For most light bulbs, they consume equal amounts of energy regardless of bright or dark environments. This is because a light bulb is simply lit up by a power source, and is unable to control brightness, producing the same amount of light. That is why most people say we should not waste energy by switching on a light bulb in the day.

Does a larger battery contain more energy than a smaller light bulb?

A light bulb contains no energy so, Yes, a battery of any size contains more energy than any light bulb.

What is the job of a light bulb?

The job of a light bulb is to convert electrical energy into visible light energy. (Not ALL of the electrical energy a bulb uses is converted to light energy. Their efficiency is quite low. An incandescent light bulb is more efficient as a heater than as a source of visible light. Fortunately, our eyes are very sensitive.)


How is a led bulb different to a light bulb?

LED light bulbs are more energy efficient, environment friendly, and provide you more savings.


What uses more energy a 60 watt light bulb or 18 watt light bulb?

This depends on how long it is being used. The 60 Watt bulb consumes 2.6667 times the power of an 18 Watt bulb, but energy equals power times time. There is also an amount of 'hidden' energy: the energy to manufacture and transport the bulb. This depends on how long it is being used.

Does a high watt bulb give more energy than a low watt bulb?

More watts means it uses more energy per second (watt is a unit of power). If it is a light-bulb of the same type of technology, the higher-watt light bulb would also give off more light.


What does 40W mean on a light bulb?

40W on a light bulb indicates that the bulb consumes 40 watts of power. This measurement refers to the amount of energy the bulb consumes to produce light. In general, higher wattage bulbs produce more light but also consume more energy.


What type of energy does a light bulb give off?

It makes thermal energy (the heat), radiant energy (what we see), which is in essence more or less the same manifestation.


Compare and contrast a 60 watt and 100 watt light bulb?

The more energy that is transferred in a certain time, the greater the power. A 100W light bulb transfers more electrical energy each second than a 60W light bulb.The equation below shows the relationship between power, potential difference (voltage) and current:power (watts) = current (amps) x potential difference (volts)


How do you think energy transfers would be different in a lamp using a more efficient light bulb?

It would be more different since it will take up more power than the less efficient light bulb. Instead of using all the solar power it will probably need the forces of 2 energies to light the bulb.


A 100 watt light bulb converts electrical energy into electromagnetic energy at a slower rate that a 40 watt light bulb?

The higher the wattage, the more electrical energy is being used. In a light bulb the electrical energy is converted to EM energy which appears in both visible and infrared parts of the spectrum, so the answer is no, it will be at a higher rate for a 100 watt bulb
