I'm pretty sure the filament of a 60-W bulb is thicker, since there is less resistance through a thicker filament, so less light and heat would be generated.

There are three bulbs of 600W 100W and 200W which bulb has thickest filament?

600w - the thicker filament has a lower resistance, which leads to a higher current and thus higher wattage


Which has the thickest filament - a high-resistance or a low-resistance bulb?

A low resistance bulb has a thicker filament.


How does an 25w compact fluorescent bulb provides the same amount of light as a 100w filament bulb but use less electricity?

It uses modern technology to give better efficiency. A filament bulb has an incandescent (hot) piece of tungsten wire, which produces light but also heat. A fluorescent bulb uses a different process to produce more light and less heat.

What is the difference between a filament of a bulb and an element of an electric heater?

The heater element is thicker wire, and has lower resistance. It still has enough resistance to glow red hot (producing heat) but does not glow white-hot and very brightly like a light bulb filament. Also, it lasts almost indeifnitely. whereas the light bulb filament has a finite life - it will "burn out" sooner or later.
