The principle behind those glowing orbs throughout your house is one of the most simplistic of science and circuitry. If you provide a source of energy to an able filament it will glow. Whether your source is the AC current running through your home or DC current provided by a battery, it will still yield the same result.

with great difficulty. You'll need either a dc/dc converter or an inverter to step up the voltage, or a battery with a enough cells to reach a matching voltage.

To attach a bulb to a battery you have to use a lamp holder. Connect the lamp holder to the battery and then screw the bulb into the lamp holder.

Can a car battery light up a 60 watt regular light bulb with out using a power inverter?

Yes it it is a 12 volt DC light bulb. It will not operate a household 120 volt light bulb.


How do you make a light bulb light up using a 1.5 volt battery?

If it is a 1.5 volt bulb you can connect it through a series circuit directly to your battery. If the bulb is not made to run on 1.5 volts and needs another voltage, it may not light up!


Does a 9 volt battery light a light bulb?

Yes, for about .1 second, then it will blow the lamp. A 9v battery will however light three 3.5v lamps.


How many light bulbs can a 6 volt battery light up?

If the type of light bulb you are using was made to run on 1.5 volts, a 1.5 volt battery should be able to light up one or several of those types if they are each wired in parallel directly across the 1.5 volt battery.If the type of light bulb you are using was made to run on 0.75 volts, a 1.5 volt battery will light up two or more of those types if they are wired in pairs in series across the battery.If the type of light bulb you are using was made to run on, say, 3.0 volts, a 1.5 volt battery will not light it up very much - it may just glow dimly.If the type of light bulb you are using was made to run on any voltage higher than, let's say 5 volts - for instance a standard 120 volt household bulb - then your 1.5 volt battery will not be able to light one of those up at all.Another answerYou can wire any number of 1.5v bulbs in parallel, but for each one you add you will draw more current. Draw too much current and the battery will get hot and may explode, depending on what it is made of.How long the battery will be able to keep the light bulbs lit will depend on the size of the battery, meaning how much charge it can hold. (Its capacity in amp.hours.)

Is 12 volt is enough for a 100 watt light bulb?

12 volts is enough for a 12-volt 100-watt light bulb. It would not be enough for a 120-volt or 240-volt bulb.


Does a 62 volkswagen need a 12 volt battery or a 6?

The 1964 VW Beetle came from the factory with a 6 volt electrical system. Unless it has been upgraded to a 12 volt system you would need a 6 volt battery. I would recommend you check the voltage of the current battery with a volt meter. If there is no battery in the vehicle, just remove a light bulb and check the voltage written on the bulb.


What kind of battery can power a 40 watt light bulb?

If the bulb is a 40 watt, 120v bulb, you would need 20 6 volt batteries wired in series, or 80 (!) 1.5 volt batteries. 1.5 volt batteries are AAA, AA, C, D, etc. Since this solution is rather extravagant, try finding a light bulb made for an RV. These typically run off of 12 volts, and you can get a single 12 volt battery, or 2 6 volt batteries, to run this bulb.


How do you build a light bulb?

Picture hanging wire 1 strand connected to a 6 volt battery!


How do you know whether to get 120 volt or 130 volt light bulb?

If you want your bulbs to last longer then use 130 volt bulb on a 120 volt system. The light emitted by a 130 volt bulb, when comparing it to a 120 volt bulb, will be a bit dimmer.


What is the battery life of a 9 volt battery on a 3.5 volt of a bulb?

The battery life (assuming it is a primary cell) is determined by the Ampere-hour drawn from it. You cannot connect a 3.5V bulb directly to a 9V battery. The bulb will fuse.
