Could a D cell light a 150 watt light bulb?
A typical voltage of 120 VAC for a 150 watt bulb it draws about 1.25 amps. That means the filament of the bulb has a resistance of 120 / 1.25 = 96 ohms. If you put 96 ohms across a D-cell the current would be 1.5 / 96 = 15.6 milliamps. Since we know that a bulb designed to work at 120 VAC requires 1.25 amps then the 15.6 milliamps wouldn't be enough to light the bulb.

How many cells does a flash light bulb have?
A flashlight bulb typically has one cell, which is a single unit that provides power to the bulb. The cell can be a battery or a rechargeable battery, depending on the type of flashlight.
Is a light bulb a source of an electric current?
No. The term SOURCE means that it is a supply of electrical energy, and a light bulb does not supply electricity, it uses it. A battery, generator, fuel cell, or solar cell would be a source.
Why does the light from a bulb connected to a simple cell dim and evengeventually goes off after a while?
The light from a bulb connected to a simple cell dims and eventually goes off due to the depletion of the chemical energy within the cell. As the cell operates, the chemical reactions that produce electricity gradually consume the materials inside the cell, reducing the voltage and current supplied to the bulb. This results in decreased brightness until the energy is completely depleted, causing the light to go out.
Why does your Maglite flashlight blow the light bulb as soon as you turn it on?
If you have recently purchased light bulbs for your light, it is probably because you have bought the wrong voltage bulb. There are several different types of MagLites and each one must match the voltage of the batteries to the voltage of the bulb. For example: If you bought a 3v bulb (2-cell) and put it in a 4-C Maglite, you'll blow the bulb (4 batteries x 1.5v = 6v total) There are two types of brand-name bulbs for incandescent (non-LED) Maglites. The original OEM bulb was a Krypton bulb and the newer, brighter bulbs are Xenon. They are available for all two through six cell C and D size Maglite flashlights. Krypton bulbs LWSA201 - 2-Cell Krypton LWSA301 - 3-Cell Krypton LWSA401 - 4-Cell Krypton LWSA501 - 5-Cell Krypton LWSA601 - 6-Cell Krypton Xenon bulbs LMSA201 - 2-Cell Xenon LMSA301 - 3-Cell Xenon LMSA401 - 4-Cell Xenon LMSA501 - 5-Cell Xenon LMSA601 - 6-Cell Xenon See the "Related Links" for examples of each
Why does a bulb not light if it is connected only to the positive point of the cell although electricity has passed through the filament?
This is because electric current needs a complete circuit or path to flow through so the current will not have anywhere to go from the negative end of the cell in the scenario that you described.
What inventions did people use before the cell phone was invented?
inventions? light bulb
How does a dry cell make a lightbulb light?
When electric current flows through filament of the bulb, the electrons are squased among themselves due to the thin structure of the bulb. This causes them to emit light. Due to the gases filled in the light bulb, the bulb glows.
Which makes the conducting link between the cell and the bulb in the torch?
The conducting link between the cell and the bulb in a torch is the wires inside the circuit. When the switch is turned on, the circuit is completed, allowing the electrical current to flow from the cell through the wires and to the bulb, causing it to light up.
Why doesn't a bulb light up until you press the switch?
A switch completes the circuit, allowing electricity to pass from the cell (battery) to the bulb.
