On this calculation I am assuming that the light bulb is using a 120 volt source. Watts = Amps x Volts. Amps = Watts/Volts, 40/120 = .33 amps. R = Volts/Amps, 120/.33 = 363.6 ohms resistance in the 40 watt light bulb.

Can a 6 volt battery light up a 40 watt bulb?

No, a 6 volt battery is not strong enough to power a 40 watt bulb, which typically requires around 12 volts to operate efficiently. You would need a higher voltage power source to light up a 40 watt bulb.


A 75 watts110 volts bulb is connected in parallel with a 40 watts110 volts bulb. What is its net resistance?

We have two bulb in parallel debiting 75 + 40 = 115 watts under 110 volts. I -current amperes V -potential volts W -power watts R -resistance ohms knowing W = V*I V = I*R W = R*I2 Then: 115 watts = 110 volts * I => I = 115/110 = 1,045 amperes R = 115/(115/110)2 = 1102 / 115 = 105,217 ohms ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Another way: First get the resistance of each bulb. Then we know that Rparallel = 1/(1/R1 + 1/R2 ) 75 watts = 110 volts * I => I = 75/110 ampere. R1 = 75/(75/110)2 = 1102/ 75 = 161,333 ohms. for the other bulb 40watts = 110 volts * I => I = 40/110 ampere. R2 = 40/(40/110)2 = 1102/ 40 = 302,5 ohms. meaning Rparallel = 1/(1/161,333+1/302,5) = 105,217 ohms That it's


How many ohms is 5 watt light bulb?

To calculate the resistance of a 5 watt light bulb, you can use the formula P = V^2 / R, where P is power (5 watts) and V is voltage (typically around 120V for a household light bulb). Rearranging the formula to solve for resistance, you get R = V^2 / P. Plugging in the values, R = (120V)^2 / 5W = 2880 ohms. So, a 5 watt light bulb at 120V would have a resistance of 2880 ohms.


What it is the difference between 100 watts and 75 watt light bulb?

The main difference between a 100-watt and a 75-watt light bulb is the amount of light output they produce. A 100-watt bulb will be brighter and consume more energy compared to a 75-watt bulb. The 100-watt bulb may also generate more heat than the 75-watt bulb.


What is the resistance of a 28 watt bulb?

That depends on what voltage it's designed to operate from. Power = (voltage)2 / R R = Voltage2 / power If it's a 117-volt bulb, R = (117)2 / 28 = 489 ohms. If it's a 240-volt bulb, R = (240)2 / 28 = 2,057 ohms.

What does 40 watts bulb mean?

An electrical watt is a measure of power. A 40 watt light bulb uses 40 watts of electrical power. It has a relative measure of twice the light output of a 20 watt bulb and one half the output of an 80 watt bulb. A 40 watt bulb uses 40 Joules of energy each second, or 40 watt-hours of energy each hour. In 1000 hours it uses 40 kilowatt-hours or Units of electrical energy.

What is the incandescent equivalent of a 40 Watt halogen bulb?

A halogen bulb IS ITSELF a type of incandescent illumination source. A 40 Watt traditional incandescent bulb usually emits about 400 to 500 lumens while a halogen may emit close to twice that. So a 25 W halogen might give out as much light as ah older style 40 W bulb.
