In the sense of 'work' as force moving through a distance, a light bulb does none
of that.
But in the sense that mechanical work is equivalent to energy in other realms,
the 75-watt light bulb consumes 75 joules of electrical energy every second,
and radiates 75 joules per second of energy in the form of light and heat.
25 watts?
False. They contain two filaments which are first switched on independently of one another (the lowest two settings), then switched on simultaneously to produce the highest setting. For instance a bulb containing a 25 watt filament and a 50 watt filament will produce 25, 50 and 75 watts of light.
A watt is equal to 1 Joule per second. So 432 Joules * (1 / 75 Joules per second) = 432/75 = 5.76 seconds.
75W means bulb which give 75W power when connected to domestic light. Power is nothing but energy per second. Thus energy consumed by bulb can be calculated as follows. E = 75*60*60*4J = 1080kJ
A kilowatt hour is equal to the amount of electrical energy consumed at a rate of one kilowatt. 1 kilowatt hour is the same as 1000 watt-hours.So using that principle. A 500 watt microwave will consume 500 watt-hours in an hour, or 0.5 kilowatt-hour.CommentIn practice, it's difficult to determine an answer to your question, because microwaves don't operate continuously but, rather, in short bursts. Without knowing the cycle rate of each burst of energy, it's impossible to come up with a definitive answer.
A 15-watt fluorescent should produce about as much light as a 75-watt incandescent.
A 75 bulb will use more electricity.
Yes.
1 Joule = 1 Watt.sec, ie 1 Watt for 1 second. A 75 Watt bulb dissipates 75 Joules every second, so the answer is 10/75 of a second = 0.1333 seconds
It depends on the bulb
It's 75/120 and the answer is in amps.
It is equivalent to a 75 watt incandescent bulb
The bulb's power, 75 watts, is the power it uses continuously all the time it is switched on. The energy it uses can be measured in watt-seconds (Joules) or in watt-hours. A 75 watt bulb uses 75 watt-hours each hour, which is 0.075 kilowatt-hour.
Usually the 60-watt limit is used to prevent the lampshade overheating, so a 75-watt bulb should not be used. But if more brightness is required, try a low-energy bulb because a 15-watt one gives the same light as a 75-watt incandescent (old-style) bulb. Or a 20-watt would be even brighter.
Yes.
Yes, it would be. I use a 75 watt heat bulb in an 110 qt tub for my boa constrictor, and it keeps it a cozy 95 degrees. A 50 watt bulb with a UTH for your cage should be sufficient.
A 120 volt table lamp with a 75 watt bulb will pull 0.625 amps. With a 100 watt bulb it will pull 0.833 amps. And with a modern fluorescent 13 watt bulb it will pull 0.108 amps.
