Question

How many grandfather clocks could you power with the same amount of power as is used by a single light bulb?

Answer 1

You can power 6-10 grandfather clocks with the same amount of power as a single light bulb.

Step-by-step explanation:

To figure out how many grandfather clocks you can power with the same amount of power as a single light bulb, we need to compare the power ratings of the two devices. A typical light bulb uses around 60-100 watts of power, while a grandfather clock requires very little power as it is mainly mechanical and relies on the potential energy stored in the weights and pendulum. Assuming a grandfather clock uses 10 watts of power, you can power 6-10 grandfather clocks with the same amount of power as a single light bulb.

Answer 2

Yes we can run almost three lakhs of the grandfather clocks to run a single light bulb .

Step-by-step explanation:

• Yes we can run almost three lakhs of the grandfather clocks to run a single light bulb .
• In simple words, power can be defined as the work done by the time and the SI unit of the power is Joules per second.
• For example in the case of the light bulb, the Incandescent light bulb takes 60 watts per hour.
• For example in the case of the clocks, the modern clocks use between 1 and 2 watts power.
