What happens when a 60 watt light bulb receives 123 volts?

It should work fine. It will draw slightly less current than if the voltage was 120 volts.


How many amps does a 65 watt light bulb have at 120 volts?

The amps drawn by a 65 watt light bulb should be 65/120 or 0.54167. This fraction of an ampere may be restated as 541.67 milli-amps.


What is the difference between a 60 W and a 100 W light bulb?

60 and 100 watt in series then the 60 watt will have the biggest voltagedrop.In parallel they are the same.Using a voltage of 120 volts, the 60 watt lamp would have 75 volts across it and the 100 watt lamp would have 45 volts across it in a series circuit, bringing the total to 120 volts.


What is watt volts?

Watt volts is not an electrical term. Watts are the product of amps times volts.


What kind of amps does a 65 watt light take?

amps equals watts divided by volts.


What is the resistance of a 40 watt bulb?

On this calculation I am assuming that the light bulb is using a 120 volt source. Watts = Amps x Volts. Amps = Watts/Volts, 40/120 = .33 amps. R = Volts/Amps, 120/.33 = 363.6 ohms resistance in the 40 watt light bulb.


What is the current in anACcircuirt with 12-v0lt And a 60 watt light bulb?

A 60 watt bulb at 12 volts will pull 5 amps of current.


What costs less running a 1000watt light at 240 volts or 1000watt light at 120 volts?

Since the charge is for "watt-hours", if everything is being run per specifications, then the price is the same.


WILL 103 VOLTS LIGHT A 60 WATT LIGHT BULB?

Yes, a 103 volt source will light a 60 watt light bulb. The relationship of the bulb's wattage output at a lower voltage, as to the normal voltage that the bulb is rated to operate on, the light output will be lower.


If i have 1000 watt light on a 200 amp?

You need at least 5 volts to power it? What's the real question?


Who created light bulb watts?

Thomas Edison invented the vacuum sealed filiment light bulb. James Watt coined the term "watt" as the work done by an electrical circuit, which can be calculated as Volts multiplied by Amps.
