, the race continues as usual!


What does it mean when you say that light is refracted as it enters the eye?

When light reaches the lens of the eye, it bends. This change in the direction of the light is called refraction, and it is what makes the images one sees.

Why do people say that ordinary light bulbs aren't energy saving?

No light bulbs actually save energy, they use it to produce light. However energy efficient bulbs use less energy than the ordinary incandescent type. To my mind describing them as energy saving is wrong, they should be described as "lower energy" bulbs.


How may 100 watt light bulbs can this wind turbine light?

The number of 100 watt light bulbs that can be lit by a wind turbine depends on the specific characteristics and capacity of the turbine. It is determined by the rated power output of the turbine and the power consumption of the light bulbs. Generally, you would need to divide the turbine's rated power by the power consumption of the light bulbs (in this case 100 watts) to estimate the number of bulbs it can light.


How do light bulbs generate?

They light up from the piece of wire in the middle of the light bulb. Joseph Swan invented the first light bulb. Not Thomas Edison <<>> Light bulbs do not generate they are classified as a load. Generators generate power by utilizing the magnetic flux of coils in the rotor, cutting coils of wire that are located around the generator's stator.
