Read the label on the container. The light bulb will be rated "B-10" life. This refers to a statistical number value. "B-10" Life is the average life span a bulb will last for 90% of those tested. If you went purely by the "average" time to burn out, then that is not specific. One brand of light bulbs can have a higher Average. But if it has a lot of scatter in the data, then that would mean some bulbs could fail much earlier and some much later. On the other hand, if you determine a bulb has a X hour "average" life with a minium scatter factor, then more of the bulbs will perform closer to the average. Read the label on the box.

The problems of electricity two light bulbs of 100 watt and one 60 watt both operation in a 220V circuit. Which bulb has the higher resistance and which bulb carries the greater current?

A 100 watt 220 volt light bulb (or anything consuming 100 watts on 220 volts) draws 100/220, or .45 Amps. It will also have about 220²/100, or 484 ohms resistance. A 60 watt 220 volt light bulb (or anything consuming 60 watts on 220 volts) draws 60/220, or .27 Amps. It will also have about 220²/60, or 807 ohms resistance.


There is a 100 watt light left on for 30 days and uses 72 kilowatt-hours suppose thecost of this electricity is 5.76 how much electricity does a 100 watt light bulb use in one week what's the cost?

Check with your electric company. If you switch to 100 W fluorescent bulbs they are only about 14 watts usage. Those are the new energy efficient bulbs. You still get 100 W, but less wattage used. Therefore you bill should be reduced by some. You won't see it right away, it's over the long haul. I have switched most of my lighting (except one lamp and my kitchen) to those bulbs. They last a long long time. I will be switching my kitchen to a new fixture so I will use the 100W energy efficient bulb and get just as much light as 100 incandescent bulb. I'll put 4 in and get 400 W for 56 watts charged. < > < > 5.76/30 days = .192 cents per 24 hour period. .192 x 7 days = 1.344 dollars a week


Are halogen bulbs more energy efficient than traditional incandescent bulbs?

Well, if they're both 40 watt bulbs they use the same amount of electricity. But incandescent bulbs produce a lot of heat as well as light. Fluorescent bulbs don't produce (much) heat, so they can use their power to produce light. So you can use fluorescent bulbs of lower wattage to produce the same amount of light.So for the same amount of light, fluorescent bulbs use less electricity than incandescent bulbs.


How many kilowatt do 100 watt bulbs use?

That depends both on the light bulb's power rating, and how long you want to light it! Use the formula: energy = power x time If the power is in watts and the time in seconds, then the energy will be in joules (= watt-seconds). Alternately, if the power is given in watts, you can divide by 1000 to convert to kilowatts. Then, if you multiply by hours, you get kilowatt-hours. Note that the unit used by utility companies tp charge you is kilowatt-hours.


Will 1 amp deliver 100 amps in 100 hours?

No. One amp is one amp. It does not matter how long you supply that current. You could say that one amp for 100 hours is 360,000 coulombs, but that is not a useful piece of information.Now, if you want to talk about energy, that is a different story, but you need to talk about watts, not amps.One amp is one coulomb per second.One volt is one joule per coulomb.One watt is one joule per second, which is why watts is amps times volts.One watt for 100 hours is 100 watt-hours, or 360,000 joules. Joules is energy. That is useful information.

What it is the difference between 100 watts and 75 watt light bulb?

The main difference between a 100-watt and a 75-watt light bulb is the amount of light output they produce. A 100-watt bulb will be brighter and consume more energy compared to a 75-watt bulb. The 100-watt bulb may also generate more heat than the 75-watt bulb.


What is the rhyming word for a 100-watt bulb?

bright light


Does a 100 watt bulb produce more heat than a 25 watt light bulb?

Yes, a 100 watt bulb produces more heat than a 25 watt bulb because the higher the wattage, the more energy is being converted into heat. In this case, the 100 watt bulb will generate more heat compared to the 25 watt bulb.

Where do you find a watt?

A watt is a measurement of electricity, usually pertaining to light. Light bulbs luminosity is graded by wattage, such as a 60 watt bulb, 100 watt bulb and so on. You would find a watt in a light bulb, to start.


What is the brightness level of a 25 watt LED equivalent bulb compared to a traditional incandescent bulb?

A 25 watt LED equivalent bulb is about the same brightness as a 100 watt traditional incandescent bulb.


What percentage is a 100 watt light bulb brighter than a 60 watt light bulb?

A 100 watt light bulb is 66.7% brighter than a 60 watt light bulb. This can be calculated by taking the difference between the two wattages (40 watts) divided by the original wattage (60 watts) and then multiplied by 100.


How much more money will it cost if you use 100 watt bulb then a 60 watt bulb?

Almost twice as much as 100 is almost twice 60.
