Tungsten is a good conductor of electricity. If it was a poor conductor and highly resistive then electricity would never pass through it as a filament inside a light bulb, therefore, it would never glow.

∙ 9y agoYes, tungsten is considered a good conductor of heat. Metals are known as good conductors of heat, and since tungsten is a metal, it can also conduct heat well.
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoAll metals, including Titanium, are good conductors of both heat and electricity.
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoThere is a lot of resistance in tungsten filament, so as it will conduct, it is not a good conductor. The part of a toaster that heats up and turns red is tungsten.

Is a light bulb an insulator or conductor?
It is a conductor, but the filament is a resistor : as current flows through the filament, some of the energy is released as heat and light.
The difference between a good conductor and a good insulator?
A good insulator means a bad conductor. It is the opposite of good conductor.
Is gold a good conductor or a good insulator?
Gold is a good conductor of electricity.
Is the filament a good approximation of a black body?
no
Is ceramic a bad conductor of heat?
Why is glass a good conductor of heat and ceramic is not a good conductor of heat?

What should be the conductor of the curcuit so the filament doesn't melt?
Tungsten
Is a light a conductor or a insulator?
Light bulb is itsef composed of many parts like filament wire and external casing of glass. Among which current flowes through the tugasten filament wire which is a 'conductor' of high resistance.

What is a filament resistor?
A filament bulb resistor is the common type of light bulb. It contain a thin coil wire called filament. It produces light as a result. It is made mainly from the element tungsten. The metle tungsten has very high melting point and it is a good conductor of electric current
What is the filament purpose?
If you are asking about a light bulb, the threadlike conductor, often of tungsten, that is heated to incandescence by the passage of current
Is Magnesium Chloride a good conductor?
Magnesium chloride is a good conductor if melted or dissolved in an ionization promoting solvent; as a solid it is not a good conductor.
The difference between a good conductor and a good insulator?
A good insulator means a bad conductor. It is the opposite of good conductor.
Why is a copper wire not used to make filaments of electric bulbs?
Because the filament is in effect a resistor. Copper is too good a conductor to provide resistance to the current, and would simply allow the current to complete the circuit. The light is generated by the filament glowing as it heats up in resistance to the current. Tungsten is a much better resistor.
Is silver a conductor or a insulator?
it is a conductor as all other metals and the gold is also good conductor as silver!!!
Is milk a good heat conductor?
No, milk is not a good conductor.
What is an element that is not a good conductor and good isolator?
It is a semi conductor
