Filament of bulb is made up of Tungsten.
perfect answer:filament of bulb made of tungsten because of its melting point tungsten s m.p. is 3422 c and it produces through a method called extrusion process and due to its high melting point it do not melt due to heat. thnx if any1 have some general knowledge plz send me at wanted_rk2000@Yahoo.comTungsten.

The filament of an incandescent light bulb is actually significantly hotter than lava. Temperatures may exceed 4,000 degrees in some bulbs.
Is a light bulb a kind of lever?
No. A light bulb is a bulb that contains a filament that gets hot when electric current is passed through it.
What is the insulator in a light bulb?
Glass is the insulator in a light bulb. The base has a heavy piece of glass to separate the ring from the center, and there is a glass support inside the bulb to hold up the filament and separate the wires going to the filament.

What is the part of a light bulb that gets hot and produces lights?
In an incandescent light bulb this is the filament. It is usually made of tungsten.
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
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 .
How tungsten filament made?
Tungsten filament is used in the creation of the light bulb. It can be made in different shapes like coiling, and horizontal or vertical helix.
