That is the result of resistance in the wire. In energy terms, some of the energy in the electric current is converted into heat.

What is electrical energy converted into when electric current flows through the metal filament of a light bulb?
Electrical energy is converted into light and heat when electric current flows through the metal filament of a light bulb.
When electric current flows through the metal filament of light bulb electric energy is converted to?
Heat and light.
Is the amount of current that flows in the wire of electric circuit the same as the current that flows in the filament of the light connected in that circuit?
yes
How does an electric current produce light?
By heating a metal wire called a filament. In a light bulb (lamp) the electric current flows through a tungsten filament which glows white hot giving off light.
Why does the light bulb not work when the filament is broken?
A light bulb works by passing an electric current through the filament, which is usually made from a high resistance substance such as tungsten. When the current flows through, the filament glows which produces the light. When it burns out, no electricity passes and no glowing occurs. Source: i just know
When a electric current flows through a wire it creates a?
When an electrical current flows through a wire it creates what is called an Electro Magnetic Field.A magnetic field is create when an electric current flows through a wire.
Is a filament of a light bulb glows when an electric current flows through it is a chemical change?
It is a physical change brought about by the exitation of molecules producing heat and light. A general rule of thumb is that a physical change can be repeated on an article and chemical change cannot. Remove the current from a filament and it is still a filament.
What happens to the energy when you turn on an electric lamp?
Electricity flows through the filament, resistance in the filament causes heat and light energy to be created.
What is a magnet created when electric current flows through a coil of wire?
A magnet created when electric current flows through a coil of wire is called an electromagnet.
What flows through an electric circuit?
An electrical current.
What is a path through which electric current flows?
"circuit"
How do you use Electric Current in a sentence?
Here are a few examples... - The electrical current is monitored. - The current of electricity is measured in volts. - The electrical current of telephone wiring is 82 volts. They may not be worded the same, but they have the same initial meaning.
