Watts is Watts and has no relation to time. w=v*a (west Virginia varsity). A 60 watt light bulb is 60 watts regardless of how long it is on. Watt hours would be what PG&E bills you for.

Does a high watt bulb give more energy than a low watt bulb?

More watts means it uses more energy per second (watt is a unit of power). If it is a light-bulb of the same type of technology, the higher-watt light bulb would also give off more light.


What is the different between a 100 watt bulb and a 60 watt bulb?

40 watts of consumed power. The light output may be greater with one compared to the other, but wattage alone does not give us that information. Electric heaters, for example, consume 1500 watts of power and produce almost no visible light.Check the Lumen's. That is where the difference is.Current draw and light output.A 60 watt bulb uses 60 watts of electricity (i.e. it converts 60 joules of energy per second), a 100 watt bulb converts 100 joules per second. Electrical power is measured in watts. Since a 60 watt bulb pulls less energy to it than a 100 watt bulb the 60 watt bulb will not be as bright.Resistance.Just in the amount of power used and the brightness of the bulb. The 60 watt bulb might be a bit smaller.


Does a 150 watt bulb do 150 joules of work?

Every second a 150 Watt bulb converts 150 Joules from electricity into heat and light. The number of Watts tells you how many Joules pass per second.


Does the brain operate on the same amount of power as a 10 watt light bulb?

No, the brain does not operate on the same amount of power as a 10 watt light bulb. The brain is estimated to use about 20 watts of power, which is roughly equivalent to the energy consumption of a dim incandescent light bulb.


What does 40 watts bulb mean?

An electrical watt is a measure of power. A 40 watt light bulb uses 40 watts of electrical power. It has a relative measure of twice the light output of a 20 watt bulb and one half the output of an 80 watt bulb. A 40 watt bulb uses 40 Joules of energy each second, or 40 watt-hours of energy each hour. In 1000 hours it uses 40 kilowatt-hours or Units of electrical energy.

Why the power drawn across 40 watt bulb more than 60 watt bulb?

It isn't more, it is less if bulbs are of the same type.

Is 60 Hz and 60 watt light bulb the same thing?

No, they are not the same thing. 60 Hz refers to the frequency of the electricity supply, while a 60-watt light bulb refers to the power consumption or output of the bulb.

What is the maximum power consumption of a 120 watt bulb?

The maximum power consumption of a 120 watt bulb is 120 watts.


What does 40 watts bulb mean?

An electrical watt is a measure of power. A 40 watt light bulb uses 40 watts of electrical power. It has a relative measure of twice the light output of a 20 watt bulb and one half the output of an 80 watt bulb. A 40 watt bulb uses 40 Joules of energy each second, or 40 watt-hours of energy each hour. In 1000 hours it uses 40 kilowatt-hours or Units of electrical energy.


A bulb has power 40W and it is operated 110Volts. what is the energy produced in one second?

A 40 Watt bulb emits 40 Joules each second. ( the operating voltage is irrelevant )


Is a watt a light bulb?

A 60 watt light bulb is a light bulb with 60 watts capacity. When talking about watts, you're talking about the power that is transferred from the appliance to the accessories. Therefore, the light bulb labeled "60 watts" takes 60 watts to light up. A 60 watt light bulb will not be as bright as a 120 watt light bulb.


Compare and contrast a 60 watt and 100 watt light bulb?

The more energy that is transferred in a certain time, the greater the power. A 100W light bulb transfers more electrical energy each second than a 60W light bulb.The equation below shows the relationship between power, potential difference (voltage) and current:power (watts) = current (amps) x potential difference (volts)


Do a 12 volt 50 watt bulb and a 230 volt 50 watt bulb draw the same current?

No, they do not draw the same current. The current drawn by an electrical device is determined by the power (Watts) and voltage (Volts) using the formula: Current (amps) = Power (Watts) / Voltage (Volts). So, the 12 volt 50 watt bulb will draw higher current compared to the 230 volt 50 watt bulb.
