There is no answer! It depends on the design of the bulb. You can have a 15 watt bulb that is 120 volts or one that is 6 volts. Watts is a measure of power. Volts times amps equals watts. At any given wattage, the higher the voltage is, the lower the amps and viceverca.

∙ 10y agoWell it really depends on the light bulb. If it is a standard 115V incandescent 15W lamp, you would have to wire 75-80 of them in series to get a somewhat normal line voltage. Incandescent lamps will run on lower voltages than what they are designed for, but will give a dimmer light. You can buy incandescent lamps designed to run off of 12V, but then you are trying to draw about 1.25 amps. I believe (off the top of my head) that I remember a AA allowing you to draw about .5 amps so you would have to wire about 24 AA batteries in a combination of series and parallel.
There are a lot of factors to the question that you are missing and it would be impossible to answer it without more details. My suggestion for whatever you are doing: go to radioshack and buy some LEDs that run on 5V or something similar.

Who is the inventor of blub?
the blub was invented by Mr James Blubington
A light blub has a resistance of 96.8 ohms What current flows through the bulb when it is connected to a 120 V source of energy?
V = I x R so 120/96.8 = 1.24 Amps.
What is an example of a series circuit?
Series circuits, I'm doing my junior cert science so this may be wrong, but I'm pretty sure an example would be Christmas lights. If one blows they all are extinguished, because they share the one current of electricity. Car lights are parallel circuits.... I can't think of another series one, but I hope I helped a bit.
