None, unless there's a radio or someting else built into the lamp base.
The amount of electricity a plugged-in lamp uses depends on its wattage. A typical 60-watt bulb, if left on for one hour, uses 0.06 kilowatt-hours of electricity.
The cost of electricity for a light bulb being on for a long time depends on the wattage of the bulb, the electricity rate per kilowatt-hour, and the duration it is on. To calculate the cost, you can use the formula: (Wattage of bulb / 1000) * hours on * cost per kilowatt-hour.
Because to much electricity is getting through to the light bulb.
The quantity of power consumed by a light bulb is dependant on the wattage of the bulb.
Find out what the wattage of the bulb in the fixture is and you will have your answer.
It can hardly light a led bulb .
Because it is made to do so. An incandescent light bulb glows because electricity heats the filament until it is very hot and excites the atoms so much they emit "black body" radiation, much of which is in the visible part of the spectrum.
It depends on the type of bulb used. The term "60 watt" is the power consumed by an incandescent bulb producing about 800 lumens of light. This would use about 1.44 Kw-hr of electricity if operated continuously for 24 hours.A compact fluorescent lamp (CFL) would require only 13 to 15 watts, about 25% as much electricity.A light-emitting diode lamp (LED) would require only 6 to 8 watts, about 13% as much as the 60-watt.
When the switch is open there should be no current flow.
It is not recommended to use a 250 watt bulb in a lamp designed for a maximum wattage of 150 watts. Doing so can potentially cause overheating, damage the lamp socket or wiring, and create a fire hazard. Always use the correct wattage bulb recommended for your lamp to ensure safety.
The average home fluorescent lamp consumes 40W of power. Running for one hour it will consume 0.04 KWh. Units of electricity are charged per Kilowatt hour.
The answer is simply100 Watts. The Wattage rating of electric light bulbs is just the amount of electricity they consume. So a 60 Watt bulb would take 60 Watts of electricity. In fact, if you could buy a 100 Watt CFL, it would have the light output equivalent to about eight 100 Watt conventional (incandescent) light bulbs.
