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

What does a circle with a v inside of it mean?
a cirlce with a v inside it means that its a volt meter
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.
How many watts are in 100 2.5 volt bulbs?
This question does is not answerable. A watt is a volt times an amp. With out knowing how many amps the bulbs use there is no answer.
Can you use 265 volt appliance on a 220 volt line?
Yes, the 265 volts is just the maximum the appliance can handle. You can use it on a 240 volt circuit.
How many watts can a 20 amp breaker handle per hour?
2.3 kw per hour on a 110-120 volt circuit.
30 amps on a 250 volt outlet can handle how many watts?
A 30 amp circuit on a 250 volt service could handle up to 7500 watts. That's if it's actually 250 volts coming in. You should check that with your meter.
Can you use a 130 volt light bulb in a 120 volt socket?
Yes, the 130 volts you read on the bulb is just the maximum it will handle. It will work perfectly in a 120 volt circuit.
How do you connect a volt to a circuit?
A volt can not be connected to a circuit.
How do you convert a German 220 volt chandelier to USA 110 volt?
If you want mood lighting just connect it as is, the brightness of the bulbs will be half. If you want full brightness change the bulbs to 120 volt with bulbs of the same wattage as the 220 volt bulbs.
Will a 12 volt bulb get hot?
Yes. Many 12 volt bulbs get very dangerously hot, for instance the 12 volt bulbs that are commonly used in vehicle headlights and in small 12 volt 50 watt overhead ceiling lights in homes.
How many 100 watt bulbs can a 110 volt on 100foot line?
17
How long does current remain in a 220 volt circuit?
The current will remain in a 220 volt circuit as long as the circuit load remains in the circuit and the circuit remains closed.
Can you use a 130 volt swimming pool light bulb in a 120 volt swimming pool socket?
Yes, the 130 volts you read on the bulb is the maximum it will handle. It will work perfectly on a 120 volt circuit and will actually last longer than a standard 120 volt bulb.
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.
