Watts is the product of amps x volts. As the value of voltage increases the value of amperage decreases. 240 x 4.17 = 1000.8 watts. 120 x 8.34 = 1000.8. No matter what voltage is used on the bulb, it still draws 1000 watts and this is what the utility companies base their billing on.

Does a 100w light bulb use more electricity than a toaster?
It depends on the wattage of the toaster. If the toaster has a wattage greater than 100W, then it will use more electricity than a 100W light bulb. If the toaster has a wattage less than 100W, then the light bulb will use more electricity.
How much volts does a small light bulb need to be powered?
110 volts is what comes out of an average wall socket in America. A 100-watt bulb would be powered by 110 volts. You need to be more specific in your question to get a good answer. Small can't be measured.
What consumes more power a light bulb or a refrigerator when they are on?
On average, a refrigerator consumes more power than a light bulb when they are both on. This is because refrigerators require more energy to maintain a constant temperature and run continuously, while light bulbs only consume electricity when they are switched on.
What uses more electricity a lit light bulb or an empty socket of the same rating switched on?
When the bulb is lit it uses energy. When there is no bulb, no energy is used even if it is switched on.
Does a 100w light bulb use more electricity than a refrigerator?
A 100 watt light bulb draws a little less than one amp. A refrigerator draws much more when compressor is running. The duty cycle of the light and refrigerator will ultimately determine which uses more power on a Kilowatt Hour basis.
Which would use more energy a 50 watt bulb or a 75 watt bulb?
A 75 bulb will use more electricity.
Does a 100w light bulb use more electricity than a toaster?
It depends on the wattage of the toaster. If the toaster has a wattage greater than 100W, then it will use more electricity than a 100W light bulb. If the toaster has a wattage less than 100W, then the light bulb will use more electricity.
Why is an outlet more dangerous than static electricity?
an outlet has a higher volts than an ordinary static electricity
Does a light bulb use more electricity than a toaster?
no
Can electricity still pass through a bulb which has fused?
If the bulb lights up then electricity is passing through the bulb. If the bulb doesn't light up then electricity is not passing through.
How much volts does a small light bulb need to be powered?
110 volts is what comes out of an average wall socket in America. A 100-watt bulb would be powered by 110 volts. You need to be more specific in your question to get a good answer. Small can't be measured.
Is “The news was more shocking than a thousand volts of electricity” a simile or metaphor?
metaphor
Can you use static electricity to light a light bulb?
No, static electricity is not typically strong enough to light a light bulb. To light a light bulb, you generally need a continuous flow of electricity, which is not provided by static electricity. Static electricity is more commonly used in applications like static shocks or attracting small objects.
If there are more wires does the light get brighter?
No. Or at least not perceptually. The wires only supply electricity to the bulb - the bulb is what limits the current.
What happens when a bulb is attached to a battery?
When a bulb is attached to a battery or a cell as scientists call it, the bulb glows. If you want a bulb to glow more and more brighter, it depends on how many batteries you attached to the bulb. If you attach a lot of batteries at the same time, the bulb might even explode or burn out. The wires that hold the interaction between a light bulb and the battery is electricity. The electricity flows through the wires and touches the bulb and that is how a light bulb glows.
How does light from cfl bulb compare?
When you compare a CFL (Compact Fluorescent Lamp) bulb to an LED bulb, the CFL bulb has a shorter lifespan. The CFL bulb also uses more electricity for the same brightness Also a CFL lasts longer and uses less electricity (for the same brightness) than an incandescent bulb.
What non sighted fish can genarate 400 volts of electricity?
an electric eel can produce up to 400 volts of electricity. this is more than enough to kill a human.
