What is the name for a regular light bulb?
incandescent
Does a 25 watt light bulb draw more current than a 60 watt light bulb?
No, a higher wattage INCANDESCENT light bulb uses more current than a lower wattage INCANDESCENT light bulb. Some CF and LED bulbs are rated by the amount of light that an incandescent bulb would produce, but they are also rated by the wattage that they use.
Is the light from an incandescent lamp monochromatic?
No, an incandescent bulb i.e. a bulb that emits light by the generation of heat, emits white light and is therefore not monochromatic. For a source to be monochromatic, the light emitted must be of a single wavelength.
Which bulb lasts longer an incandescent light bulb or a compact fluorescent light bulb?
A regular incandescent bulb uses a lot more energy than a compact fluorescent to produce the same amount of light. Most energy used by an incandescent bulb is wasted as heat which does not give off visible light. Incandescent bulbs are cheaper to buy, but they have shorter lifetimes than other alternatives.
Can you use an incandescent light bulb in a full spectrum lamp?
no
What is the resistor inside a light bulb called?
the wire in your light bulb is a resistor :)
What device uses a resistor to transform electrical energy into light and heat?
Among others, the filament of an incandescent light bulb is a resistor- which gives off heat and light.
How do you built a very simple circuit?
wire a resistor across a battery. that is about as simple as it gets. the resistor could be an incandescent light bulb.
Is it correct to say that a bulb in a circuit is a resistor?
Yes it is. The filament in a standard incandescent bulb is a type of resistor. An incandescent light bulb contains tungsten which reduces electricity and converts electricity to heat and light. All incandescent bulbs are resistors, but only a fraction of resistors are bulbs. If you want to see if a bulb is a resistor, try adding another bulb in series without changing the voltage. Both bulbs will be very dim. Another way to test this is to get a multimeter and set the meter to the resistance setting. If you get any value other than zero, then it is functioning as a resistor.
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.
What is incandescent light bulb?
An incandescent light bulb, incandescent lamp or incandescent light globe is an electric light which produces light with a wire filament heated to a high temperature by an electric current passing through it, until it glows.
Which light bulb produces the most light?
Incandescent
What is the least efficient kind of light bulb?
It is the Incandescent light bulb. Most of the energy are lost as heat
What did Thomas Edison name the light bulb?
He named his invention the Incandescent Lamp, But it's commonly referred to today as the Incandescent Light Bulb.
Who was the light bulb made by?
The incandescent electric light bulb was invented by Thomas A. Edison.
What is the name for a regular light bulb?
incandescent
What type of light is a light bulb that uses a filament?
A light bulb that uses a filament is also known as an incandescent light bulb.
