The choke works in conjunction with a starter . When you turn on the light , voltage is applied to the choke, and when the switch opens after a few seconds, it creates a high voltage across the contacts at each end of the tube. This starts the ionization of the gas , which glows. Once ionized, it continues producing light even when the voltage applied is only 120 VAC, the power line voltage.

Working of choke in tubelight?

The choke works as an inductor(filter) induced 850V to 1100V in starting,by strarter make and break of the circuit. After glowing the tube light choke work as inductance and provide 110v to circuit, here the function of starter comes. It helps the chocke to brek from the circuit and to 110v from 850V.thankining U "Nikki"


Is tube light run without choke?

No it will not. If you need increase the supply voltage and remove the choke.

Can T8 LED tube light be used with ballast and can ballast be removed and will it work?

A T8 LED tube has to be used with a ballast to bring the correct voltage to the tube for it to operate correctly. Removing the ballast from the circuit will prevent the tube from operating.

How does 4 tube fluorescent work?

A 4-tube fluorescent light contains four fluorescent tubes connected to a ballast that regulates the electrical current flowing through the tubes. When the light switch is turned on, the ballast sends high voltage to the tubes to ionize the gas inside. This ionization process produces ultraviolet light, which then interacts with the phosphor coating inside each tube to produce visible light.


What would b the effect on the circuit should the starter be taken out after the lamp is started?

Once started the fluorescent tube no longer needs the starter. In fact starters are designed to electrically "remove" themselves from the circuit when the fluorescent tube is conducting.


If a light bulb is missing in a series circuit will the bulb light?

If one light bulb in a series circuit fails, all the other light bulbs will go out, until the failed bulb is replaced and the series circuit is completed again.If one light bulb in a parallel circuit fails, all the other light bulbs will still work.


What does the work in an electric circuit?

The work in an electric circuit is done by the flow of electric charge, typically achieved by the movement of electrons through a conductor. Work is done when a voltage is applied to the circuit, causing the electrons to move and transfer energy to the components in the circuit like light bulbs or motors.


What happens when a light bulb is broken in a series circuit?

In a series circuit, when a light bulb is broken, it creates an open circuit which stops the flow of current throughout the circuit. As a result, all the other light bulbs in the circuit will also stop working because they are all connected in a series.


How do light swithes turn on?

Basically, when you click that switch, it completes a circuit for the electricity to flow. If the circuit is not completed in any part, the circuit will not work at all
