The part of the wire that actually produces all the heat and light is the "filament".
the wire in your light bulb is a resistor :)

Filament
Its a coiled tungsten filament.
the inside of a light bulb is called the filament
first of all, you need a bulb, a wire, and ONE light bulb. You clip the wire on the battery and touch the wire on the bottom of the light bulb
It is the extremely thin wire inside the bulb. It is so thin that when the electricity goes through produce light, when that filament breaks the bulb is not good.
This was called a filament and was found in older electric light bulbs.

A light bulb has a filament wire inside made of nichrome. When electricity is passed through this wire it lights up brightly. If this happens in air the wire burns out and breaks. To stop this, bulbs are filled with a non flammable gas called argon that allows the wire to glow without breaking because there is no oxygen inside the bulb.
In an incandescent light bulb the wire that gives off the light is called the Filament.
