At what voltage? Until you tell me the voltage I can't give you an answer.

To find out Amps you need to divide the Watts by the Volts.

At 120V you have 0.4 amps. At 12V you have 4 amps.

You could do so, but from safety perspectives it's better not to do so. A 50W bulb will draw a higher current from the grid, which the 45W fixture is not designed for, so it might break down.

The equation that you are looking for is Amps = Watts/Volts.

Can a light bulb work on a DC voltage?

It can, but if you're wanting to run a 120v light bulb on DC, you'll need 120v DC to get the rated output. That's a lot of batteries. It's easier, and more sensible, to find a DC rated light bulb, such as an RV bulb.

How many amps does in a 60 watt bulb draw?

Without knowing the voltage, I can not tell you how many amps a 60 watt light uses. If you have a 12 volt system in a car, then a 60 watt light will pull 5 amps. If you have a 120 volt system in a house, then a 60 watt light will pull 1/2 amp. If you have a 240 volt system in an industrial building, then a 60 watt light will pull 1/4 amp.


A 100-w light bulb is turned on it has an operating voltage of 120 V how much current flows through the bulb?

The formula you are looking for is I = W/E. Amps = Watts/Volts.
