If you have two light bulbs running on 120V circuit one is 50W the other 100W which has high resistence?

Power = voltage times current, and ohm's law state's R = V / I, so the lower wattage light bulb must have the higher resistance.


How much does it cost to light 6 100 w light bulbs for 6 hours if the price of electrical energy is 0.09 kWh?

I assume you mean 0.09 dollars per kwh? 6 * 100w = 600w (joules per second) 600w / 1000 = 0.6kw 0.6kw * 6h = 3.6 kwh 3.6 kwh * 0.09 = 0.324 dollars So your awnser is 32 cents


The fuse between 12V car battery and relay for 2x 100w spotlights keeps blowing?

The watts in a light bulb named after James Watt?

The watt was named after James Watt. The term watt in electric appliances refers the rate at which energy is generated or consumed and therefore is measured in units (e.g. watts) that represent energy per unit time. An example; when a light bulb with a power rating of 100W is turned on for one hour, the energy used is 100 watt hours (The watt second is a unit of energy, equal to the joule).


What are energy efficient light bulbs?

A Low energy bulbs uses about 1/5 energy of a traditional bulb. ie. 20w (Low energy bulb) = 100w (standard filiment bulb) 80%+ traditional bulb s' energy is lost as heat. The 20% figure shown above only relates to the low energy bulb during its normal usage. The question was about the overall ecological balance, which includes ecological burden through manufacture, distribution and disposal (or recycling). Low energy light bulbs contain heavy metals, electronics and toxic materials, and are manufactured (and recycled) using much more complicated and, presumably, more ecologically damaging processes compared to those involved in traditional tungsten filaments. The question is still open thus.

How much energy will a 100w light bulb convert to light and heat if it is left burning for 1hour?

Power = Energy/time 100W=Energy/360 Seconds Energy = 100/360 Energy ≈ 0.27 Joules


A 100-w light bulb is turned on it has an operating voltage of 120 V how much current flows through the bulb?

The formula you are looking for is I = W/E. Amps = Watts/Volts.


What wire size is used for 100 watt 12 volt lamp?

Volts * Amps = Watts 12 V * ?Amps = 100 Watts OR ? Amps =100W/12V OR 8.33 Amps = 100W/12V Use a 10Amp fuse inline and you can get by with 16Ga wire.

How is the rating of a light bulb determined for instance 100W 60W is that how many watts an hour to run it?

No, the wattage is determined by the resistance of the filament in the light bulb. The formula to determine the wattage is Watts = Voltage (squared)/Resistance in Ohms. To find the resistance of a 120 volt light bulb use the formula, Resistance in Ohms = Voltage (squared)/Watts. So for a 100 watt bulb at 120 volts the resistance is 120 volts x 120 volts = 14400/100 = 144 ohms. For a 60 watt bulb at 120 volts the resistance is 120 volts x 120 volts = 14400/60 = 240 ohms. As you can see this holds true to Ohm's law, current is inversely proportional to the resistance of the circuit. The higher the resistance of a load, the harder it is for the current to flow. In this case less current results in less light being emitted from the filament in the light bulb.
