The discovery of the light bulb Finally the bell rings everybody running toward homeroom I take my time and pack my books away. We just watched a video about Virginia part of the 13 colonies back then in history class. Since I was the last one to leave my teacher Mrs.Trovato said “did you enjoy watching the video?”I quietly respond yes and start wondering about how people survived back then. When I came back from school I changed my skinny jeans and blouse in to my sweats and tank top. Quickly

imagine life without it is the light bulb. Thomas Alva Edison invented the light bulb in the year 1879. With the advancement in technology‚ today we have different types of light bulbs such as Incandescent‚ Halogen‚ Fluorescent‚ Compact Fluorescent Lamps‚ High-Intensity Discharge Lamps‚ Low-Pressure Sodium Lamps‚ LED (Light Emitting Diodes). The most common light bulbs that are generally used for household purposes are compact fluorescent and incandescent light bulbs. Incandescent lighting is very

DC Circuits: Electric Power PHY 114 Lab Report 10/09/2013 Abstract: The purpose of this experiment was to look at electric power dissipated in a load resistor in a circuit with a real power source‚ which has a finite internal resistance. We discover a surprising result about how to deliver the most power to a device from a source. Consider a simple circuit in which a battery of voltage drives a current through a resistor of resistance. As we have seen‚ the battery is continuously doing

In 1880‚ Thomas Alva Edison invented the incandescent light bulb and patented it. It’s an invention that has been around since the 1800’s. This invention has significantly‚ affected society by allowing the world to create a comfortable safe environment. Edison had come up with a 16-watt bulb that lasted for over 1‚500 hours. Edison’s light bulb needed improvements‚ and those improvements are the reason we have light bulbs today. The light bulb was invented by using a low current electricity‚ a small

been in the past‚ and the choices that they make today about the light bulbs in their homes can play an important role in the future of the environment. Light bulbs are an every day object in homes across the World today and range from the less energy efficient incandescent light bulbs (normal light bulbs)‚ the more energy efficient compact fluorescent light (CFL) bulbs‚ and the most energy efficient light emitting diode (LED) bulbs. In order to help save the environment people need to make the change

Efficiency of an Incandescent Light Bulb Alex Mendez November 4‚ 2008 Purpose: The purpose of this lab was to examine the conversion of electrical energy to light and thermal energy as well as the efficiency of incandescent light bulbs. Procedure: To design this experiment we need to have a jar with water‚ temperature‚ and an voltage source. First‚ we poured 200 mL of water into a beaker then poured into a cup. We then stir up the water and measured the initial temperature of

Making a Potato Powered Light Bulb Materials: A large potato Two pennies Two zinc-plated nails or screws Three pieces of copper wire A very small light bulb or LED light 1) Get a potato and cut it in half. Then make a small slit in each half just big enough to put a penny into. 2) Cut two pieces of copper wire and wrap one around one of the pennies a few times‚ and wrap the other one around the other penny a few times as well. 3) Take a third piece of copper
