That depends a lot on the type of lightbulb. Check the number of watts on the lightbulb - watts means joules / second. An old-fashioned incandescent lightbulb might use in the range of 40-100 watts (joules/second); 100 watts for the brighter ones. On the other hand, a fluorescent lightbulb uses around 40 watts for the brighter ones, and a LED lightbulb uses even less.

What will happen to the second light bulb if the first light bulb burns out?

the second bulb become weak because there's not a lot of energy being transformed into bulb 2


What is the Electrical power for a lightbulb?

The power rating for a light bulb (like "40 W") tells how much electrical power the light bulb uses. All of the power used by the bulb is either converted into light or heat. In an incandescent bulb, most of the energy becomes heat. In a fluorescent bulb, more of it becomes light.


How much work does a 75 watt bulb do?

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.


How much energy does a sixty watt light bulb use to yield light?

It takes 60 watt-hours. Same as lighting a 1-watt bulb for 60 hours; or 60 bulbs of 1 watt each for 1 hour. You get the idea.Notice the units: watt-hours, not watts. Watt is a unit of power, watt-hour is a unit of energy. 1 watt-hour = 0.001 kWh (kilowatt-hour) = 3600 joules = 860 calories = 3.4 BTU.


When 60 W means that W joules of energy are transferred into the bulb each second. In use how much energy is given out by the bulb each second?

The light bulb will use electrical energy at the rate of 60 W (60 J/s), and it will emit that energy, also at the rate of 60 W.Note that in any real light bulb, only part of the energy is emitted as visible light. The remainder is mainly heat.


What type of energy is when you plug in a light bulb?

To plug it in, you use your muscle energy. When current flows through the bulb,electrical energy converted to the heat and light energy in the bulb.


How many joules of energy does a 100 watt bulb require each second?

With current (as of 2013) technology, from best to worst efficiency, the light bulbs are basically:LED light bulbs (most efficient)Fluorescent lightsThe old-fashioned incandescent lights (worst)


When a light bulb is glowing which form of energy goes into the bulb Which form of energy leave it?

The energy that goes in is electrical energy; the energy that leaves it is visible light, as well as heat.


How does the law of thermodynamics work with a light bulb?

The first law of thermodynamics states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed. In the case of a light bulb, electrical energy is converted into light and heat energy. The second law of thermodynamics states that some energy is always lost as heat in any energy conversion process, thus not all the energy from the light bulb is converted into light.


When energy runs through a light bulb what kind of energy does the light bulb produce?

A light bulb uses electrical energy, and produces light, as well as heat.


Is a light bulb an energy source?

No.it uses energy sources (electrical energy to light up


What form of energy does a light bulb?

A light bulb converts electrical energy into light energy and heat energy.
