The amount of heat something can dissipate into the air depends greatly on the size of it's surface area. This is why the thinner filament will burn more than the thicker part, because the thin part can not dissipate the heat as quickly. Filaments are in the past, get LED bulbs.

Can you make a bulb glow more brightly by adding a second battery?

Yes, two batteries will make a light bulb brighter than one, provided that the batteries are placed in series. The brightness of the bulb is determined by the voltage, and placing two batteries in series rather than just using one increases the voltage.


What will happen if this 4.5 v bulb is connected to a 1.5 v cell?

The bulb need the correct voltage to operate. Your bulb would light if it is a 1.5 volt light. So the voltage of the supply and the light must be matched. Too little voltage won't light the light, too much will light it too much and blow it up.


What if replace headlight bulb with a higher voltage?

A bulb designed for a higher voltage application than the one it's used in will not shine as brightly as it is supposed to. For instance; a 24 volt light in a 12 volt socket will be dimmer than it's designed to be.


Can a car 12 volt bulb be replaced by a 13.5 volt safely?

yes, but it will glow less than a 12 volt one


Which glows more brighter a 100 w bulb or a 75 w bulb explain?

A 100W bulb will generally glow brighter than a 75W bulb because it consumes more power and emits more light. The higher wattage means that more energy is being converted into light, leading to a brighter glow.


IF a bulb travels at the speed of light and is turned on will it glow?

Light cannot travel faster than the speed of light, so a bulb traveling at the speed of light is not possible in the laws of physics as we know them. If it were somehow possible, the bulb may emit light, but we cannot definitively predict what would happen under such extreme conditions.


Can use 24 V bulb in place of 36 v bulb?

yes, but it would be approximately a third dimmer.answ2. Probably not. For there would be more voltage across the bulb than it had been designed for, and it would possibly blow. It would certainly glow much brighter for a while.


When one terminal of the cell is joined by copper wire to the one terminal of bulband another terminal of cell with aluminium wire to the other terminal of bulb. Will the bulb glow Give reason for yo?

Both copper and aluminium wire will conduct electricity, so the bulb will glow. Aluminium is less efficient at conducting than copper. Copper-clad aluminium wire is electrical wire coated with a thin layer of copper.


Why do two incandescent light bulbs glow with different intensities when connected in the same circuit?

When you are wiring two light bulbs in SERIES, you split the voltage to each light bulb in HALF, meaning that it will only glow half the brightness per bulb, but it will only draw the current of one bulb, meaning if the bulbs were connected to a battery, it would last longer to connect them together in series, rather than parallel.


A 40W bulb or a 60W bulb will glow more brighter if connected in series?

Oh, dude, let me break it down for you. If you connect a 40W bulb and a 60W bulb in series, the 60W bulb will glow brighter because it has a higher wattage rating. It's like having a race between a tortoise and a hare - the hare (60W bulb) is gonna shine brighter than the tortoise (40W bulb). So, yeah, the 60W bulb takes the spotlight in this series connection scenario.


What will a full moon do?

It will shine more brightly than when it is not full.


Which bulb will glow brighter with 220V - 40W or 400W?

-- The voltage makes no difference. -- The 400W device dissipates ten times as much power as the 40W device does. We don't know how much of each one's power consumption is radiated in the form of heat, UV light, etc. But if the spectral distribution of their output is similar, then the one that dissipates more power produces more visible light, and appears brighter.
