Why will the volts light come on when the car is stopped and idling but goes out once you are moving?

This is a sign of a weak alternator or possibly a loose belt. At idle your car is running at a low RPM. The alternator is driven by the engine so it is also running at a lower RPM. When the vehicle is accelerated the engine RPMs go up. This in turn drives the alternator faster, and it is able to produce a higher voltage.r

How many amps are required for 100W light bulb operate on 110 volts?
amps equals watts divided by volts.
What kind of amps does a 65 watt light take?
amps equals watts divided by volts.
What is the maximum voltage of incandescent light bulbs?
The maximum voltage of incandescent light bulbs is up to about three hundred volts. They can also go down as low as 1.5 volts. Incandescent light bulbs are the least efficient lighting system. More modern methods like flourescent lightbulbs are far more efficient.
How many amps are needed to run a light bulb?
If you divide the watts of the bulb by the supply voltage, that is the current. For example a 60 w bulb on a 240 v supply gives a current of 60/240 which is ¼ amp.
How many volts should a battery read on a 1995 corvette?
12 volts with the engine off. 13.5 to 15-5 volts with the engine idling.
How many volts are in a light?
There are no volts in a light. A light consumes power.
What should the voltage be checking battery with car running?
13.5 to 15.5 volts with the engine idling.
What does it mean with the volt light comes on?
Your alternator has either stopped working or is putting out less than 14 volts, therefore not enough charge is getting to your battery.

Slipping alternator belt Loose connection Bad alternator Computer problem
If a light bulb is connected between 2 wires and both wires have 300 volts of electrical energy is the light bulb lit?
A light bulb connected between to wires, each having 300 volts to ground that are in phase, will not light, because there is no differential voltage available to do any work. If each wire has 300 volts to ground and are out of phase (600 volts between them) the light bulb will be lit, if it is rated at least for 600 volts, otherwise it will burn out.
Voltages in cars and light commercial vehicles?
Gas is 12 volts and diesel is 24 volts
