What else can I help you with?
Why does resistor burn up?
cause its bad,replace with higher wattage rating.too much current !!
What will it cost less running 460V motor or 208V motor?
No, you are charged by the wattage that you use. Watts are the product of amps times volts. Say you have a device that draws 5000 watts and you are using a voltage of 480 volts then the amperage will be A = W/E = 5000/480 = 10.4 amps. Now using that same wattage at 208 volts the amperage will be A = W/E = 5000/208 = 24 amps. As you can see the only thing that changes is the current (amps) on a consistent wattage with different voltages. One big advantage on using higher voltages over smaller voltages is, with the amps being lower, a smaller wire size can be used for the same wattage load. In the end though, you are still billed on the wattage used.
If you have 2 5-watt bulbs connected in series and then in parallel which circuit arrangement will give you brighter bulbs?
It depends on the voltage rating of each lamp, and the value of the supply voltage. It's important to understand that a lamp will only operate at its rated power (therefore at its full brightness) when subject to its rated voltage.So, let's assume each lamp is rated at, say, 24 V.If connected in parallel across a 24-V supply, then they will both operate of full brightness.If connected in series across the same 24-V supply, then each lamp will be subject to half its rated voltage, and will be very dim.On the other hand, if connected in series across a 48-V supply, then they will each be subject to 24 V, and will both operate at full brightness.
How do you switch the voltage requirement for a cooktop from 208 volts to 110volts?
You don't. The cook top was designed to operate on 208 volts. This is the voltage needed to get the elements up to their rated wattage to do the cooking. Higher wattage appliances do not operate on the lower voltage because of the size of the wire that is needed to feed the appliance.
Why two voltage sources of different voltages cant be connected in parallel and what happened when you connect them?
The higher voltage source forces current backwards into the lower voltage source, which can damage it or even cause it to explode.
What do watt bulbs produce different a mount of heat?
Different wattage bulbs produce different amounts of heat because higher wattage bulbs consume more electrical energy, which is converted into both light and heat. The heat output is directly proportional to the power consumption of the bulb. So, a higher wattage bulb will generate more heat compared to a lower wattage bulb.
What difference in the bulbs causes this difference in the currents?
The difference in currents between the bulbs is primarily caused by variations in resistance. Bulbs with different wattages have different resistances, which affect how much current flows through them when connected to the same voltage source. Higher wattage bulbs typically have lower resistance, allowing more current to flow through them compared to lower wattage bulbs.
Two bulb are connected in parallel one bulb glows brightly and other is dim what do you say about their current?
The bulb that glows brightly likely has a higher current passing through it compared to the dim bulb. This could be due to differences in resistance, voltage, or power ratings of the two bulbs.
Does higher wattage mean a more powerful motor?
Not always. Wattage is a measure of power consumption, not motor power. A more powerful motor may have higher wattage, but efficiency and design also play a role in motor performance.
Can I use a higher wattage bulb in a lamp that states 40 watts?
You should not use a higher wattage bulb in a lamp that says 40 watts. The higher wattage could cause the lamp to catch fire due to the excess heat and could cause you serious electrical problems.
Which lamp consumes more current?
A lamp with a higher wattage rating will consume more current. The higher the wattage, the more electricity the lamp will draw from the power source.
What is the relationship between wattage and heat generation in electronic devices?
The relationship between wattage and heat generation in electronic devices is that higher wattage typically leads to increased heat generation. This is because wattage represents the amount of power being used by the device, and this power is converted into heat as the device operates. Therefore, electronic devices with higher wattage tend to generate more heat compared to devices with lower wattage.
What is the effect if you change your headlight to higher wattage?
brighter headlights
What is wattage of a light bulb?
The wattage of a light bulb indicates how much power it consumes. It is a measure of the bulb's energy usage, with higher wattage bulbs typically producing more light.
Do higher wattage bulbs give a brighter light?
Yes, in general, higher wattage bulbs produce more light than lower wattage bulbs. However, the brightness of the light also depends on other factors such as the type of bulb (incandescent, LED, etc.) and the design of the fixture.
Will a higher wattage hps bulb work in a ballast that came with a lower wattage bulb?
A higher wattage HPS bulb may work with a ballast that is rated for a lower wattage bulb , but may appear to be dim and will not produce the rated light output. It is best to match ballast and bulb accordingly.
How does a light bulb's wattage affect the heat detected above a light?
A higher wattage light bulb will produce more heat, which can result in higher temperatures being detected above the light fixture. Low wattage bulbs will produce less heat, leading to lower temperatures above the light. It's important to consider heat output when selecting light bulbs for specific applications.
