What is the space around a charged object where electric forces act?
circuit
What type of energy transformation occurs when a light bulb is turned on?
Electrical energy is transformed into heat and light. More specifically, electrical energy from the household wiring is turned into thermal energy (heat) by the filament which in turn becomes luminous energy (light). Some energy is lost due to resistance in the conductors.
Can light behave as a particle or as a wave?
It can act as both
What is meant by tank circuit in hartley oscillator?
it is the circuit that is responsible for producing oscillation.In hartley it is two inductors connected in series and a capacitor parallel to this series connection.Without tank oscillator tends to act as as an amplifier.
How do light rays act when they pass through concave lens?
They spread out.
What is the job of a bulb in a circuit?
The job of the bulb in a circuit is to convert electrical energy to light. It's called the load in the circuit.
What was George Washington's role in the judiciary act of 1789?
He invented the light bulb
Why can a light bulb act like a fuse?
A lamp must never be used as a fuse. But if you are asking why lamps sometimes burn out, rather like fuses do, then the reason is because if a voltage greater than its rated voltage appears across its element, its temperature may significantly exceed its design temperature, and the filament will melt.
What does circuits mean?
"Circuit" means an act or an instance of going or moving around.Any answer will depend on what you actually mean: if it's about racing then a circuit is a track or a one lap around a track.There are lots of other meanings for "circuit" in sciences such as physics - e.g. in electricity - and medicine, e.g. heart-lung blood circulation, etc.
What type of energy is turning on a light?
The light bulb uses electrical energy, and produces light, as well as waste heat. The act of turning it on in itself uses a small amount of energy stored in your muscles.
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.
Can light blub act as sun and make flower?
If you use fluorescent lighting you will receive flowers on your plants. A regular light bulb will not do the trick. Buy a cheap shop light fixture and put in two long tubes one cool and one warm. Yes- artificial light can be used to grow plants, including flowers. A light bulb may not make enough light. Search for grow light or plant light.
Why does a light bulb filament act as resistor?
The filament of a light bulb isn't like a resistor ... it is a resistor. The only difference from the ones on circuit boards is the it's designed to operate at a much higher temperature. So hot that it glows. The glass envelope is there to prevent oxygen from getting in and promptly burning it. When the filament becomes too hot it breaks breaking the current that was lighting it in the first place. That is why the light bulb "burns" out.
What could you check if your drivers side brake light works when headlights are off but not when on?
The ground for the brake lamp. When the tail lights are off, the tail light circuit can act as a ground for the brake light. When the tail lights are on, it can't.
Why are push button always connected in parallel in most circuits?
If they were in series in the circuit, they would act as on/off switches.
Will the light from a wide light source act like light from a small light source or light from a large light source?
Light from a small light bulb behaves in the same way light from a bigger light bulb. When you say wide, I assume you mean to ask about light from torches. Light travels in straight lines. If light hits a surface, it will be absorbed or reflected, there are no exceptions. So if light is emitted from a 'wide' source, it will be able to travel to a larger area, lighting up more, but at a lower concentration. If the same amount of light is emitted from a large or small source in the form of a beam, the same applies. The smaller the beam, the more concentrated the light.
Did the US Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit rule on the constitutionality of the Defense of Marriage Act?
No, the 3d Circuit has not ruled on it.
