it all depends on what the bulb is rated for

4 extra volts on a 120 volt bulb is negligable

4 extra volts on a 1 volt bulb will definitely pop the element, but I don't think it would explode

AnswerDepends on the bulb voltage, but it shouldn't explode.

If it's a 6volt bulb or lower, it would burn out quickly.

If it's a 12volt bulb or higher, it may have a shorter life, but it would be brighter.

If a light bulb is connected between 2 wires and both wires have 300 volts of electrical energy is the light bulb lit?

A light bulb connected between to wires, each having 300 volts to ground that are in phase, will not light, because there is no differential voltage available to do any work. If each wire has 300 volts to ground and are out of phase (600 volts between them) the light bulb will be lit, if it is rated at least for 600 volts, otherwise it will burn out.

What happens when a light bulb get more than 120 volts?

When a light bulb receives more than 120 volts, it will likely generate more heat than it is designed to handle, causing it to burn out or potentially shatter. This can be a safety hazard as the excess voltage can lead to overheating and fire risk. It is important to always use the correct voltage for light bulbs to ensure proper functioning and safety.
