Is it ok to put a 200w bulb in a 100w outlet?

No. The heat from the larger bulb will damage the socket, and is a fire hazard.


Which equation should be used to calculate how much current in amps is required to achieve the full 100 W output from the 9 V bulb?

I = p/v = 100w/9v = 11.11ai = p*v = 100w*9v = 900ai = (p/2)*v = 50w*9v = 450ai = p*2*v = 100w*(9v + 9v) = 8100a


How much electricity use a light bulb -100W- in moment when you TURN ON the light switch?

Less than 0.02 watt/hours. Running your 100w bulb for an hour uses 100 watt/hours. The inrush current during the cold resistance of the bulb lasts for only a millisecond before the bulb is hot. This is insignificant on your electric bill even if you sat and flicked the lightswitch for the whole month, and is a common misconception that someone who didn't know what they were talking about made up.


There are three bulbs of 600W 100W and 200W which bulb has thickest filament?

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


Why would a high watt lamp draw more current than a low watt lamp?

Power is measured in Watts, power (Watts) = E (volts) x I (current - amps) current is determined by the internal resistance (R) of the lightbulb, the lower the resistance the more current will flow. 120v x 0.5a = 60W 120V x 0.83a = 100W the 100W lightbulb will draw more current We also have Ohm's law: E(volts) = I (amps) x R (ohms) Household voltage stays the same at 120v we have for a 100w lamp: 120v = I x R R = 120v/0.83 amps R = 144.6 ohms for a 60w lamp: 120v = I x R R = 120v/0.5 amps R = 240 ohms The higher watt lamp has lower resistance.

What is the current being drawn by a 100W light bulb and what is the resistance of a 100W light bulb?

Assume the rating of 100W refers to operation on a supply of 117 volts.Power = (voltage) x (current)Current = (power) / (voltage) = 100/117 = 0.855 ampere (rounded)Power = (voltage)2 / (resistance)Resistance = (voltage)2 / (power) = (117)2 / 100 = 136.89 ohms

Why cant a generator run off its own electric?

Because when converting from one type of energy to another, something is always lost in the conversion. It's like pouring water between two buckets and always spilling a little. Let's say you're putting 100W of mechanical energy into turning the generator. This maybe gives you 80W of electric energy out from the generator. If you then put those 80W into a motor, you get maybe 60W of mechanical energy out of the motor. For each conversion you lose a bit more.
