What are the two electromagnetic waves does your toaster use?
Toasters and incandescent (old fashioned) light bulbs are very similar devices.Both of them use electric current passing through a wire to make the wire emitheat and light. In the light bulb, we use the light, and the heat is a nuisance.In the toaster, we use the heat, and we don't much care about the light.

What is an example of a common technology that does not efficiently convert energy?

How are xenon bulbs different from normal light bulbs?
Xenon bulbs are much brighter than regular light bulbs. They are more expensive that normal light bulbs. this is partly because of the cost of xenon gas, but also because of the heat generated by the bulb that requires them to be housed in quartz instead of glass.
Compare the current in a 2 light bulbs wired in a series circuit?
Since the SAME electrons have to go through both light bulbs, the current in both light bulbs will be the same (Kirchhoff's current law).
What products use Variable resistor?
Toasters and lightbulbs.AnswerA resistor is an circuit component. So, while toasters and light bulbs have resistance, they are not resistors!
What element is in the heating element for toasters?
That would most likely be a nickel and chrome alloy. Light bulbs use tungsten.
What are the common light bulbs called?
Incandescent bulbs.
Why are wires with high resistance used in light bulbs and toasters?
High resistance wires convert the energy used, into heat. That makes the toaster heat up or the light to turn on.
What elements comprises a light bulb?
It depends on the type of bulb. Tungsten is the most common element in light bulbs. But there are neon based bulbs also
What bulbs go in a s-10?
Headlight bulbs, high and low beam, parking light bulbs, signal light bulbs, brake light bulbs, dash light bulbs, interior light bulbs, plate light bulbs, etc.
What is an element that is the gas in the light bulbs?
Argon or dry nitrogen are common fill gasses in high wattage bulbs. But low wattage bulbs are just vacuum with no fill.
What are incandescent light bulbs used for?
Incandescent light bulbs are the most common type of light bulb in the average home. Chances are, if you look up, you'll see one. They're used for just about everything. N.B.: The light bulbs that look like long tube are fluorescent, not incandescent.
Is xenon in light bulbs?
In some light bulbs.
Are light bulbs fragile?
why light bulbs are fragile
