What is light bulb filament?
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.
What temperature does a filament inside a light bulb reach?
Answer:The filament inside the light bulb reaches over 3000 degree Celsius.
Did the bulb light in electrical energy?
Technically the bulb does not light, it is but a housing for the filament and electrodes. It is the filament that gives off the light as it is heated by the electricity passing through it. The bulb helps to scatter the light in equal proportions.
Who made the light bulb filament?

Why do you need to have the glass on the outside of a light bulb?
The glass envelope, or bulb, of an incandescent light bulb is needed to hold the inert gas, such as argon, that fills the space. The filament of a light bulb is made of tungsten wire. When electricity passes through it the filament becomes extremely hot and emits light. The inert gas surrounding the filament protects it from evaporating too quickly. A light bulb only lasts as long as its filament lasts.
What is the wire that gives off light in a light bulb?
In an incandescent light bulb the wire that gives off the light is called the Filament.
What does the filament of a light bulb allows the light bulb to change electrical energy to?
The filament of a light bulb overs enough resistance to current flow, that the filament heats up so much that it will glow and produce visible light.
What is the wire inside a light bulb called?
filament
