"Watson A.Name - Watt Sun, Dark Remover"
Actually if you apply 240 volts to a 120 volt lamp the
current
will double for a short time till the lamp disintergrates.
Well, the current of a light bulb doesn't obey the straight line V-I
characteristic of a resistor. But yeah, the 120V light would
definitely burn out at 240VAC.
What you tried to say, but not very clearly, was that a 240
Mea culpa.
volt lamp designed
to produce 120 watts will take 1/2 the current a 120 volt
lamp will use
to produce 120 watts.
Very simple questions sometimes require very carefull
answers because
the questioner does not have a good understanding of the
subject
or he would not be asking the question.
