What makes electrolytes power a light bulb?

Electrolytes facilitate the flow of electrons in a circuit, allowing them to power a light bulb. When the electrolytes are placed in a solution and connected to a power source, they enable the movement of charged particles (ions) which generates electricity and powers the light bulb. This flow of charged particles creates an electric current that illuminates the bulb.


Why should the bulb of the thermometer not touch the sides and bottom of the container when the temperature of the substance in it is to be taken?

The container may not be the same temperature as the solution (especially if the container is not a very good heat conductor). Thus, having the bulb of the thermometer touch the container may give an inaccurate reading.


How is sand glass made and what are the steps involved in the process?

Sand glass, also known as hourglass, is made by combining two glass bulbs connected by a narrow neck with sand flowing between them. The process involves melting glass into bulb shapes, connecting them with the neck, and filling one bulb with sand. The sand flows through the neck at a controlled rate, measuring time as it moves from one bulb to the other.


Why are mains better to use than batteries?

Mains electricity is typically more reliable and provides a constant power source compared to batteries, which can run out of charge. Using mains electricity can also be more cost-effective and environmentally friendly in the long run, as it avoids the need for constantly replacing disposable batteries. Additionally, devices powered by mains electricity can often deliver more consistent performance than those relying on batteries.


Is a light bulb a compound?

What is the function of bulb in frequency of ac mains by electrically vibrating rod?

The bulb in the frequency of AC mains by electrically vibrating rod acts as a visual indicator of the frequency of the vibrations produced by the rod. As the rod vibrates at the frequency of the AC mains, the bulb will flicker or light up in synchronization with the vibrations, providing a way to visually observe the frequency.


How many amperes does a standard 60 watt light bulb use?

Watts = Volts X Amps. Amps=Watt / Volts. So, with a 240V mains, a 60W bulb draws 0.25amps. On a 12 system (car/auto) a 60W bulb draws 5 amps. On a 110V mains, a 60W bulb draws .55 Amps.


Which bulb will glow at first when 3 bulbs are connected in series and switch is connected after 1 bulb?

The bulb that will glow first when 3 bulbs are connected in series and the switch is connected after 1 bulb is the second bulb in the series. The current flows through all the bulbs in a series circuit, but the second bulb experiences the full potential difference first as it is connected directly to the source.

Can you use a 300 watt 220-240 watts halogen bulb on 240 watt mains?

Nobody has "240 watt mains". Perhaps you meant "240-volt mains".You would need to have a lighting or receptacle branch circuit, with over-current protection, in order to use any halogen bulb.However, if you have a 300 W bulb, it should work nicely in a 15-A or 20-A branch circuit.
