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 helps dns to coil into a chromosome?
They coil around proteins called histones
What is a DC light bulb?
It is a light bulb that runs on direct current which is current that is steady unlike alternating current that switches every fiftieth or sixtieth of a second. However, this distinction is not important on incandescent bulbs since they can be powered in either direction. When heating a coil of wire, it doesn't matter if the current only flows in one direction (DC) or alternates. The only things that matter are the voltage and amount of current available.
How do neon bulbs work?
An incandescent light bulb has a coil of tungsten wire (called the filament) suspended in an evacuated (of air) glass bulb. Electricity is passed across the filament which, because of its resistance glows white hot, producing the light. The filament does not melt or burn away because the melting point of tungsten is high and there is not air in the glass bulb for the hot tungsten to react with.
Do spirochete have a nucleus?
No. Spirochete are prokaryotes, meaning that they lack a nuclear envelope. They do, however, have circular DNA called a plasmid coiled up in what is called a nucleoid(essentially a blob-like coil of chromosomes) inside their cell wall.
How does a 400w hps ballast work?
The inductive ballast is made up of a coiled wire. The coil creates a magnetic field inside when a current is applied. It stores the energy of the current in the magnetic field it creates. This way it controls the output current that continues on to the light. The store of energy also helps in the starting of the light when it is off, by sending an extra volt of electricity when the current first starts into the coil.
What are the parts of a light bulb called?
The globe is the outer glass shell. The shaped coil inside is the filament. Wires and the stem support the filament inside the bulb. There are gases within the light bulb to prevent it from burning out. And the base is to securely support the bulb.
Why can't you see a light bulb when it is switched on?
You can see a light bulb when it is on but it is so bright, the coil causes energy which is transferred as light.
How have new light bulbs changed inside from old ones?
With Thomas Alva Edison's invention of the light bulb, the elements were constructed of Carbon. Newer light bulbs are constructed of Tungsten, which takes much longer to bend into a coil within a coil within a coil, but shines much brighter and lasts for thousands of hours.
How is the light bulb powered in a router circuit?
from a tap on a field coil
What is filament coil?
it is the coiled wire that heats up and gives off light in a incandescent (ordinary) light bulb.
What will happen when DC supply is given to a bulb?
When a 230 V dc supply is given to a bulb it will glow, because it has just a coil inside.
Can you make electricity using a wire and a magnet?
An electric current is created when a magnet is spun rapidly inside a coil of wire. A turbine (usually powered by water or wind) spins a magnet inside a coil. This action induces an electric current in the coil that can be used to power a light bulb. Hope This Helped!! :D
What is a light bulb wire made out of?
A light bulb is made out of three items. A filament produces the light, glass gives the light bulb shape and controls the brightness, and the base allows the bulb to be placed in a socket.
How could you use a magnet to make the bulb light up?
This may take quite a bit of effort, as most incandescent light bulbs use a fair bit of current. Find the smallest bulb with the lowest operating voltage, from a small flashlight. Get as many turns as you can from your piece of wire, wrapping it around and around. Connect the bulb across the ends of the wire. One end goes to the centre contact and the other to the side of the bulb. (assuming a small Edison screw type bulb.) Now move the magnet rapidly inside the coil you made with the wire. The lamp will only blink during the movement of the magnet. By rapidly moving the magnet back and forth, you can generate an almost continuous supply of AC current and keep the bulb alight.
Which is an example of electrical energy being converted into light energy?
a flashlight bulb an LED the coil in a toaster
What is the coil of the wire called in a light?
element Filament
What is filament of a light bulb?
It's the small coil of very fine tungsten wire that glows white hot.
