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.


What does the slope of the graph of photoelectric current versus intensity signify in the photoelectric effect?

The current rises as does the intensity of light detected. The more light the greater the intensity, and the greater the current. The answer to the question is that photoelectric current displayed on a graph is shown as a slope that varies with the intensity of light. Someimes it can go up, sometimes it can go down.The ultimate answer is that the photoelectric effect is unreliable, but it is improving!


Can the current in a electrical circuit be increased by bulbs?

Yes. In normal house wiring, every time you plug in any lamp or appliance, you will increase the amount of current ("amperes" or just "amps") that you draw. The circuit breakers or fuses in your house's electrical box are there to keep you from plugging so many things in that the wire gets hot enough to cause a fire. Just to be clear however, the light bulbs do not create current. They pull current through themselves. Bulbs (and all other electrical devices) pull electrical current in the same way that opening the water valve on your sink pulls a flow of current of water. Your house's electrical service can be thought of as a water hose with the end plugged up. Whenever you let a little of the water flow out (i.e. ... turn on a light bulb) you create a current of water (an electrical current in the case of our light bulb).


A battery lighting a bulb is an example of?

Do that on your kitchen table, and right there before your eyes, you have . . . -- a series electrical circuit -- electric current -- a magnetic field (around the wire; you can't see it) -- power dissipation -- conversion of chemical energy into electrical energy -- conversion of electrical energy into heat and light -- electromagnetic radiation in the infrared and visible bands


How do electrical testers work?

An electrical tester is tool used to check if a wire is producing an electrical current. Usually you will just hold it to the end of a wire, if an electrical current is being "induced" a light will glow on the tester, this is a live wire.
