What type of light is a light bulb that uses a filament?
A light bulb that uses a filament is also known as an incandescent light bulb.
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.
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.
What element is in an incondescent light bulb filament?
Tungsten.
What elements are in lightbulbs?
Tungsten is the element that the light bulb's filament is made from. The element's atomic symbol, W, comes from the word Wolfram, the original name for tungsten.
Which element is used in a light bulb filament?
Tungsten is an element. It is used in bulbs
What is in a light bulb filament?
Usually an element called tungsten.
What element is used in a light bulb as a filament?
Usually tungsten.
What air is in a light bulb?
the basically unreactive gas argon (element) is in a light bulb to prevent the tungsten (element) filament from coming into contact with oxygen (element) and getting oxygenated.
What element is essential in a light bulb?
In the old style filament lightbulbs it was tungsten (wolfram).
What type of light is a light bulb that uses a filament?
A light bulb that uses a filament is also known as an incandescent light bulb.
What element is used as a light bulb as a filament?
Usually tungsten.
What part of a light bulb gives off electricity?
The part of an incandescent light bulb that gets hot and produces the light is called the filament.
What is the thin coil of wire inside a light bulb called?
If you are talking about an incandescent light bulb then its called a filament. It is thin so that it has a high level of resistance. Current going through the filament causes it to heat up and give off EM radiation in the spectrum of visible light.
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.
