The old fashioned camera light bulbs would burst because they contained magnesium. The magnesium would cause the bulb to break when it was used up.

How much energy does a 5 watt light bulb?

That varies a lot, depending on the type of light bulb. The old-fashioned incandescent light bulbs produce much less light, for the same power, than the fluorescent light bulbs.That varies a lot, depending on the type of light bulb.

What is the direncence between a light bulb and a tungsten light bulb?

Common old-fashioned light bulbs are of the incandescent type (including halogen) with a tungsten filament glowing at about 3000 degrees C emitting black-body radiation (light and heat). Tungsten is used because it has the highest melting-point of all metals. The other type of bulb is fluorescent, of various types like tubes and CFLs

Where is there a resister in a light bulb circuit?

In an old-fashioned light bulb, the part that emits light is a resistance. When current flows through it, it heats up so much that it glows - it emits light.Due to their lousy efficiency, these light bulbs should be discarded, in favor of fluorescent light bulbs or LED light bulbs.In an old-fashioned light bulb, the part that emits light is a resistance.

What is the meaning of the sign of the bulb?

If you mean a light bulb, it means someone got an idea or they finally understand an idea. "The light bulb went off in his head" But it really should be that it went "on" not "off". The "off" comes from the way a light of a flash camera comes on and off.
