what happens if we give 220 volts dc supply to the bulb or tube light?

1 Answer

Answer :

A:Bulbs [devices] for AC are designed to operate such that it offers high impedance to AC supply. Normally they have low resistance. When DC supply is applied, due to low resistance, the current through lamp would be so high that it may damage the bulb element. Low dc voltage will not damage the appliances

Description : Two bulbs of 100w and 40w respectively are connected in series across a 230v supply which bulb will glow bright and why?

Last Answer : A:Since two bulbs are in series they will get equal amount of electrical current but as the supply voltage is constant across the bulb(P=V^2/R).So the resistance of 40W bulb is greater and voltage across 40W is more (V=IR) so 40W bulb will glow brighter.
