600w - the thicker filament has a lower resistance, which leads to a higher current and thus higher wattage

How many 100w light bulbs connceted 6a circuit?

On 120 volts seven could be used, on 240 v fourteen of them.


How does an 25w compact fluorescent bulb provides the same amount of light as a 100w filament bulb but use less electricity?

It uses modern technology to give better efficiency. A filament bulb has an incandescent (hot) piece of tungsten wire, which produces light but also heat. A fluorescent bulb uses a different process to produce more light and less heat.


Does a 100w lamp use more energy than two 60w lamps?

NO. Two 60W lamps will use 120W - which is more than 100W !!


What power is used by two 100 watts bulbs with 220 volts connecting in series?

answer is 2 lamps...For 200w/220vp1=v*i1200=220*i1we get i1=10/11v=i1*r1220=(10/11)*r1r1=242 ohms --------------1For 100w/220vp2=v*i2100=220*i2we get i2=5/11v=i2*r2200=(5/11)*r2r2=484 ohms----------------2As n no of 200w/220v lamp is connected in series should consume the same power as that of single 100w/220v lamp ....(v^2/n*r1)=(v^2/n*r2)-----------------3substituting 1 and 2 in 3 ,we get..n=2hope am right...if not correct me...ANSWERUnfortunately, you are wrong.As the resistance of each lamp filament is temperature dependent (a hot lamp has up to 18 times its cold resistance!) , there is no way of determining the resistance of each lamp when subjected to a voltage other than its rated voltage because we don't know the operating temperature at the reduced voltage. So there's no way of calculating the resulting power of each lamp when connected in series and subject to half its rated voltage. So this question cannot be answered.

How long will 100 watt bulb last?

Read the label on the container. The light bulb will be rated "B-10" life. This refers to a statistical number value. "B-10" Life is the average life span a bulb will last for 90% of those tested. If you went purely by the "average" time to burn out, then that is not specific. One brand of light bulbs can have a higher Average. But if it has a lot of scatter in the data, then that would mean some bulbs could fail much earlier and some much later. On the other hand, if you determine a bulb has a X hour "average" life with a minium scatter factor, then more of the bulbs will perform closer to the average. Read the label on the box.

Do the energy saving light bulbs cause headaches?

I'm suprised there hasn't been more of a response to this question. On the 30th August 2009, a Europe-wide ban on traditional incandescent bulbs began its roll out, starting with a ban on 100W bulbs and old-style frosted or pearled bulbs. So, IF these bulbs trigger migraines, then there's going to be tears before bedtime, isn't there? http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-505571/Energy-saving-bulbs-cause-migraines-warn-experts.html

If a light bulb is a hundred watts but puts out 23 watts can it be used in a smaller light fixture?

A 100W incandescent lightbulb is rated this way because it consumes 100W of power to produce a given amount of lumens. The wattage is a power number derived from the voltage supplied multiplied by the current that will flow through the filament. Consequently, the filament acts as a resistive component and will always draw the rated current when supplied with the rated voltage. Now, lets say you have a light bulb rated at 100W for 430V and you want to use it in a 110V 40W fixture. This would be an example of a 100W bulb drawing only 23W. Assuming the screw base is the same, there is no electrical reason it couldn't be used because the voltage rating of the bulb exceeds the supply and the current draw is lower than the maximum rating of the lamp. But what of fluorescents? This is a no go. You cannot run a 430V ballast on 110V and expect it to work correctly.
