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.
Why is a copper wire in a closed circuit does not get heated but a nichrome does?
this is because copper wire offers no resistance and thus electric current passes through them without producing heat energy whereas in nichrome offers a large resistance and thus the mechanical energy of the drifting electrons changes to heat energy rapidly .
When electric current is passed through a strong solution of brine then what will happen?
the water will be heated and electrolysed to give hydrogen and oxygen gases
When current passes why copper wire does not get heated while the bulb gets heated?
copper wire is good conductor of heat but bulb is bad conductor of heat.
What is light produced by?
A filament is heated by an electric current and photons are emitted.
What is light produced?
A filament is heated by an electric current and photons are emitted.
What is incandescent light bulb?
An incandescent light bulb, incandescent lamp or incandescent light globe is an electric light which produces light with a wire filament heated to a high temperature by an electric current passing through it, until it glows.
How electric cooker works?
Electric cookers work through conduction. The electric burner is heated up and a pot or pan is placed against it. This contact allows for conduction and the content in the pot is heated in the same way.
What is the functions of a filament in an electric bulb?
To produce the light. When it gets heated, it glows.
Why the water gets heated when current is passed through carbon rods in it?
The carbon rods have electrical resistance. Thisi causes them to heat when current is passed through them. The water gets heated by the carbon rods.
If the two metals copper and zinc are heated then what happens?
when copper and zinc are heated, they create brass :)
What is an incandascent lamp?
Your standard light bulb where a filament is heated by a current passing through it. The heated filament then gives off light.
