How many volts do needed to light a bulb per hour?
You generally need the same number of volts for a given amount of light (lumens), regardless of how many hours you use it. They typically measure the amount of energy used by a bulb in "watts", not volts, and you can find a wide range of wattage ratings from milliwatt LEDs to 1000-watt floodlights and on up.
What object could you use to measure the brightness of the bulb?
An item called a LUX meter is usually used for the determination of the brightness of a light bulb. It is generally a meter that measures the amount of incident white light.
Is heat given off by a light bulb classified as matter?
no because it doesn't take up any amount of space
How much heat does a light bulb make?
The electrical term Watts is a measure of heat. It is calculated by multiplying amps times volts, but it is still a measure of heat. A 50w light bulb made for 12 volts produces about the same amount of heat as a 50w light bulb made for 120 volts.
What is the regular light bulb called?
Assuming you mean the type that was invented by Thomas Edison, it is the Incandescent Bulb. Light is given off by a coiled Tungsten filament that is heated by an electric current flowing through it. The amount of light given off is rated in Lumens, but most generally the consumer relates it to "Wattage". The higher the wattage the more light given off.
What radiation is the light bulb?
Light, heat, and a very small amount of electromagnetic field.
What forms of energy are given off by a light bulb?
Heat and Light
How would a meter be connected in a circuit too measure the voltage at a light bulb?
When connecting a volt meter to a light bulb to measure the voltage of the light bulb, run a third wire from where the wire enters the bulb to one terminal of the voltmeter and a fourth wire from the other side of the bulb to the other terminal of the voltmeter.
Does the place where the light bulb is affect the heat given off?
does the vessel where the light bulb is placed affect the heat
What kind of light bulb gives off the most heat?
Incandescent bulbs produce the most heat for a given amount of light; fluorescent lights produce much less heat, and LED produces the least.
Describe how a meter would be connected in a circuit too measure the voltage at a light bulb?
When connecting a volt meter to a light bulb to measure the voltage of the light bulb, run a third wire from where the wire enters the bulb to one terminal of the voltmeter and a fourth wire from the other side of the bulb to the other terminal of the voltmeter.
What does an energy saving light bulb do?
It uses less energy to produce the same amount of illumination as a standard light bulb
