Blown Lightbulbs

[Whickerman]

If you've a blown lightbulb, and the switch is in the 'on' position, does the circuit still use electricity?

oh just got it pmsl

[Mortartube]

No. There has to be a complete circuit to use electricity. A blown lightbulb breaks the circuit so no power is used.

is this a serious question ?


thats like saying does it use power when turned off.

[littlemissta]

we could always have a sensible debate like does turning up the volume on your radio use more electricity?????

[chakka35]

Yes, of course it does, littlemissta. You can't get something for nothing. More sound energy must mean more energy drawn from battery or mains.
