Best Answer

The current flowing through a bulb is equal to the (voltage across the bulb) divided by the

(bulb resistance), and can be expressed in Amperes.

The rate at which the bulb dissipates energy is equal to (voltage across the bulb)

times (current through the bulb), and can be expressed in watts.

What is the current in anACcircuirt with 12-v0lt And a 60 watt light bulb?

A 60 watt bulb at 12 volts will pull 5 amps of current.


Do a 12 volt 50 watt bulb and a 230 volt 50 watt bulb draw the same current?

No, they do not draw the same current. The current drawn by an electrical device is determined by the power (Watts) and voltage (Volts) using the formula: Current (amps) = Power (Watts) / Voltage (Volts). So, the 12 volt 50 watt bulb will draw higher current compared to the 230 volt 50 watt bulb.


What is alternating current through 100 Watt bulb connected at wall outlet?

The current is 0.83 amps on 120 v or 0.42 amps on 240 v.


Does a 25 watt light bulb draw more current than a 60 watt light bulb?

No, a higher wattage INCANDESCENT light bulb uses more current than a lower wattage INCANDESCENT light bulb. Some CF and LED bulbs are rated by the amount of light that an incandescent bulb would produce, but they are also rated by the wattage that they use.


How much current flows in a 75-walt's light-bulb connected to a 110 voltage wall outlet?

The current flowing through the 75-watt light bulb connected to a 110-volt wall outlet can be calculated by using the formula: Power = Voltage x Current. Therefore, the current flowing through the light bulb would be approximately 0.68 amps.


Can you replace a 6 watt bulb with a 10 watt bulb?

As long as the lamp holder will take the larger wattage lamp and the current of the circuit is sized to take the larger current then yes, the lamps should be interchangeable.


What is the Current through a 75-watt bulb that is connected to a 120-volt circuit?

Considering an incandescent bulb and using P=VxI P= Power Watts V= Volts I= Current (amperes) I=P/V I=75Watts/120Volts = 0.625 Amperes (A or Amps) Therefore the current through a 75watt bulb that is connected to a 120volt circuit is 0.625 amps.


How do you create alternating current for a 65 watt bulb?

You can get a 65-watt alternator to generate the current, or alternatively it can be bought from the electricity supply company in many locations.

What propery of electric current allowed Edison's fist light bulb to light?

The property that allowed Edison's first light bulb to light up was the flow of electric current through a conductive filament, typically made of tungsten or carbon. This flow of current passed through the filament, heating it up to a high enough temperature to emit light.
