If you are talking about batteries of different physical sizes but of the same voltage then the answer is yes. The light bulb requires a specific voltage to operate. As long as the batteries add up to the voltage that the bulb requires, the lamp will light properly. Larger batteries usually have a greater operational capacity. The load being of equal amperage draw, the D cell load will operate longer than a AAA cell load.

Can an apple power a light bulb?

No, an apple does not contain enough energy to power a light bulb. A light bulb requires electricity to produce light, which usually comes from a power source such as batteries, generators, or electrical outlets. The energy stored in an apple is not enough to produce the amount of electricity needed to power a light bulb.


Why does foil give power to batteries to light a light bulb?

Aluminum foil does not give power to batteries to light a light bulb. The common batteries that we use in flashlights and portable electrical/electronic devices, like the "D" cells, "C" cells, "AA" and "AAA" cells, are made with a zinc can. This zinc outer container for the battery has two jobs. It acts as a housing to contain the electrolyte, and reacts with the electrolyte to create voltage. There isn't any aluminum involved. The actual chemical reactions involved in the generation of voltage in the zinc-carbon or zinc-manganese (the "alkaline") cell can by found by surfing the link to our friends at Wikipedia. They're down with all this. And you can be to.


Can you substitute a regular light bulb for a krypton light bulb?

Generally, yes. It will all depend on the voltage and the current capabilities of the supply. Mostly in torches (flashlights), you can. Using a krypton bulb wil be brighter but draw more current, reducing the life of the batteries.


How do you prove that it is the wattage and not the physical size of a light bulb that matters for energy use?

You can prove it by using an energy monitor that measures the actual energy consumption of the light bulb. The wattage directly correlates to the amount of energy used by the bulb, regardless of its physical size. A higher wattage bulb will consume more energy than a lower wattage bulb, even if they are of the same physical size.


How is laser light different from a light in a light bulb?

Laser light is different from light in a light bulb because it is focused, coherent, and monochromatic. This means that laser light is concentrated, all the waves are in step with each other, and the light consists of a single color or wavelength. Conversely, light from a light bulb is diffuse, incoherent, and contains multiple wavelengths/colors.

Could batteries light a light bulb?

Yes, even a potato can light a light bulb. Yes. If the batteries match the voltage of the bulb, they can light it. Flashlights have bulbs and batteries that power them. If you mean a household light bulb, then you'd need many batteries in series (80 of the 1.5 volt batteries).

Electricity is passed through a wire from battery to bulb


What a batteries job is?

The job of a battery is to power the torch. if the circuit is not complete then the bulb wont light up and if the batteries arent the right way round the bulb wont light up either.


Why doesn't the bulb light when the batteries are taken out?

because it then is not generating electricity.
