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.
What else can I help you with?
Why is a light bulb not on when a switch is not closed?
A closed switch completes the electrical circuit, allowing current to flow through the light bulb and generate light. If the switch is not closed, there is an open circuit, meaning the current cannot flow and the light bulb does not turn on.
A type of circuit that allows the light bulb to turn on?
a closed circuit
How does a simple circuit with a battery and a light bulb work?
In a simple circuit with a battery and a light bulb, the battery provides electrical energy that flows through the wires to the light bulb. The electrical energy causes the filament in the light bulb to heat up and emit light. This process continues as long as the circuit remains closed and the battery has power.
Why does a light bulb light in a closed circuit?
A bulb does not light up if there is no voltage available across the bulb, or if the bulb is burned out.
What causes the bulb to light in a closed circuit?
In a closed circuit, electrical current flows from the power source through the wires, through the bulb, and back to the power source. When the current reaches the filament inside the bulb, it heats up and emits light, causing the bulb to light up.
What seems to be making the light bulb turn on in your circuit?
The light bulb in the circuit turns on due to the flow of electric current, which is facilitated by a closed circuit. When the switch is closed, it completes the circuit, allowing electrons to move from the power source through the bulb, causing it to emit light. The resistance in the bulb converts electrical energy into light and heat, resulting in illumination.
When the switch is closed which light bulb will light light bulb 1 2 or 3?
It depend on where the switch is located in the circuit.
Is a free flowing path an example of a closed circuit?
It is a closed circuit if there is a load in the circuit (light bulb etc), otherwise it is a short circuit (+ to - on a car battery with a screwdriver)
A complete what is needed to make a bulb light up?
To make a light bulb light up, you need a closed electrical circuit. This circuit typically consists of a power source (such as a battery or outlet), wires to carry the electricity, and the light bulb itself. When the circuit is complete and electricity flows through the bulb, it will produce light.
Why will a bulb not light if a switch is open in a circuit?
It will not work because it has to be closed so the electricity can go to the bulb.
What must be true for a circuit to light a bulb?
For a circuit to light a bulb, there must be a closed loop for the flow of electricity. This loop typically consists of a power source (e.g. battery), wires, a switch, and the bulb. When the switch is closed, the circuit is complete and electricity can flow through the wires to the bulb, causing it to light up.
Based on what you have seen what must be true for a circuit to light a bulb?
There must be a current through the bulb in order for it to glow.
