Can a light bulb work with static electricity?
No
Can you use static electricity to light a light bulb?
no not easily
How is electricity generated in an action potential?
It causes friction while rubbing up against the cell membrane, lighting the cell up like a light bulb and static electricity is made causing electricity to be formed
Can you power a light bulb with a piece of carpet?
Nope, Carpet will generate Static electricity and a light bulb needs AC or DC current.
What is the difference between static electricity and the electircity in a light bulb?
Static electricity is a build up of positive and negative electrons that get close enough to interact with each other briefly. This leads to you getting a small shock if you say rub your feet in wool socks against carpet and then touch something metal. However the electrical charge in these reactions is very small, and there is no sustained current. The electricity in a light bulb is a continuously flowing current, so long as it's switched on. That heats a filament in the bulb that reacts to the gas in the vacuum of the bulb. The concepts are effectively similar except one part. Static is just a built up charge that is released. While the light bulb is a continuous flow of electricity so long as the light is turned on.
Which was invented first the light bulb or electricity?
electricity because a light bulb needs electricity
How do light a light bulb with a balloon?
If it is just you, the light bulb and the balloon....no. That is just static electricity and is very low voltage and ampheres. If that light bulb is plugged in to a lamp that is plugged into a socket, very possibly yes. That static electricity could be greatly magnified by stray voltage and cause you some serious grief.
Can you light a fluorescent bulb with static electricity?
Yes, you can flash a fluorescent tube with static electricity. Once the static potential difference is equalized the tube will go out. <<>> Static electricity is discharged with a spark in a fraction of a second. Florescent bulbs stay on for long periods of time. Perhaps it could operate a strobe light one time every few minutes. A strobe light does not provide enough light to be useful for anything except photography and dancing at a club!
Can a bulb light if electricity doesn't get to the bulb?
no
How do you make a light bulb in alchemy?
Electricity + Glass = Light bulb
What is the input or output of the light bulb?
Input to light bulb is Electricity and output is light.
What is the source of energy in a light bulb?
Electricity is the source of energy in a light bulb.
