Which is more powerful a torch bulb or a mains filament lamp?
Mains filament
What type of light contains a filament?
All kinds of incandescent lamp, and all types of light bulb contains filament. But there are several kinds of filament applied each type of light bulb.
What is filament transformer?
In vacuum tube devices, one electrode of the tube (the filament) needs low voltage at relatively high current, while another one (the plate) needs a high voltage at relatively low current. It's hard to build a single power supply to provide both of these, so the filament is usually supplied from its own separate transformer. Nobody has worried about things like this since a short time after transistors came along.
What is the wire that gives off light in a light bulb?
In an incandescent light bulb the wire that gives off the light is called the Filament.
What is the filament in lights?
Filament is a thin part of incandescent bulb which is the source of electric light that electric current passes through and heated it until it produce light.
What is filament shaped into?
Bulb's filament are wounded into a coil.
What is filament in a bulb?
The filament is the small coil that glows when the bulb is on. I believe its made out of tungsten
What is the coil of the wire called in a light?
element Filament
Why do light bulbs have the coil in the middle?
That is the filament. Electricity traveling through the filament heats it to the point of glowing brightly - that is the light bulbs "light".
What is filament of a light bulb?
It's the small coil of very fine tungsten wire that glows white hot.
What is the filament of a light bulb?
It's the small coil of very fine tungsten wire that glows white hot.
What part of a light bulb is the filament?
It's the small coil of very fine tungsten wire that glows white hot.
What is the thin coil of wire inside a light bulb called?
If you are talking about an incandescent light bulb then its called a filament. It is thin so that it has a high level of resistance. Current going through the filament causes it to heat up and give off EM radiation in the spectrum of visible light.
What are the parts of a light bulb called?
The globe is the outer glass shell. The shaped coil inside is the filament. Wires and the stem support the filament inside the bulb. There are gases within the light bulb to prevent it from burning out. And the base is to securely support the bulb.
What is a filament resistor?
A filament bulb resistor is the common type of light bulb. It contain a thin coil wire called filament. It produces light as a result. It is made mainly from the element tungsten. The metle tungsten has very high melting point and it is a good conductor of electric current
What supports the anther?
The Filament
What is a light bulb wire made out of?
A light bulb is made out of three items. A filament produces the light, glass gives the light bulb shape and controls the brightness, and the base allows the bulb to be placed in a socket.
