How many people have a light bulb in America?
alot
Which has a higher resistance a 5w lamp bulb or a 25w lamp bulb and how many times?
As per the formula for power (Power (Watt) = Voltage (V) x Current (i) & Resistance (R) = V / i), 25w lamp bulb would have higher resistance compared to that of 5w lamp bulb.
What is the purpose of a three way light bulb?
The three way light bulb has two filaments with one common pin. The common pin is connected to the shell of the base, while the other pins are at the center and the ring. The three way fixture then provides four positions; neither, one, the other, or both of the filaments receiving power. This way you can adjust the brightness. Maximum power is always the sum of the other two power settings; such as 50-100-150, 30-70-100, etc. Also, a very common light bulb which has two filaments is used in the "stop and tail" lamps on cars, trucks and many other vehicles. Its two filaments are: 5 watts for the tail light function and 21 watts for the stop light (or turn signal) function. Each filament is connected to its own separate pin inside the insulated center of the shell of the base of the bulb. From there, via the bulb holder, the 5 watt filament is connected to the light switch which connects it to the positive side of the battery for the tail light function. Similarly the 21 watt filament is connected to the stop light switch - operated by the brake pedal - which connects it to the positive side of the battery for the stop light function. The other side of each filament is connected directly to the metal shell, so the shell is the common connection point to the negative side of the battery. Some of the newer versions of this bulb have a plug in base with four terminals, of which two are common, making it impossible to mis-socket this bulb.
What new inventions excited the public in the 1800s and how were they used?
A new invention from the Second Industrial Revolution that excited the public was the electric light bulb invented by Thomas Edison. And when George Westinghouse built a power system, which made electricity to travel from many miles away, electricity spread to many homes, businesses, and factories.
