Question #100256

Determine between 60 watt bulb and a 100 watt bulb which one is more powerful give reason

Expert's answer

The bulb of 100 watt is more powerful because it has more power. Power is the characteristics that describes how quick a job (work) can be done, because 1 watt equals 1 joule per second, or


P=Wt.P=\frac{W}{t}.

Thus, the first lamp can turn only 60 joules into heat and light within a second while the second bulb turns 100 joules into heat and light in 1 second.
