Best Answer

well if the potential difference (voltage) that i apllied across the light bulb is exacty 2.5v (as it can vary due to the interal resistance of th batteris used) then you can use Resistance=Voltage/current (R=V/I) to calculatete resistance. Therefore since 500mA is equivlant to 0.5A R=2.5/0.5=5 ohms.

hopeully that is helpfull

Why does your dimmer switch burn out when one of your bulbs blow?

Dimmers are rated to handle upto x amount of watts (x can vary) When one of your bulbs blows if the amount of watts used by the bulb during its blowout exceeds the amount of watts your dimmer is rated for it is possible the dimmer burns out. While this may be theoretically true, when the dimmer is rated for 600 watts and a 50-watt bulb blows and so, the dimmer, this doesn't explain why. No bulb blows out at, say 500 watts. Any other answers? Feel free to wipe out mine and the one above if you know the real answer.


What is the incandescent equivalent of a 40 Watt halogen bulb?

A halogen bulb IS ITSELF a type of incandescent illumination source. A 40 Watt traditional incandescent bulb usually emits about 400 to 500 lumens while a halogen may emit close to twice that. So a 25 W halogen might give out as much light as ah older style 40 W bulb.
