How many volts lamps use?

Most household lamps in the US use either 120 volts or 240 volts, depending on the wiring system in the building. It's important to check the lamp's specifications and the voltage in your home to ensure compatibility and safety.


How does the light bulb help us in this modern day?

AnswerIt is my opinion is that the light bulb can be important like if it was a dark night and you wanted light. You could turn the light on (light bulb). I also think it is stupid because if the power went out you couldn't use the light bulb because you need power!AnswerThe light bulb is important because it lead to the infrastructure of electricity in society and all of the many things that we now use electricity for. The practical light bulb led the way to so many other useful inventions; it 'shed light' on what was possible.


How do photons travel outward from a light bulb?

Photons travel outward from a light bulb in all directions due to their wave-particle duality. As the light bulb emits electromagnetic radiation, photons are released and propagate in a straight line until they interact with surfaces or particles. The photons then transfer their energy to these surfaces, allowing us to see the light emitted from the bulb.


Why it is possible to light the bulb even though only one wire is used?

A complete electrical circuit is formed even with just one wire because the wire provides a path for the flow of electrons from the power source to the light bulb and back. This flow of electrons allows the bulb to light up. In this scenario, the bulb is acting as a resistor completing the circuit.


Could you use an E27 bulb in a standard US household light bulb socket?

Yes, E26 and E27 bases will fit the same socket. Have you ever put in a light bulb and noticed it had a very slight wiggle to it or it was a bit tight? this is the primary difference between that 1mm base size difference. Both sizes are sold depending on the manufactures design preference. In the past European bulbs were E27 and US bulbs E26.

Can a 220V light fixture be used in the US?

Yes, you can easily use it. Just install it as you would any other 120 volt light fixture and change the bulb from a 240 volt bulb to a 120 volt bulb. It will work just fine.


HOW did the light bulb make life better?

The light bulb is safer and easier to use than gas lamps, and electricity is easier to distribute for the purpose of street/home lighting than gas. A cheaper, safer, and easier means of bringing light to the darkness was born with its invention.
