The voltage isn't decided by the lamp, but by the supply the lamp is hooked up to.

When using a 9 volt battery on a closed circuit with 2 light bulbs how many volts are used to light each bulb?

Each light bulb will receive the full 9 volts from the battery in a series circuit, so each bulb will be operating on 9 volts.


How many volts do needed to light a bulb per hour?

You generally need the same number of volts for a given amount of light (lumens), regardless of how many hours you use it. They typically measure the amount of energy used by a bulb in "watts", not volts, and you can find a wide range of wattage ratings from milliwatt LEDs to 1000-watt floodlights and on up.


How do you calculate how many volts are used to light a light bulb?

Normally that would be however many volts your house runs on. The US/Canada standard is 120 volts at 60 hertz, while most of Europe runs on 240 volts at 50 hertz. Keep in mind though there are all types of light bulbs that run on all voltages from 12 to 240. It should say the voltage on the bulb though? but if you live in North America and you are asking about a normal house-type bulb, your quest will most likely end with 120.


How many volts are required to light an electric bulb?

Light bulbs, called lamps, are run on 110 to 120 volts AC when they plug into household wiring. Other lamps use 1.5 volts, 3 volts, 4.5 volts or 6 volts DC when they are running off batteries in flashlights. Car lamps use 12 volts (though the actual car voltage is a bit more). Lamps have ratings that are specified by the manufacturers, and they have a given voltage rating based on their design. There are quite a few different lamps that come in a variety of voltage ratings.


How many volts are in a lemon?

There are no volts in a lemon.Answer:A battery mad with alemon, a copper penny and a zinc clad nailw ill create a voltage of about 0.906 volts. This a function of the metals used not the chaice of the lemon as an acid source.Unfortunately this battery will not produce enough current (flowing electrons) to light a bulb.


Can you use a 130 volt light bulb on a 120 volt supply?

Yes, in fact that is what a rough service bulb is rated at. The bulb used on a 120 volt system will have a reduced wattage output as to what it would be on 130 volts.
