The potato-battery experiment only generates about 1.5 volts a few milliamps. For a 40W incadescant bulb you typically need 120V and about 330 mas. If you could control all your losses in circuitry and somehow group the potatoes in series you would need about 160 potatoes. Wire 80 in series and parallel that with another 80 in series. This will provide DC vice AC. You need the proper anode and cathode and proper gauge wire. 40W isn't practical application. Try smaller bulb for starters and work your way up.

How many amps in a low voltage light bulb?
Look on the light bulb for the voltage and the power in watts. Then divide the watts by the voltage and that gives the amps. Some CFL bulbs also state the current as well as the voltage and power, which is because they can have a poor power factor.
How many lumens are in a 168 light bulb?
This varies widely between manufacturers, whether it's a "clear" bulb or a "frosted" bulb, and what type bulb as in incandescent, florescent , quartz, etc etc
How many mercury atoms are in one fluorescent light bulb?
in a compact flourescent about 8mg.
How many years after the invention of the light bulb was the empire building complete?
6 yrs
How many watts equal 35 lumen's?
There is no direct conversion for this, because these are two separate things. Watts is actual power usage. "Lumens" is how much light is provided from a specified amount of power. The typical light bulb converts some of the electricity driven through it into light, and the rest into heat. The more efficient the light bulb, the less power per lumen will be required.That is why newer bulbs can be purchased that are 13 watts and advertised as equivalent to 60 watt incandescent bulbs - the light output is roughly equivalent (lumens), but the power usage is substantially different.
How many potatoes does it take to change a light bulb?
You wouldn't use a potato to screw in a light bulb... if the glass in the light bulb breaks as you're removing it, you can use a potato to take the light bulb out.
How many potatoes does it take to light a LED bulb completely?
The number of potatoes needed to light an LED bulb depends on several factors, including the size and type of the potato, the LED bulb's voltage and current requirements, and the setup used. Typically, a single potato can produce about 0.5 volts and a small amount of current, so you would need several potatoes connected in series to achieve the necessary voltage to power an LED bulb. Generally, it may take around 5 to 10 potatoes to light a standard low-voltage LED bulb effectively.
How many watts are typically used in a light bulb?
A typical light bulb uses around 60 watts of power.
How many lumens does a light bulb with a power consumption of 150 watts produce?
A light bulb with a power consumption of 150 watts typically produces around 2600 to 3000 lumens.
How many democrats does it take to change a light bulb?

How many volts are in anonion to power a light bulb?
Onions don't have volts.
Could batteries light a light bulb?
Yes, even a potato can light a light bulb. Yes. If the batteries match the voltage of the bulb, they can light it. Flashlights have bulbs and batteries that power them. If you mean a household light bulb, then you'd need many batteries in series (80 of the 1.5 volt batteries).
How many parts are there to a light bulb?
their are 8 parts to the light bulb
How many light bulbs to light a big light bulb?
It depends how big the light bulb is to be honest
How many amps in a low voltage light bulb?
Look on the light bulb for the voltage and the power in watts. Then divide the watts by the voltage and that gives the amps. Some CFL bulbs also state the current as well as the voltage and power, which is because they can have a poor power factor.
How many philosophers does it take to change a light bulb?
Define "light bulb"
How many apples does it take to light a light bulb?
It would take a lot of apples to generate enough electricity to light a light bulb. Apples can produce a small amount of electrical current through a process called oxidation, but it would likely require hundreds or even thousands of apples to power a light bulb.
