The part of a light bulb that is a poor conductor so that the friction causes it to light up and glow?
That part of a light bulb that causes light to light up is called the filament, and it is typically made from tungsten.
What does a light bulb have to do with an electrical light source?
A light bulb is a source of electric light. In an incandescent light bulb, the glass bulb forms a protective shield around a glowing filament. The air inside the glass bulb is removed, or replaced with an inert gas. Electric current is passed through a thin metal filament (usually tungsten), which causes it to glow white hot, giving out light. The protective bulb stops the filament from burning up, as it has no Oxygen.
What causes the bulb to light in a closed circuit?
Energy flowing through the filament. In a traditional incandescent bulb most of the energy is radiated as heat which is why they are viewed as inefficient.
Why do you have a light bulb?
Light bulb provide electrical light.
What causes an emission line 777NM?
light from flourescent light bulbs causes emission lines and the gas inside the bulb is cold leading straps of colors to come into appearance through a telescope. -chakshu
What causes a light bulb not to work?
Bad bulb, no power, no ground.
The part of a light bulb that is a poor conductor so that the friction causes it to light up and glow?

Because when a light bulb is tightened the stuff inside squashes then snaps, causing it to blow.
What causes the neutral light to stop working on a ATV?
broken bulb
What heats the wire of a light bulb?
When electricity passes through the wire of a light bulb, the resistance in the wire causes it to heat up through a process called Joule heating. This heating effect causes the wire to reach such high temperatures that it emits light and produces illumination in the bulb.
How does a dry cell make a lightbulb light?
When electric current flows through filament of the bulb, the electrons are squased among themselves due to the thin structure of the bulb. This causes them to emit light. Due to the gases filled in the light bulb, the bulb glows.
