Well it is according to faraday's laws of electromagnetic induction. Whenever a coil rotates in a magnetic field,magnetic flux passing through the coil will get changed, and faradays first law states that whenever there is a change in magnetic flux linked with the coil, a emf is induced in it. So due to this emf bulb will light up. Well if you want the change in flux to be explained in more general way I can explain it like this: Suppose it is raining and you have kept a bucket to accumulate the rain water in it. Initially keep the bucket vertical, so maximum amount of rain water will drop into bucket. Now start tilting the bucket, the waterdrops entering the bucket will start decreasing. now make the bucket horizontal, so now no drop will enter into the bucket. So number of water drops entering the bucket depends on inclination of bucket. Here rainddrop is similar to magnetic flux and bucket is similar to coil. So as you rotate the coil, flux linked with the coil changes.

When two light bulbs are connected in series the?

When two light bulbs are connected in series , there is voltage drop which causes the second lamp to dimAnswerWhen two lamps are connected in series, neither lamp will be subject to its rated voltage and, so, each lamp will be dim. Surprisingly, perhaps, the lamp with the higher power will be dimmer than the lamp with the lower power!


Principle of operation of UV lamp?

A fluorescent lamp or fluorescent tube is a gas-discharge lamp that uses electricity to excite mercury vapor. The excited mercury atoms produce short-wave ultraviolet light that then causes a phosphor to fluoresce, producing visible light. A fluorescent lamp converts electrical power into useful light more efficiently than an incandescent lamp. Lower energy cost typically offsets the higher initial cost of the lamp. The lamp is more costly because it requires a ballast to regulate the flow of current through the lamp.


Where does the light go when the light goes out?

Since darkness is the absence of light it does not disappear it is just filled by light. If you have a room that light by a lamp, when you turn off the lamp the remaining light particles called photons are absorbed by the walls and the room goes dark


When was Lamp of Invisible Light created?

Lamp of Invisible Light was created on 2011-05-23.


What happens to the energy when you turn on an electric lamp?

Electricity flows through the filament, resistance in the filament causes heat and light energy to be created.

Why choke coil is used in tube light?

To limit the current through the lamp when the gas ionises and conducts.


What happens when a light bulb is connected to the output coil of the transformer?

Assuming that the voltage rating of the lamp matches the rated secondary voltage of the transformer, the lamp will operate at its rated power.


Which one is correct by the light of the lamp or in the light of the lamp?

Both are acceptable with different meaning. I read by the light of the lamp means I use the lamp to light the pages so that I can read them. I saw it in the light of the lamp means it was visible in that pool of light caused by the lamp.


A lamp transforms electrical energy into what?

Mostly heat, but that heat causes a filament to glow, which makes light.

How does an ice cube relay work?

The relay is used to "interlock" a circuit. It consists of a coil and a number of auxiliary "normally open" or "normally closed" contacts. A limiting condition is wired through the coil contacts and resulting conditions are wired through the auxiliary contacts. When the limiting condition is met, the coil will pull in and change the state of the auxiliary contacts. For example, if you want a lamp (lamp 1) to turn off when a second lamp (lamp 2) is turned on, lamp 1 would be wired through a "normally closed" set of contacts and lamp 2 would be wired through the coil contacts. When lamp 2 is turned on, the coil will pull in and open the "normally closed" contact for lamp 1, turning it off.


How would you know if it is the coil or the pick up module with a no start no spark condition 93 geo electronic ign?

Generally assume it's the coil as that device runs hot and at very high voltages. Take a small 12V DC light, solder some wires to it. Connect one lead of the lamp to the coil low voltage lead going to the coil. Connect the other side to ground and crank the engine. If the lamp flickers or flashes it's a bad coil. If the lamp stays on put the ungrounded lead on the other low voltage post and re-test. If it flashes then its the coil, still no flash at crank and it's the pickup.


When you turn on a lamp and the light bulb becomes warm which energy conversion causes this heating of the light bulb?

Electrical energy absorbed by the lamp's filament produces thermal energy as well as light.

Should both sides of a Honda coil be hot?

No, one should be positive and the other would be grounded through the electronics. If your testing the leads with a test lamp both sides will light up the test light because one side is hot and the other side you are providing the ground with the test lamp causing the light to illuminate.
