When electricity runs through light bulb what other type of energy is produced?

Light, heat, sometimes sound.


What is most of the energy produced by a light bulb?

Most of the energy in a light bulb is heat energy.


What happen to an electric current after it passes through each bulb?

There is a piece of filament in every light bulb, which has so much friction that when the electric current passes through it, heat energy is produced. This heat energy is then converted to light energy.


What form of energy had been produced when we are using a light bulb?

Heat and Light energy


What are the types of energy produced by a burning light bulb?

Light , which is useful Heat , which is NOT useful.


Does an incandescent bulb produce more heat than a fluorescent bulb?

Yes, because incandescent bulbs uses a resistive element which glows up to give out light. The force which opposes the flow of current through the filament wire causes more heat to be produced by the bulb.In the fluorescent bulb, noble gases are used and because these do not react to any force, less heat is produced. Though some amount of heat is produced by the end electrodes of the bulb.ANSWER: An incandescent bulb uses electricity to light the filament. Heat is the result. In a fluorescent light, argon and mercury are excited by an electrical charge and the result is light. The light is the same as a black light and if the bulb was not coated with phosphorus, white light would not be visible.


When energy runs through a light bulb what kind of energy does the light bulb produce?

A light bulb uses electrical energy, and produces light, as well as heat.


What energy is produced from the light bulb?

Light, of course, since that's what the light bulb is designed to produce. There is also waste energy, as heat, and (to a small extent) as sound.


What are the effects of a light bulb?

The effect of a light bulb is to release light, and heat. By running an electrical current (110-120V in US) through a filament inside a vacuum bulb. You get the desired effect of light along with heat as well. Different coatings and types of lighting have been produced over the years. Such as Flourescent, Metalhalide, High pressure sodium, incandescent. Each is specified for different applications but the effect of these are generally the same light and heat.


What types of energies are produced by a light bulb as it burns?

Mostly heat - with a secondary release of electromagnetic radiation (that's the light).


What are the advantages and disadvantages of a fluorescent light bulb?

The fluorescent light bulb more efficiently converts electricity to light resulting in less heat produced. But in winter, heat being produced is not exactly a bad thing. Besides, fluorescent light bulbs are more expensive and have heavy metals in them, making them more toxic.


How is nitrogen used in light bulbs?

because if we will fill any other gas in bulb when it will come in contact with heat produced by bulb it will burst
