Fluorescent fixtures can be used with a variety of voltages.
The fluorescence is experimentally identified.You need an ultraviolet lamp to irradiate the mineral sample.
The lamp needs to be rated for the voltage applied to it. The fixture in which the lamp is installed also needs to be rated for the voltage. So, it is not a matter of changing the lamp, it is a matter of having the fixture and lamp that are properly rated for the voltage that you are applying to it.
The operating voltage of a mercury lamp typically ranges from 100 to 300 volts, depending on the specific type and size of the lamp.
Yes. If the plug (cap) end of the 250 volt lamp is compatible to the receptacle the lamp would work. The light output of the lamp would not be very bright. Because the working voltage is halved so would the light output.
because it does!
A lamp will only operate at its rated power if it is subjected to its rated voltage. Increase that voltage will increase the power of the lamp -in other words, it will operate more brightly. This is how 'photoflood' lamps operate -they are deliberately designed to operate at overvoltage. Of course, this reduces the life of the lamp.
6 Volts.
The voltage is greater than the applied voltage, why?
Because the filament of a 25-W lamp has a higher resistance than that of a 60-W lamp and, therefore, will experience a greater voltage drop -the lamp with the voltage drop closer to its rated voltage (in this case, the 25-W lamp) will be the brighter.
A lamp can be run by power from a telephone line.
No, you cannot directly use a 230 V 50 Hz lamp in Canada, as the standard voltage is 120 V and the frequency is 60 Hz. Using the lamp without a proper voltage converter could damage the lamp or create safety hazards. If you want to use the lamp in Canada, you'll need a step-down transformer to convert 120 V to 230 V, and you should also check if the lamp is compatible with 60 Hz.
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.
