How do you make a light bulb work without electricity?
No power is used. The lamp in the light fixture is the load of the circuit. The load resistance is what makes the current flow. When the current flows through the filament's resistance, heat and light are generated. With no lamp in the fixture, the circuit's voltage potential is still at the socket contact points and if touched could cause you a shock. This is a good reason to shut the fixture off at the switch when removing the burnt out bulb and replacing it with a new one.
How do lamps or lanterns work?
Some burn fuels to generate light and others use electricity to generate light.
If the filament of the bulb is broken would the circuit be complete?
If the bulb's filament is broken, the whole circuit becomes open. If the bulb is in a series circuit or is the only bulb, the electricity would no longer flow. If the bulb is in a parallel circuit, along with other bulbs, then only the blown bulb would go out, and the other bulbs would still work.
What electrical power do light bulbs use?
It doesn't 'USE' any; that is, you don't have to provide any electromagnetic waves in order for a light bulb to do its job.In the course of doing its job, the light bulb PRODUCES light and heat waves.A fluorescent light also produces radio waves.
The light for the gear shift on the console does not work on a 2002 Toyota Camry?
If the light for the gear shift on the console does not work on a 2002 Toyota Camry, it is probably a burned out bulb. The console will need to come off to access the bulb to change it. This part is held onto the console area by screws.
How do light a light bulb with a balloon?
If it is just you, the light bulb and the balloon....no. That is just static electricity and is very low voltage and ampheres. If that light bulb is plugged in to a lamp that is plugged into a socket, very possibly yes. That static electricity could be greatly magnified by stray voltage and cause you some serious grief.
How is a toaster and a light bulb alike?
They both need electricity to work.
How does a battery powered light work?
The battery chemically stores electricity so when you 'switch on' the light then electricity flows from the battery to the bulb. The bulb the heats up to glow white and the reflector shines the light out of the battery powered light
How do light bulbs do work?
the wire travels to the bulb and this metal needle that the electricity hits it and it gives off light.
How does a compact fluorescent light bulb work?
A fluorescent light bulb contains a gas which produces UV light when it comes in contact with electricity. Contrary to a normal light bulb this does not create any heat and is far more energy efficient.
When was the light bulb first used in homes?
The first light bulb was invented around the 1850's or so when Benjamin Franklin discovered how electricity worked. His work was continued with light bulbs.
How does a florescent bulb work?
Florescent Bulbs are full of gases that create light when electricity is put threw them.
What circuits are closed paths that will allow electricity to travel in a loop and make a light bulb work?
a switch
How does the electrostatic generator work?
The electric static generator is a device that produces static electricity, or electricity at high voltage
Can you light a light bulb with static electricity?
Incandescent light bulbs need high current at low voltage. "Static" electricity is low or zero current at extremely high voltage. So no, you can't use it to light up an incandescent bulb. If you had some way to step the current up and step down the voltage, then maybe you could do it. However, if you rub a fluorescent tube with newspaper or with cloth, the tube will flash. Fluorescent tubes need high voltage to work. Perform this trick in a darkened room so you don't miss the dim light. (This trick needs a dry environment. So do it in an airconditioned room. During humid weather it may not work!) Also, you can use "static" or high-voltage electricity to light up a small neon pilot bulb. Some hardware or electronic stores sell these lights. Look for tiny "NE-2" or "NE-83" bulbs. If you hold one wire of the neon bulb, then scuff your shoes on the carpet, then touch the other wire against a large metal object, the bulb will give an orange flash. Instead of creating a spark, you created an orange glow in neon gas.
What condition does static electricity work best?
humid
Hor are LEDs similar to incandescent light bulb?
They emit light and the use electricity. Apart from that, they have little in common, the way they work is completely different.
