How is a 100 watt bulb different than a 60 watt bulb?
Explanation: 100 watt bulb is used for 10 hours will consume 1000 wattsr. since 60 watt bulb consumes less power its light out put will be also less. Supply voltage being constant the more watts means more current,So you consume more energy pay for money.
Can I use 60w instead of 100w?
Yes, you can always put a lower wattage light bulb into a higher wattage rated fixture. The lower wattage bulb will draw less current from the fixture and generates less heat, and that’s perfectly fine.
What is 100W LED equivalent?
LED equivalents to traditional incandescent light bulbs
Incandescent Light Bulb Wattage | LED Equivalent Wattage |
---|---|
100 Watt | 10 Watt |
75 Watt | 7.5 Watt |
60 Watt | 6 Watt |
50 Watt | 5 Watt |
How much does 60 watts cost per hour?
So, a 60-watt bulb uses 60 watts hours or . 06 kilowatt hours of energy for each hour it’s on. The bulb would use 1 kilowatt hour in just less than 17 hours if left on continuously; around 12 cents in our current tariff for most residential customers.
How much does 100 watts per hour cost?
Common watts to kilowatt-hour conversions for a 1-hour time period, along with the estimated cost of electricity assuming a price of $0.12 per kWh….Common Watts to Kilowatt-Hour Conversions.
Power in Watts | Energy in Kilowatt-hours | Electricity Cost |
---|---|---|
100 W | 0.1 kWh | $0.012 per hr |
200 W | 0.2 kWh | $0.024 per hr |
What happens if I put a 100W bulb in a 60W socket?
Putting a 100-watt bulb in a 60-watt fixture could cause intense heat, melting the light socket and the insulation on the fixture’s wires. Any time you have that kind of damage on wires, you’re at a big risk for arc faults, where an electrical current falls off its intended path— a leading cause of home fires.
Can you still buy 100W light bulbs?
100 watt bulbs are phased out currently (though still available), but only those. Assuming you like warm color temps like incandescents, LED bulbs are still a little pricey, but you can get LEDs in the 3000-4000k range that can output more lumens than a 100 watt incandescent at a 10th the power draw.
How many lumen is a 100 watt bulb?
1600 lumens
The brightness, or lumen levels, of the lights in your home may vary widely, so here’s a rule of thumb: To replace a 100 watt (W) incandescent bulb, look for a bulb that gives you about 1600 lumens. If you want something dimmer, go for fewer lumens; if you prefer brighter light, look for more lumens.
Which bulb is brighter 60W or 100W?
The 60 watts bulb will glow brighter than the 100 watts bulb because the resistance of the 40 watts bulb is more than the resistance of 100 watts bulb. But 60W bulb will glow more than 100W. If a 60W and a 100W bulbs are connected in series to a 200V battery, which of these will glow more brightly and why?
What is the resistance of a 60 watt light bulb?
A 60 W lightbulb has a resistance of 240 Ω. You can get this value by solving the for R in the equation P = V 2 / R, where P is the nominal power of 60 Watts, and V is the nominal voltage of 120 Volts. And, using the same approach, you can find the resistance for the 100 Watt light bulb, which is 144 Ω.
How do you calculate the power of a light bulb?
The power P = I 2 R where I is the current and for bulbs connected in series because the current is the same through both bulbs the bulb with the larger resistance (60W bulb) will dissipate more power ie be brighter, than the bulb with the smaller resistance (100W bulb).
Why is the power dissipated not The wattages of the bulbs?
Why is the power dissipated not simply the wattages of the bulbs? The power rating of a bulb is calculated assuming that the bulb will be used in a normal lighting circuit, that is, it will be in a parallel circuit, receiving the full domestic supply voltage, which I assume is 120V in your country.
