Is a light bulb magnetic

Answer 1

A magnet alone can not light up a light bulb. There has to be some additional components used to harness enough magnetic energy to light a bulb. It also has to be focused to the correct connectors of the light bulb. EX: Find a strong cylindrical magnet and attach it to a non magnetic rod (i.e. pencil). Build a cylinders housing slightly larger than the magnet with one end open to allow the magnet to be placed inside the opening (i.e. toilet paper roll, tennis ball with hole in it, etc...). Wrap electrical hobby wire (bare copper wire) around the housing many, many tines. Attach the ends of the wires to a small light bulb. When the magnet is inserted into the housing and spun it will light up the bulb. The faster is is spun the more energy is collected. Also, check out the SEG generator using magnetic energy to power houses.

Answer 2

No, however there is a magnetic field generated by the filament in the bulb. Novelty bulbs in the past have utilized this feature by having "dancing" filaments which vibrated back and fourth as the changing magnetic field changed with the alternating current supplied to the filament in the presence of a stable a magnetic field provided by a permanent magnet in the base.

Answer 3

You can not. There is additional equipment needed. A closed wire circuit is needed in order for the current to flow and light the bulb. With this circuit in place a magnet should be able to induce a current into the wire as the magnetic flux of the magnet passes by the wire.

Answer 4

No, a typical incandescent light bulb is not magnetic. However, some types of light bulbs, such as CFLs or LEDs, may contain small amounts of magnetic materials in their electronic components.
