Best Answer

To answer this question, you need to know how many amps the circuit that is connected to the light bulb can handle. For home applications with a 15 amp circuit and no other loads connected you get:

Power = Current * voltage,

Substituting the known information yields:

power = 15 amps * 110 volts, which is 1650 watts of total capacity.

You have 100 watt bulbs, so: 1650/100 = 16.5 bulbs

If your circuit is other than 15 amps, or if there is additional loads on the circuit, you must adjust the current or total capacity accordingly

Are joules greater than volts?

A joule is a unit of energy. A volt is an electrical unit of voltage (sometimes called electromotive force). 1 joule = (1 Coulomb of electric charge) x (1 volt). A Coulomb of charge is the charge equivalent of 6.242 x 1018 electrons.


Why is aluminum difficult to weld?

Aluminum is a bit more difficult to weld than steel , because of it's lower melting point. Also Aluminum takes more heat , because of it's property of absorbing and releasing the heat quicker. With the proper electrode , or rod , and amps to volt settings, along with a bit of practise , it can be quite simple . One usually has to have a faster travel speed with the filler rod or electrode.


Function of Zero Ohm Adjust Control?

The Zero Ohms Adjusting Knob on the Multi Tester ToolThe VOM (Volt-Ohm Meter) is type of measuring equipment used for reading the three major properties of electricity which are the Voltage, Current and Resistance. This tool typically has a huge rotating knob on the middle part which allows you to select the type of electrical property that you would like to measure. At the bottom part are the two probes differentiated with Red and Black color. The Red probe denotes the positive terminal while Black for the negative terminal.Now, you might be wondering about the other smaller rotating knob just above the huge selector which is labeled as Zero Ohm. This adjusting knob only concerns about resistance. It doesn't have any effect when the primary selector is set for Voltage and Current.

30 amps on a 250 volt outlet can handle how many watts?

A 250 volt outlet with 30 amps can handle up to 7500 watts (250V x 30A = 7500W) of power. This calculation is based on the formula Watts = Volts x Amps.


Can you use 265 volt appliance on a 220 volt line?

Using a 265-volt appliance on a 220-volt line can be risky and may damage the appliance, cause a short circuit, or result in a safety hazard. It is recommended to use voltage converters or transformers to ensure safe operation of the appliance.


Can you use a 130 volt swimming pool light bulb in a 120 volt swimming pool socket?

No, it is not recommended to use a 130-volt bulb in a 120-volt socket as it can lead to potential safety hazards. The bulb may burn out prematurely, overheat, or cause damage to the socket and wiring. Always use the recommended voltage bulbs for your light fixtures.


When using a 9 volt battery on a closed circuit with 2 light bulbs how many volts are used to light each bulb?

Each light bulb will receive the full 9 volts from the battery in a series circuit, so each bulb will be operating on 9 volts.


Can a 120 volt appliance run on a 110 volt circuit?

Yes. Circuits in a home are 120 volts but people tend to call them 110 volt circuits. The 120 volts you read on the appliance is the maximum voltage the appliance can handle. The actual voltage you will read at any outlet will range from 110 to 120 volts.


Is a map of a circuit a volt?

A map of a circuit is not a volt. A map of a circuit is referred to as a schematics chart. The schematics chart details the path of the circuit, from beginning to end.


Is 24 voltage a lot?

It depends on the use it is being put to. It is sufficient for a 24 volt circuit. Too much for a 12 volt circuit and too little for a 240 volt circuit.


Can I Replace 2.5 volt Christmas bulb with 3.5 volt bulb?

NO! There are 50 bulbs in a 2.5 volt string or 125 volts. There are 35 bulbs in a 3.5 volt string or 122.5 volts. If you put 50 3.5 volt bulbs in you will have 175 volts and most american house have 110 volt service so you will have dim bulbs.
