Which is more powerful a torch bulb or a mains filament lamp?
Mains filament
What type of light contains a filament?
All kinds of incandescent lamp, and all types of light bulb contains filament. But there are several kinds of filament applied each type of light bulb.
What is filament transformer?
In vacuum tube devices, one electrode of the tube (the filament) needs low voltage at relatively high current, while another one (the plate) needs a high voltage at relatively low current. It's hard to build a single power supply to provide both of these, so the filament is usually supplied from its own separate transformer. Nobody has worried about things like this since a short time after transistors came along.
What is the wire that gives off light in a light bulb?
In an incandescent light bulb the wire that gives off the light is called the Filament.
When the bulb is the resistance what this tells about the resistance?
An incandescent bulb has a filament that has a resistance. The value of the resistance determines the current that will flow for a given supply voltage. The heat generated by the current flowing through the filament gives off light. As the resistance of the filament decreases the current increases and you get more light.
1996 Cavalier Chevrolet no Hi beam light and no DRL lights?
Hi beam lights only the High brightness filament of the headlight.Lo beam lights only the Low brightness filament of the headlight.DRL lights only the High brightness filament of the headlight, but at reduced current.Do you see the pattern?
Which filament is for brake lights on 2002 Chevy Express 2500?
The standard 1157 or similar two filament bulbs contain an upper (small diameter) filament for the parking lights and a lower (larger diameter) filament for the brake and flasher applications. The new LEDS operate from one diode.
What type of light glow when the filament get hot?
incandescent lights
What material is used to make the filament in most halogens lights?
tungsten
How does a light bulb light?
light bulbs have metal contacts that connect to an electrical circuit and a filament. power lights up the filament in the bulb .
Can a bad bulb cause all brake lights in a 98 ford ranger to fail?
It can if it is a dual filament bulb as found on most US. makes. The brake light filament can short over to the tail light filament inside the bulb and when the brakes light is activated, all the tail lights and front marker lights will light also, probably blowing fuses.
Are the bright lights and the dimmer lights on a 2004 Toyota Highlander in the same bulb?
Yes, they are known as dual-filament bulbs.
Why do light bulbs burnout?
For incandescent lights, they operate with a superheated filament. The filament slowly burns away and eventually breaks, opening the electrical circuit.
What element is inside lights?
For Light bulbs:The filament is made of tungsten. There is a inert gas used around the filament which is usually argon, neon, or nitrogen.
Why do the car lights turns on but the car don't?
They light up because of the filament in the light
Can electricity still pass through a bulb which has fused?
If the bulb lights up then electricity is passing through the bulb. If the bulb doesn't light up then electricity is not passing through.
Why the filament in a bulb lights up?
because filaments are generally good conductors of heat , so the filament burns first and then gets heated up and then gives light.
