Can I have 120 volts at the light fixture but the light won't turn on I have checked the wiring and changed the light?

If you have 120 v at the wires connecting to the light fixture the light should come on. Its possible the voltage is not getting to the inside of the socket. Carefully measure the voltage between the metal blip at the bottom of the socket and the metal along the sides. Be careful here. Its tight quarters and easy for the voltmeter leads to touch the wrong things. Before doing that I would try a third light bulb. I've gotten them bad right out of the package. If you have voltage inside the socket, then for some reason the light bulb is not screwing far enough down so the bottom touches that metal blip on the bottom of the socket. If you don't have voltage inside the socket then that's your problem and you'll need a new socket.


How do you remove and check wiring in a wall socket?

A couple of thing come into play here. If the fuse you found is 2.5 amps and the voltage is not higher that 125 volts, then it can be used if it fits in the fuse holder.

What will be the voltage across two parallel conneted batteries of 10 volts and 5 volts?

15 voltsThe result would only be 15 volts if they were connected in series. If in parallel, a 10v and a 5v battery would probably come out with a voltage of either 10 volts or 7.5 volts, there's no way to tell for sure though.


Can you use 240 volts of power on a Mac?

Yes; all Mac laptops come pre-built to work worldwide (100-240 Volts), so the only thing you may have to change is the prongs (duckhead) of your power adapter so that it fits into the socket of your country. A Mac desktop typically doesn't come with the same "power brick" adapter, so you should read the documentation included with your Mac to find out if it is a model that supports a range of voltages, or if you need to purchase a plug converter at an electronics store.
