When did Albert create electricity?

Actually Benjamin Franklin did not invent electricity. (No-one did.) However, he did invent lightning rods and he did suggest experiments to show that there is a connection between lightning and electricity. For more about him you might like to read his page on wikipedia.


How do you get a magnet red hot?

It is simply done like how your light-bulb works. charged particles(negative) attract positive particles and together they heat up. a good book to get more information on is BC Science probe 6.


How do disco lights work?

They have color filters. A red filter, for example, transmits only red light that is emitted from the white light bulb. (White light is a combination of all colors of light) A green disco light has a green screen/filter that only lets through the green light photons form the white light. So, your eyes only see the green or the red wavelengths.


You own a 95 Honda passport and when you use your left turn signal it won't work but your emergency works with the bulb you were told you need a new fuse and if that is where is the fuse box?

If the left turn signal doesn't work but the right one does and you're positive it's not a bad light bulb, it's not the fuse. More likely it's a bad turn signal switch.


Does it use more electricity to occasionally turn on and off a light in frequented rooms?

No power is used in the turning on and off process. If it is on you are using electricy if it's off you are not. It doesn't heat up or cooldown in the sense of a gradual thing. On, off, no inbetween.+

No. Or at least not perceptually. The wires only supply electricity to the bulb - the bulb is what limits the current.


How does a compact fluorescent light bulb work?

A fluorescent light bulb contains a gas which produces UV light when it comes in contact with electricity. Contrary to a normal light bulb this does not create any heat and is far more energy efficient.


What happens when a bulb is attached to a battery?

When a bulb is attached to a battery or a cell as scientists call it, the bulb glows. If you want a bulb to glow more and more brighter, it depends on how many batteries you attached to the bulb. If you attach a lot of batteries at the same time, the bulb might even explode or burn out. The wires that hold the interaction between a light bulb and the battery is electricity. The electricity flows through the wires and touches the bulb and that is how a light bulb glows.


What uses more electricity a lit light bulb or an empty socket of the same rating switched on?

How is the early light bulb changed by the modern light bulb?

The early light bulb used a rather powerful electric current, Did not have a very good vacuum inside it and in some did not use a bulb at all! Today's light bulbs use less electricity and have no oxygen inside them. This makes them more efficient and reliable.


How does light from cfl bulb compare?

Also, this had lead many great minds to use electricity for other machines causing a huge boom in the economy. However this did lead to a downfall in the production of candles and lanterns.


What provides energy to a light bulb?

A light bulb uses electricity as its source of energy.A light bulb to uses electrical energy which is supplied to a resistor that gives off heat as well as light. The resistor is a thin coiled piece of wire made of Tungsten because it has the highest melting point of any metal.For more information see the answer to the Related question shown below.
