Evaporation of the water in the wet bulb fabric cover causes the temperature of the wet bulb to go down. When the air is dry, more water will evaporate, and when the air is saturated, less will evaporate.

What cause the wet bulb thermometer to read lower than the dry bulb thermometer?
because the water causes the temperature to be lower
Is The wet bulb thermometer reading is always higher than the dry bulb?
No, the wet bulb is always lower. Evaporation from the wet bulb reduces its temperature.
Is the wet bulb thermometer reading always higher than the dry bulb?
No, the wet bulb is always lower. Evaporation from the wet bulb reduces its temperature.

Can a 135 volt bulb replace a 120 volt bulb?
Yes, and the 135V bulb will last longer than the 120V bulb because the filament is thicker.The downside is that the higher voltage bulb will not be quite as bright, and its light may be slightly more yellow in color (the color temperature will be less when run on a lower than design voltage).
Why does your left turn signal flash faster than the right?
Normal cause is failed bulb.
Is there a way to make a digital thermostat read lower than the actual temperature?
No.
Does a 25 watt light bulb draw more current than a 60 watt light bulb?
No, a higher wattage INCANDESCENT light bulb uses more current than a lower wattage INCANDESCENT light bulb. Some CF and LED bulbs are rated by the amount of light that an incandescent bulb would produce, but they are also rated by the wattage that they use.
What would happen if a wet bulb had the same temperature as a dry bulb?
That means that there is 100% humidity. Normally evaporation from the wet bulb keeps its temperature lower than the dry bulb. At 100% humidity, there would be no evaporation, so they would show the same temperature.
Why does a motor have a bigger resistance than a bulb?
There is no particular reason why a motor should have a bigger resistance than a bulb. A motor's resistance must depend on what current it draws at the particular voltage it was designed to run on. Equally, a bulb's resistance must depend on what current it draws at the particular voltage it was designed to run on. A particular motor may have a higher resistance than one kind of bulb but that same motor may have a lower resistance than another kind of bulb.
How come it takes more than one squirrel to screw in a light bulb?
Cause they're super dumb.
Can you use a regular bulb in a heat lamp socket?
Never put a bulb in a light socket what has a higher wattage rating than the socket. This could cause either or both of the following problems, which could result in a fire:excessive current will cause heating of the wires providing power to the socketthe higher wattage bulb will be hotter than expected and may ignite the lampshade or other parts near it
