How many amps does a 60 watt light bulb use?

Answer 1

need to know what it is used in car house ?

E = I X R E/R=I E/I= R

E = volts I = amps R = Resistance OHM S LAW

AC inductive and capacitive loads are different law used

lights are resistive loads,unless fluorescent lights are different load.

but 60 watts =power p/e =i 60/120=.5 120 volts 60 watts on 12volt system

5 amps

Answer

The voltage required for a lamp to operate at its rated power is called its 'rated voltage'. This value is shown, together with the rated power, printed on the lamp's glass envelope -e.g. 60 W/120 V or 60 W/230 V, depending on where you live.

Answer 2

Amps = I

Volts = V

Watts = P

I = P/V

I = 60/240

I = 1/4 = 0.25 amps = 250 mA

or for the US:

I = 60/115

I = 0.522 amps = 522mA

Answer 3

A D or a M battery can power a 60 watt light bulb. A D or a M battery can power a 60 watt light bulb.

Answer 4

To answer this question as it stands the voltage of the batteries is needed and the rated voltage of the bulb.

Answer 5

A 60 Watt bulb, by definition, uses 60 Watts.

If your question was how much current is required to operate a 60W incandescent in a situation where 120 VAC is the norm, it is 1/2 amp.

Answer 6

A 60 watt light bulb typically uses about 0.5 amps of current when operated at its full power. This calculation is based on the formula P (power in watts) = I (current in amps) x V (voltage).
