What element is in filaments?
tungston tungston
What property does tungsten have that make it suitable for making filament?
the reason that tungsten is better then carbon for light filaments is because the melting point is higher,. the melting point of carbon is only 3550, as where tungstens melting point is 3695
Which element is used in the filaments in incandescent lamps?
Tungsten.More informationExperiments were made with different materials to use as the filament, including natural fibres, pure metals and alloys of different metals, to find the material which had the longest life whilst glowing brightly enough to give out visible light. The metal Tungsten was found to be the best, because of its high melting point (almost 3700 K) and good resistance to electrical current.
Which metal has a melting point of over 3000 degrees celsius is used to make light bulb filaments?
The filament wire of an incandescent light bulb is a tightly-coiled wire made from Tungsten. Before it is coiled up it is long and thin.The element is always supported on two stronger wires made of another kind of metal which can withstand the intense heat inside the bulb.Another answerThere are many different kinds of light bulbs that use other metals! Just to name a few: Mercury(Hg), Tungsten(W), Sodium(Na).Tungestun
Why do you use tungsten in electric bulbs for lighting?
heloooFilaments in incandescent light bulbs in particular need to: - remain solid at high temperatures (2000 ~ 3500K) - glow brightly when heated to the above temperatures through electric current - can do the previous action many times before it fails Tungsten is able to do those things listed above. Moreover, Tungsten has the highest melting temperature of all metals (and the second highest for an element). In this application, tungsten has been shown to outlast other possible filaments, as well as glow brighter than the original carbon filament Edison used

Which element is used in the filaments of household light bulbs?
usually tungsten
What element makes up the filaments in light bulbs?
It is usually Tungsten.
Why is tungsten metal used in filaments of light bubls?
It is a part of a bulb
Why do people have tunsten in their homes?
Tungsten? I believe they still make light bulb filaments out of tungsten because of it's strength and resistivity.

Tungsten is the most common today.
