All a.c. voltages and currents are expressed in root-mean-square (rms) values. An rms voltage of 220 V is exactly equivalent to a d.c. voltage of 220 V. So the lamp will function quite normally at either voltage.
220V
To rewire a 220V lamp for 120V, you will need to replace the existing 220V bulb with a 120V bulb that is compatible with the lamp's socket. Next, you will need to install a 120V compatible power cord that matches the voltage requirements of the lamp. It's important to refer to the lamp's manual or consult with a professional electrician to ensure the rewiring is done correctly and safely.
why does the lamp bright when it is connected to the AC supply
Neutral will be closest to protective earth ground. In the US, neutral is white. we can check using tester ,when tester is connected to phase only lamp of the tester glows and when it is connected to the nuetral the lamp does not glow. another method is, connect the voltmeter to any one of the terminal and ground if the voltmeter shows 110v 0r 220v then it is phase and the other is nuetral.
A: The current is not a function of voltage available but rather the power needed to light the lamp. To answer your question a 100 watts lamp will require 1.83 times more current for a lamp rated as 100 watts at 120 volts.It is a basic ratio 220:120AnswerI disagree with the previous answer. The power rating of a lamp only applies when the lamp is subject to its rated voltage -which is why both values are shown on the lamp (e.g. 60 W / 120 V).So, if you subject a lamp to less than its rated voltage, it will not achieve its rated power. In fact, the decrease in power will be significantly greater than the corresponding decease in voltage. It will certainly not 'compensate' by drawing more current!However, to directly answer your question, the current drawn by a lamp connected to a 220-V supply will indeed be greater than the current drawn by the same lamp connected to a 110-V supply.
Yes, but you will get a higher wattage output than 800 watts, this means that the lamp will glow brighter. This connection will also shorten the life of the lamp because of the higher voltage. When you state "plug", it suggests that the connection will not be made if the plug can not fit into the receptacle.
Yes, you'd have to change the plug or use an adapter, and also change the bulb. Thry make the standard "medium base" A19 bulbs in 220v also. here's a few: http://www.bulbs.com/Light_Bulbs/Medium_(E26)/200V+-/results.aspx
In a series circuit, the total resistance is the sum of the individual resistances. So, the total resistance of the 3.0 lamp and 6.0 lamp connected in series would be 3.0 + 6.0 = 9.0 ohms.
The purpose of a lamp chain is to control the on/off function of a lamp. It is typically connected to the lamp socket and allows the user to easily turn the lamp on or off by pulling or pushing the chain. The chain is connected to a switch mechanism inside the lamp that completes or interrupts the electrical circuit, controlling the flow of electricity to the light bulb.
When two light bulbs are connected in series , there is voltage drop which causes the second lamp to dimAnswerWhen two lamps are connected in series, neither lamp will be subject to its rated voltage and, so, each lamp will be dim. Surprisingly, perhaps, the lamp with the higher power will be dimmer than the lamp with the lower power!
According to a YouTube video, one attaches a lamp base to a lamp by checking if the shaft is connected to the smaller base, then attaching that base to the larger base of a lamp.
If an insulator with a lamp is connected in an electrical circuit and the switch is turned on, the lamp will not light up. Insulators do not allow the flow of electric current, so the circuit will not be completed, and no electricity will reach the lamp to cause it to light up.
