The principle behind those glowing orbs throughout your house is one of the most simplistic of science and circuitry. If you provide a source of energy to an able filament it will glow. Whether your source is the AC current running through your home or DC current provided by a battery, it will still yield the same result.
Yes, for about .1 second, then it will blow the lamp. A 9v battery will however light three 3.5v lamps.
Yes, a 12 volt auto light bulb can work on 12 volt AC, but the light output might be slightly lower compared to when using DC. The bulb will still produce light, but it may flicker due to the alternating current.
12 volts is enough for a 12-volt 100-watt light bulb. It would not be enough for a 120-volt or 240-volt bulb.
Draw a battery and light bulb. Draw a line from the smaller connector on the battery to the bottom of the light bulb, this is positive on both. Draw a line from the bigger connector on the battery to the side of the light bulb,'this is the negative of both. Looked all over and can't seem to find this one.
Assuming a standard D battery has a voltage of 1.5 volts, it would take approximately 35 D batteries (52 volts / 1.5 volts per battery = 34.67). However, in reality, you cannot directly power a 52 volt light bulb using D batteries as the voltages do not match.
If it is a 1.5 volt bulb you can connect it through a series circuit directly to your battery. If the bulb is not made to run on 1.5 volts and needs another voltage, it may not light up!
Yes it it is a 12 volt DC light bulb. It will not operate a household 120 volt light bulb.
Yes, for about .1 second, then it will blow the lamp. A 9v battery will however light three 3.5v lamps.
If the type of light bulb you are using was made to run on 1.5 volts, a 1.5 volt battery should be able to light up one or several of those types if they are each wired in parallel directly across the 1.5 volt battery.If the type of light bulb you are using was made to run on 0.75 volts, a 1.5 volt battery will light up two or more of those types if they are wired in pairs in series across the battery.If the type of light bulb you are using was made to run on, say, 3.0 volts, a 1.5 volt battery will not light it up very much - it may just glow dimly.If the type of light bulb you are using was made to run on any voltage higher than, let's say 5 volts - for instance a standard 120 volt household bulb - then your 1.5 volt battery will not be able to light one of those up at all.Another answerYou can wire any number of 1.5v bulbs in parallel, but for each one you add you will draw more current. Draw too much current and the battery will get hot and may explode, depending on what it is made of.How long the battery will be able to keep the light bulbs lit will depend on the size of the battery, meaning how much charge it can hold. (Its capacity in amp.hours.)
Each light bulb will receive the full 9 volts from the battery in a series circuit, so each bulb will be operating on 9 volts.

Yes, a 12 volt auto light bulb can work on 12 volt AC, but the light output might be slightly lower compared to when using DC. The bulb will still produce light, but it may flicker due to the alternating current.
12 volts is enough for a 12-volt 100-watt light bulb. It would not be enough for a 120-volt or 240-volt bulb.
Is the bulb a 1.5 volt bulb? A 3 volt bulb? A 12 volt bulb or a 120 volt bulb?Or does it have some other voltage such as 230 volts which is very common in Europe and many other countries of the world?What is the wattage of the "big light bulb"?This question cannot be answered without knowing at least the voltage and the wattage of the light bulb that is being asked about.
The 1964 VW Beetle came from the factory with a 6 volt electrical system. Unless it has been upgraded to a 12 volt system you would need a 6 volt battery. I would recommend you check the voltage of the current battery with a volt meter. If there is no battery in the vehicle, just remove a light bulb and check the voltage written on the bulb.
If the bulb is a 40 watt, 120v bulb, you would need 20 6 volt batteries wired in series, or 80 (!) 1.5 volt batteries. 1.5 volt batteries are AAA, AA, C, D, etc. Since this solution is rather extravagant, try finding a light bulb made for an RV. These typically run off of 12 volts, and you can get a single 12 volt battery, or 2 6 volt batteries, to run this bulb.
