A 40 watt bulb uses 40 watt-hours in an hour, which is 0.04 kilowatt-hours, so it would take 25 hours to use 1 kilowatt-hour or 1 unit.

Will the bulb light if the filament is broken Why?

No, the bulb will not light if the filament is broken because the filament is the part of the bulb that creates light when electricity passes through it. Without a functioning filament, there is no source of light in the bulb.


You are using a bulb whose filament is broken will the bulb glow when connected to battery give reason?

No, the bulb will not glow when connected to a battery if the filament is broken. The filament is the part of the bulb that heats up and produces light when electricity passes through it. If the filament is broken, there is no path for the electricity to flow through and generate light.


How is light produced in an ordinary incandescent bulb?

Electric power is put trough a metallic filament inside a bulb that is filled with an inert gas. the filament is surrounded by the inert gas rather then air to stop the metallic filament from oxidizing when it starts to glow as a result of the electricity being run through it. the glowing filament produces the light.


The part of a light bulb that is a poor conductor so that the friction causes it to light up and glow?

The filament inside a light bulb is typically made of tungsten, which is a poor conductor of electricity. When electricity flows through the filament, it encounters resistance, which causes the filament to heat up and emit light.


What do the phosphors inside fluorescent bulbs absorb to create a glow?

The phosphors in fluorescent bulbs absorb ultraviolet light, which is emitted by the bulb's mercury vapor when electricity is passed through it. The absorbed ultraviolet light is then re-emitted as visible light, creating the glow we see.

Will bulb glow in milk?

No, a light bulb will not glow if placed in milk. Milk is not a conductor of electricity, so it will not allow the flow of current needed to power the light bulb.


What did you do to make light bulbs glow dimmer?

To make light bulbs glow dimmer, I reduced the amount of electricity flowing to them by using a dimmer switch or a lower wattage bulb. This decrease in electricity causes the filament in the bulb to emit less light, resulting in a dimmer glow.


What transformation did electrical energy undergo to make the bulb glow?

The electrical energy was transformed into light and heat energy in the light bulb, causing it to glow. This transformation occurs when the electricity passes through the filament in the bulb, producing light and heat as a result of the filament's resistance to the flow of electricity.


What three objects make a light bulb glow?

A light bulb requires a power source (electricity), a filament (usually made of tungsten) within the bulb, and a vacuum or inert gas environment in the bulb to prevent oxidation of the filament. When electricity flows through the filament, it heats up and emits light, causing the bulb to glow.


Will the bulb light if the filament is broken Why?

No, the bulb will not light if the filament is broken because the filament is the part of the bulb that creates light when electricity passes through it. Without a functioning filament, there is no source of light in the bulb.


What type of energy makes a light bulb glow?

An electric light bulb converts electrical energy into thermal energy which is in the form of radiated light and heat. For example, the " easy bake oven" uses a light bulb to cook the food.


Does a light bulb have magnet?

No, a light bulb does not have magnets. A light bulb works by passing electricity through a filament, causing it to glow and produce light. Magnets are not used in the operation of a regular light bulb.

What is the principle of electric bulb in short?

Electricity through a thin wire (filament) makes it glow, which is prevented from burning through the wire by gas inside the bulb.


Does glowing of bulb depends upon frequency?

No, the glowing of a light bulb does not depend on frequency. Light bulbs glow because of the electrical current passing through the filament, causing it to heat up and emit light. The frequency of the electricity supplied to the bulb affects its brightness but not whether it will glow or not.


Is a dark light bulb starting to glow a conversion from chemical energy to mechanical?

No, the process of a dark light bulb starting to glow is a conversion from electrical energy to light energy. The electricity flowing through the filament of the light bulb generates heat and light, causing it to glow. Chemical energy is not involved in this process.


How does a battery powered light work?

The battery chemically stores electricity so when you 'switch on' the light then electricity flows from the battery to the bulb. The bulb the heats up to glow white and the reflector shines the light out of the battery powered light
