It means that the power consumption of the bulb is 40 watts.


How many watts do you get from a square meter of solar panels?

The amount of power you get depends on a number of factors, including the efficiency of the solar panels. Ideally, the energy of sunlight would be about 1366 watts per square meter, but losses do to such things as the atmosphere reduce this to a practical limit of about 1000 watts. If a solar panel of one meter is 10% efficient, then this means you would get about 100 watts. New technologies are achieving efficiencies approaching 50%, which would produce 500 watts; but some older panels were only 6% efficient. Since you ask about watts, I am assuming you mean photovoltaic panels. Solar thermal collectors are more efficient, but do not produce electricity.


How many watts could a solar panel generate in one day?

The watt is a rate of delivery or use of energy (1 Joule per second) Anything called watts per day means an increase in power per day. (100 watts first day, 200 watts second day, 300 watts third day etc). I'm sure you don't mean that. Direct ("normal" ) sunlight that falls on a square metre is up to about 100 Watts so you'll never get more power from that even with 100% efficiency. Consult the brochures. Probably a few tens of watts per square meter. Energy per day is watts x time-of-sunlight (direct, near 90 degrees). Which will be Joules. 3600x1000 Joules equal 1 Kilowatt-hour, sometimes called "1 unit".

Can you use a 5V adapter on your 1800 watt hair dryer?

did you mean 5 amp ? if so the answer is no , as watts = volts x amps . so this means that 230 x 5 = 1150 watts is the max you can use


How many amps does a hair dryer use with 25 volts 60 hz and 1500 watts?

Amps = Watts / (Volts x Power Factor). Now a hair dryer has a motor and a resistive heater so if we assume a PF = .8 the answer is: 1500 / 20 = 75 amps. Since it is unlikely that you have a 75 amp hair dryer you must mean 125 volts. The answer for that would be 1500 / 100 = 15 amps which is still high, but believable. If we assume a Power Factor of 1 and ignore the motor contribution to Power Factor we have 1500 / 125 = 12 amps.


Do you break off your hair if you air dry your hair after washing it?

If your hair is breaking off and your are not using a hair dryer, then you have to condition your hair. There are many brands of conditioner on the market and you should try one. If you mean you are using a dryer, then you might be holding the dryer too close to your hair and burning it. If a conditioner doesnt seem to work, you might want to see your doctor to see if there is an underlying cause for this dryness.


How many watts does a regular clothes dryer use?

They usually dont have any, watts is a measurement of power that the machine requires to run. now if you mean how many wats does a washing machine require to run it varies on the manufacturer and it can usually be found on a sticker on the back of the machine.


How many amps does a 1875 watt hair dryer takes?

11 amps Volts X Amps = Watts so if your dryer is plugged into a 120V circuit (common in U.S.) you would divide: 1875 Watts / 120 Volts = 15.6 Amps


How do you get poofy hair?

If you mean volume, take your hair dryer and turn your head upside down and blow dry your hair. It works best with a cool setting. You can also tease your hair or use volumizing shampoo and serums to help.
