Originally when Edison invented the bulb it was large insize, and gave more heat, now it has become smaller., and has less heat. and also now it is in every house in contrary to before when you had to rent them and you hooked them up instead of screwing them in like now

What did Thomas Edison contribute to the world?
Actually he did not invent the lightbulb, he only improved on it making it practical and inexpensive. His real impact on electrical technology was to invent the infrastructure (e.g. large generators, distribution grid, electric usage meters, fuse boxes, light switches, light sockets) needed to support those lightbulbs so that people could depend on them working when needed. The creation and maintenance of this infrastructure for the first time was of far greater significance than the invention of lightbulbs or his perfection of lightbulbs.
Can a light bulb cause fire?
Yes it can. If a light bulb breaks, the exposed filament will burn out within a couple of seconds and can ignite something with the spark when the filament breaks. Special bulbs can be made for explosive environments to minimize the risk of ignition, such as lighting at a refueling station. A light bulb can also be in close proximity to a combustible substance when it is operating and can cause a fire by making the combustible substance too hot. Florescent lights are less likely to cause fires because they run cooler and are safer in hazardous environments where a conventional light bulb would not be good. <<<>>> No. The filament will burn out in milliseconds not seconds and not enough time to ignite anything in a normal atmosphere. Special bulbs are not made for explosive environments it is the fixture that the bulb goes into that have the explosion proof rating. Fluorescent lamps in hazardous environments again are protected by the fixture that they are installed into. If the light bulb breaks the filament will be exposed to oxygen in the air and burn itself open. It is when the light bulb is in close proximity to a combustible substance when it is operating, that a fire hazard becomes a reality.

What is a rocker arm in a DC motor and what will happen if the rocker arm connections are changed?
A rocker arm holds a carbon brush. In other words it is a carbon brush holder. Changing over the rocker arm connections is the same as changing over the armature connections and will make a DC motor turn in the reverse direction assuming that the magnetic orientation of the motor's field stays the same.More detailDC motor having a field windingIf the stator's field is created by a field winding and that winding's connections are changed over at the same time as the armature's connections are changed over, then the DC motor's direction of rotation will be the same as before.If the stator's field is created by a field winding and that winding's connections are not changed over at the same time as the the armature's connections are changed over, then the DC motor will turn in the reverse direction.DC Motor having a field created by a permanent magnetIf the stator's magnetic field is created by a permanent magnet and the orientation of that magnet is reversed at the same time that the armature connections are changed over, then the DC motor's direction of rotation will be the same as before.If the stator's magnetic field is created by a permanent magnet and the orientation of that magnet is not reversed at the same time as the armature connections are changed over, then the DC motor will turn in the reverse direction.
Element used in light bulb filament?
That depends on the bulb, and the time frame. The first bulbs had carbon filaments. Certain bulbs used in control devices have iridium filaments. Modern grocery store incandescent bulbs have tungsten filaments.Tungsten, because of its very high melting point.

How often do fluorescent lights have to be changed?
Depending on the size of the light and how it is used, a fluorescent light can have a lifespan of anywhere from 8,000 to 30,000 hours. Fluorescent lights tend to lose their brightness over time, so it is recommended to change the light bulb before it burns out completely.
