A 100 watt light bulb draws a little less than one amp. A refrigerator draws much more when compressor is running. The duty cycle of the light and refrigerator will ultimately determine which uses more power on a Kilowatt Hour basis.

Does a 100w light bulb use more electricity than a toaster?
no
Does a 100w light bulb use more energy than a refrigerator?
yes
What consumes more power a light bulb or a refrigerator when they are on?
Refrigerator- it takes more power to kick on and it pulls more electricity than a light bulb
How does an 25w compact fluorescent bulb provides the same amount of light as a 100w filament bulb but use less electricity?
It uses modern technology to give better efficiency. A filament bulb has an incandescent (hot) piece of tungsten wire, which produces light but also heat. A fluorescent bulb uses a different process to produce more light and less heat.
How much electricity use a light bulb -100W- in moment when you TURN ON the light switch?
Less than 0.02 watt/hours. Running your 100w bulb for an hour uses 100 watt/hours. The inrush current during the cold resistance of the bulb lasts for only a millisecond before the bulb is hot. This is insignificant on your electric bill even if you sat and flicked the lightswitch for the whole month, and is a common misconception that someone who didn't know what they were talking about made up.

How many lumens in a 100w light bulb?
1500
Which was invented first the light bulb or electricity?
electricity because a light bulb needs electricity
I just noticed a hot spot under my bathroom tile floor that was not there before What is causing this It's hot when you walk over it?
if there a light fixture under the floor (on the ceiling of the room underneath) the heat will eventually rise. this is most frequent when there is an incandesent light fixture in an uninsulated floor (like a basement 100w light bulb is left on) something like 90% of electricity used by a 100w bulb is heat.
Will a 12v lithium battery rated at 1000ma run a 12v 100w light bulb?

How much does electricity does an ATM consume?
Very little ! About the same as an ordinary 100W light-bulb. Most of the time, it's just sat there in 'stand-by mode' waiting for someone to insert their card.
Can a bulb light if electricity doesn't get to the bulb?
no
How do you make a light bulb in alchemy?
