Over voltaging a bulb will cause extra wear; spurious voltage signals can have similar effects. The "size" of the bulb has to do with how much power it uses at a specific voltage. If the voltage is increased, it will draw more power than designed to handle.

What would cause a headlight to keep burning out on a 1994 Ford Thunderbird?

A potential cause of bulbs burning out in cars is a dirty or corroded bulb socket, or a bad wire connections at the socket.


What is the value of resistor do you use in 2.5volts bulb with use 4 batteries with 1.5volts?

If your batteries were in series the total voltage would be 6 volts, and it the bulbs were in series you would need a resistor to keep them from burning out. In order to know how many ohms the resistor would need to be you would have to know the wattage of the bulbs, or the resistance of the bulbs. If you don't know the best thing to do is use a variable resistor. Then you can adjust it or the brightness that you want.


What would be different about the circuit if a resistor were added in series with the light bulbs?

Why would one high beam light not work even after you have installed a new headlight and bulbs you did not touch the bulbs you have a 2000 Honda Civic?

this is because Honda civics (not very pretty cars) have different fuses, there fore, you would need the same tpe of light bulb but different consistency.


Where can one purchase led replacement bulbs for cars?

Why does the ocean have different temperatures?

different depths of the ocean have different temperatures. For example: the temperature in the deeper part of the ocean would be colder because the sun cannot easily reach it. The temperature near the surface of the ocean would be warmer because the sun can easily reach it.

What is the effect on total resistance of adding this third bulb?

If a fourth bulb were added in a similar way to the three existing bulbs, the resistance in the circuit would go up if the bulbs were series connected, and it would go down if the bulbs were parallel connected.
