Electrical resistance is technically not the same as friction though one could be used as a model for the other.
Electrical resistance in a light bulb can be seen by the light that is emitted due to the heating of the filament when current is passed through it (electrical potential is transformed into heat).

Which has the thickest filament - a high-resistance or a low-resistance bulb?
A low resistance bulb has a thicker filament.
Is air resistance fluid friction?
At sub-sonic speeds, air resistance is fluid friction. At supersonic speeds, it is not.
Air resistance is a type of friction True or False?
Air- resistance is basically a type of friction between an object and the air
What is the resistance force?
Air resistance is a friction force, the flow of air over a surface will cause friction and produce drag. Thanks
Is friction resistance and air resistance the same?
No, Air resistance can be considered as a type of friction however, friction itself is considered to be the a force which opposes motion between two surfaces/substances. For example, A train travelling with a driving force of 500N Has 50N of air resistance acting on it and 75N of friction from the rails. They are considered to be separate.
How are air resistance and friction alike?
Air resistance is a type of fluid friction (along with water resistance) and is therefore is a type of friction.
Which has the thickest filament - a high-resistance or a low-resistance bulb?
A low resistance bulb has a thicker filament.
What is friction and what effects does it have on motion?
Friction is the sum of resistance to motion and as for resistance, it slow down the motion.
Is air resistance stronger than friction?
No. Its a form of friction.
What is moving resistance for vehicle?
Air friction, friction from the road
Is air resistance fluid friction?
At sub-sonic speeds, air resistance is fluid friction. At supersonic speeds, it is not.
Air resistance is a type of friction True or False?
Air- resistance is basically a type of friction between an object and the air
What is cold resistance?
That is e.g. the resistance of a cold bulb before the bulb is lighted and heats up.
What gives the biggest resistance 3 volt bulb or 6 volt bulb?
3 volt bulb gives the biggest resistance
How are friction and air resistance different?
air resistance is different from friction because friction is more than one thing because there is many different types of friction air restance is one of those types of friction.
How thickness of wire affects brightness of bulb?
Considering that everything else is equal, ie. glass, incoming wire. If you are talking only about the filament wire that is attached between the Two poles inside the bulb, the answer is friction. The thicker the wire the less resistance it will have and will allow more electricity to pass without creating friction, the friction is what causes the wire to heat up and glow.
What is the resistance force?
Air resistance is a friction force, the flow of air over a surface will cause friction and produce drag. Thanks
