With current (as of 2013) technology, from best to worst efficiency, the light bulbs are basically:
An 11-watt bulb uses 11 joules of energy per second.
The power of the light bulb is 100 watts since 1 watt is equal to 1 joule per second.
Watt means joules/second. It refers to the amount of energy a device uses, in this case. Multiply the power (in watts) by the time (in seconds) to get the energy (in joules).
To find the number of photons being radiated per second, you need to calculate the energy of each photon first. Since the light bulb emits 100 watts (100 joules per second), and each photon has an energy of about 4.86 x 10^-19 joules for visible light, you can divide the total energy emitted per second by the energy of each photon to find the number of photons emitted.
In the sense of 'work' as force moving through a distance, a light bulb does none of that. But in the sense that mechanical work is equivalent to energy in other realms, the 75-watt light bulb consumes 75 joules of electrical energy every second, and radiates 75 joules per second of energy in the form of light and heat.
The energy used by a 40W bulb in one second is 40 Joules. This is because power is defined as the rate at which energy is transferred or converted, so if the bulb consumes 40W of power in one second, it uses 40 Joules of energy in that time period.
An 11-watt bulb uses 11 joules of energy per second.
100 joules/second = 100 watts.
100 joules/second = 100 watts.
A Watt is a Joule per second. Joules measure energy and Watts measure power, which is the rate of energy used. Therefore, if you use a 60 Watt light bulb for 10 seconds, you consume 600 Joules.
The power of the light bulb is 100 watts since 1 watt is equal to 1 joule per second.
there are 100 joules in an energy efficient light bulb 75 joules go towards the light and 25 joules go towards the heat
A 40 Watt bulb emits 40 Joules each second. ( the operating voltage is irrelevant )
Watt means joules/second. It refers to the amount of energy a device uses, in this case. Multiply the power (in watts) by the time (in seconds) to get the energy (in joules).
Power = energy / time, in SI units: watts = joules / seconds. Solving for energy: Joules = watts x seconds.
The light bulb dissipates 100 watts = 100 joules per second.1 joule lasts 0.01 second.
Every second a 150 Watt bulb converts 150 Joules from electricity into heat and light. The number of Watts tells you how many Joules pass per second.
