Filament
a filament
The thin wire inside an electric bulb is called a filament. It is usually made of tungsten and becomes hot and emits light when an electric current passes through it.
A light bulb
incandescent
The part of a light bulb that glows is called the filament. It is typically made of tungsten and emits light when an electrical current passes through it, heating it up to produce light.
1) because the unit has a bulbous shape (the outer glass bit) 2) because the unit produces/emits light. The name is an exact description of that it does and its shape.
The scientific name for an electric bulb is incandescent light bulb, named after the process of incandescence which produces light through heating a filament.
It is called metal,plastic or steel so copper is also magnetic which alows the copper to make the bulb be brighter and to light up thankk you for listening...
The wire inside of an electrical light bulb is called a "filament". The word filament comes from the Latin word "filum" which means "thread". In various fields there are many different types of filaments with different uses, however the ones inside of light bulbs are made out of tungsten and work by super-heating by passing electricity through it.
The Incandescent Lamp
The term "incandescent" refers to the method by which an incandescent light bulb produces light. In this type of bulb, electricity is passed through a filament, causing it to heat up and emit light. The word "incandescent" itself means emitting light as a result of being heated.
The first practical incandescent light bulb was invented by Thomas Edison in 1879. Edison's bulb used a carbon filament housed in a glass vacuum to produce light when an electric current passed through it. This invention revolutionized lighting and made it more efficient and accessible to the general public.
