The function of a choke in a lamp circuit is to produce high voltage. In tubelights, the high voltage is essential for ionisation of the gas which is present in tubelights.

The function of any ballast in a lighting fixture is to raise the voltage high enough to strike an arc through the bulb or tube.


Working of choke in tubelight?

The choke works as an inductor(filter) induced 850V to 1100V in starting,by strarter make and break of the circuit. After glowing the tube light choke work as inductance and provide 110v to circuit, here the function of starter comes. It helps the chocke to brek from the circuit and to 110v from 850V.thankining U "Nikki"


A choke coil placed in series with an electric lamp in an ac circuit causes the lamp to become dim why is it so?

The light is getting dim because the choke is using the energy the lamp should be using. The purpose of the choke is to remove transients; if it is using power at 50 or 60Hz, this is not desirable. My guess is this lamp is using a new energy efficient (not incandescent) light bulb? If this is the case, don't. If this is a choke you added to the lamp, then perhaps it's the wrong type choke (too large inductance). If you added this, it could be that you inadvertently inserted resistance in the lamp wire. Check to make sure nothing is getting hot around your new wiring. A bad solder point could cause this to some degree.

What is the purpose of a lamp chain and how does it function in the overall operation of a lamp?

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.


What is the functioning of choke coil?

A choke coil is used in several electrical devices. The function it has is to block AC currents from passing through as it allows DC currents to pass through.


What type of circuit is it where removing one lamp leaves the other on?

It is a series circuit. In a series circuit, the components are connected in a single path so if one lamp is removed, the circuit is broken and the other lamp will not receive electricity.


What is the function of a choke in a fluorescent lamp?

The inductance primarily serves to limit current flow to the correct level for the tube. It also can be used during startup to provide an inductive 'kick' forming a higher-voltage pulse to start the lamp.


When you turn on a lamp are you opening or closing a circuit?

When you turn on a lamp, you are closing the circuit. This allows electricity to flow from the power source, through the lamp, and back to the power source, enabling the lamp to light up.
