Many metals will glow when heated to a high enough temperature. The metal (like in a light bulb filament) is heated up from the current passing through it. Most incandescent light bulbs use a tungsten filament.
Appliance Heating elements (like in an electric oven), are usually composed of nickel and chromium. You can visually verify that Heating elements in ovens and toasters glow, as well.

∙ 14y agoMost metals will heat up and glow if the power is large enough and the wire thin enough.
A good example is Tungsten, which is used in incandescent bulbs.

What happens when you put a lighted splint in nitrogen?
.. then the flame or glow will distinguish by lack of oxygen.
Is iron a reactive metal?
Iron is Reactive, but doesn't really do anything, if put in water, it wil rust and if put in acid it will bubble but if put in fire it makes a vigorous burning flame that has sparks :D
How would you separate a mixture of iron and sulfur?
Use a magnet to filter it out. Put the magnet in a plastic bag so the powder does not stick to the magnet directly. Put the powder into some water and the iron with sink and then you can get the sulphur first and then the iron. Added: The other possibility is to dissolve sulphur powder in Carbon disulphide ( CS2 ). The only disadvantage is, that this water immiscible fluid is rather stinky (rotten cauliflower) and highly flammable.
How are magnets used to generate elecricty in a power station?
Yes, you can. You may recall that by running electricity through a coiled wire (solenoid) with an iron bar in the center, we can create an electromagnet. If we reverse this process and put a strong magnet through a solenoid, we can generate electricity. All you will have to do is move the magnet up and down in order to generate electricity.
How iron oxide is converted into iron metal?
Iron oxide is oxidized iron, that was probably obvious but yeah. The iron went through oxidization to become Iron oxide, so it needs to go through reduction to extract the iron again, which is the opposite chemical reaction to oxidization. DIY method: (Oh yeah, DO THIS OUTSIDE) Get some sawdust, some sand, a metal trash can or a basin type thing (or anything heat resistant that won't react really, unglazed ceramic does well). Make a ring of sand on the ground, and line the basin up so that the rim is all immersed in sand, this is to ensure that the reduction chamber is air-tight. Then make a birdsnest of sawdust inside the ring of sand. If your iron oxide is in a powder form or small chunks, you may want to put it on a fireproof, nonreactive plate of some kind. Put the Iron oxide in the saw dust and light the saw dust on fire. Quickly through another handful or so of sawdust on top and, again quickly, put the basin over the ring of sand. If necessary (it most likely will be), put more sand around the outside and hold down (use heat resistant gloves for this). Wait until the fire has burned out and has cooled down somewhat, then remove the trashcan/basin/chamber. You should have, aside from a lot of burnt up sawdust, some iron metal.
How do you make magnetisn using electricity?
You can put DC electricity through it
How do you pass electricity through orange?
put a wire through it
Does copper iron wire conduct electricity when put into water?
Yes, but also without water.
Why does jello glow when you put a light to it?
Because it's see through so the light reflects
Why do bulb glow when you switch it on?
Because electricity flow through it's wire. Electricity came from outlets source. When you plugged in a device, electricity will flow into two ways. One is directed on a bulb and the other one is cut. Two points of cut wires are put in a switch so if you presses the switch, the other current (whether positive or negative) will generate full electricity that is capable of lighting a light bulb.
Is any electricity lost when put through an electromagnet?
Yes, through heat from resistance in the wire.
How do you get through the electricity tower in Ben 10 the alien force?
put the boxes in the electricity ten keep going
What is the purpose of a steam iron?
It's used to get the wrinkles out of clothes, so they don't look crumpled up when you put them on. In the 1800's since people didn't have electricity, you had to put a steam iron on a lit stove and wait until the iron was hot enough that it would iron clothes.
How do you get tan skin to glow?
put acne creme on, let it dry, and then put on dove energy glow.
How do you make glow putty?
Get plain putty and put glow stuff on it
Can you put electricity in a jar?
No, electricity cannot be put in a jar. Electricity is the flow of electric charge through a conductor, and it requires a complete circuit to flow. You can store electrical energy in a battery or capacitor, but you cannot store the flow of electricity itself in a jar.
Is phosphorus in glow sticks?
No, phosphorus is NOT in glow sticks. Phosphorus is way to dangerous to be put in glow sticks. While a glow stick does have phosphorescence (meaning glow after illumination), it does not have phosphorus.
