What is a light bulb filament?
the filament is the metal peice in a bulb that glows.Tungsten is most often used in a lightbulb.
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.
In a bulb noble gas argon is used . why is argon is used instead of air in the light bulb?
It won't burn the filament.
Is the original thomas Edison light bulb still used today or has it been modified to something that you have today?
The original Edison light bulb used a carbon based filament, later a metallic filament (tungsten) was used to increase the life of the bulb. Today the government has mandated that a fluorescent type bulb be used
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 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 in a light bulb as a filament?
Usually tungsten.
Why did Thomas Edison recreate the light bulb?
Edison perfected the light bulb by refining the filament. He used tungsten
Which element is used in a light bulb filament?
Tungsten is an element. It is used in bulbs
What is the purpose of the light bulb stem?
It is used to support the filament assembly.
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
In a bulb noble gas argon is used . why is argon is used instead of air in the light bulb?
It won't burn the filament.
How does a light bulb light?
light bulbs have metal contacts that connect to an electrical circuit and a filament. power lights up the filament in the bulb .
Why are only inert gases like Argon used in an electric light bulb?
If the lighter bulb had oxygen in it , the hot glowing filament would react with the oxygen, thereby destroying the filament. If the filament is destroyed, then there is no light. So an inert gas is used, because it will not react with the heated glowing filament. Hence the filament stays alight.
