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.


Does a bulb light up if you use batteries with different sizes?

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 a cake power a light bulb?

Only by being put in the furnace at a power plant, then it would help to light a whole region.


Would you expect to find dc or ac in the filament of a light bulb in your home. In the headlight of an automobile?

In the filament of a light bulb in your home, you would typically find AC current since most household electricity is AC. In the headlight of an automobile, you would expect to find DC current, as cars typically use batteries that provide DC power for lighting systems.

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).

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.


How many batteries does it take to light up a 25 watt bulb?

Is the 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?This question cannot be answered without knowing at least the voltage of the light bulb and also the voltages of the batteries that are being asked about.


How many batteries does it take to burnout a light bulb?

The number of batteries needed to burn out a light bulb depends on the type of battery and the power rating of the light bulb. Typically, for a standard household light bulb (60-100 watts), one high-power battery or two to three regular batteries might be enough to burn it out due to overload. However, attempting to intentionally burn out a light bulb can be dangerous and is not recommended.


Where does energy come from a flashlight?

In a flashlight, energy comes from the batteries. The batteries provide electrical energy to power the light bulb or LED in the flashlight, producing light as a result.


What kind of battery can power a 40 watt light 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.


How many batteries does it take to light a big light bulb?

You dont need batteries to light a lightbulb!

What type of energy does a flash light?

A flashlight typically uses chemical energy stored in batteries to power the conversion of electrical energy to light energy through a bulb or LED.


How does the Mag-Lite flashlight work?

A Mag-Lite flashlight works by using an incandescent light bulb or LED bulb, which is powered by batteries stored within the flashlight. When the bulb is switched on, the batteries provide the necessary power to generate light. The light produced is then focused and projected through a reflector and lens to create a concentrated beam of light.


Why do light bulbs get brighter when you attach more batteries to it?

When you attach more batteries to a light bulb, it increases the voltage across the bulb, which leads to a higher current flowing through it. The increase in current causes the filament in the bulb to heat up more, resulting in increased brightness.
