What is the difference between static electricity and the electircity in a light bulb?
Static electricity is a build up of positive and negative electrons that get close enough to interact with each other briefly. This leads to you getting a small shock if you say rub your feet in wool socks against carpet and then touch something metal. However the electrical charge in these reactions is very small, and there is no sustained current. The electricity in a light bulb is a continuously flowing current, so long as it's switched on. That heats a filament in the bulb that reacts to the gas in the vacuum of the bulb. The concepts are effectively similar except one part. Static is just a built up charge that is released. While the light bulb is a continuous flow of electricity so long as the light is turned on.
How a lamp lights with the use of electricity?
a light bulb as the ones used in lamps. lights by fine filament inside the sealed vacuum bulb. one side of the filament connects to the bottom raised portion. the other end of filament connects to the silver screw in part. when the light bulb is screwed all the way down, the bottom of the bulb hits the slightly raised flap at the bottom of the socket. pos.+. and the side of socket is in contact with the side of bulb. Neg.-.put on switch and and electricity flows through the filament, you have light.
The part of a light bulb that is a poor conductor so that the friction causes it to light up and glow?
That part of a light bulb that causes light to light up is called the filament, and it is typically made from tungsten.
Why does the string of lights go out if 1 goes out?
This type of circuit is called a series circuit. Each bulb becomes a part of the circuit and if one burns out or is removed the circuit is open and electricity no longer flows through it. If you draw a circle and mark an 'x' on its rim and call that the power source. The electricity flows out and through each light and back to the source. If you erase a part of the circle, to represent a blown bulb, the circuit is broken and the electricity does not flow.
What does electricity receiver mean?
electricity receiver mean that a conductor which has property of flow of electron without resistance. it is idal condition.- vinod
Which sequence of energy transformations occurs after a battery-operated flashlight is turned on?
Chemical energy from the battery gets converted to electricity; in the light-bulb, assuming the old-fashioned incandescent light-bulbs, the electricity gets converted to heat, and the heat gets converted to light (part of it; a significant part gets converted to useless heat).Chemical energy from the battery gets converted to electricity; in the light-bulb, assuming the old-fashioned incandescent light-bulbs, the electricity gets converted to heat, and the heat gets converted to light (part of it; a significant part gets converted to useless heat).Chemical energy from the battery gets converted to electricity; in the light-bulb, assuming the old-fashioned incandescent light-bulbs, the electricity gets converted to heat, and the heat gets converted to light (part of it; a significant part gets converted to useless heat).Chemical energy from the battery gets converted to electricity; in the light-bulb, assuming the old-fashioned incandescent light-bulbs, the electricity gets converted to heat, and the heat gets converted to light (part of it; a significant part gets converted to useless heat).
Is circuit part of a light bulb?
A light bulb can be part of a circuit.
Why lamp gives light?
Because it is made to do so. An incandescent light bulb glows because electricity heats the filament until it is very hot and excites the atoms so much they emit "black body" radiation, much of which is in the visible part of the spectrum.

What is a filament Is it solved by using electricity terms?
A filament is part of a bulb.I will give you a full sentence. "The filament of a bulb is the part that gets hot and produces light"
What part of speech is the word light bulb?
"light bulb" is a noun.
Is dim light part of head bulb light?
no it is where the gray or black part at

What do you mean by short circuit?
When electricity flows through a path of less resistance instead of the original path where maybe a light bulb is part of the original path.
Is all of the electricity used to light a light bulb useful light?
No. Part of the energy is wasted, mainly as heat.
The part of a light bulb that is a poor conductor so that the friction causes it to light up and glow?
That part of a light bulb that causes light to light up is called the filament, and it is typically made from tungsten.
Why do lightbulbs get so hot?
The main component of an incandescent light bulb is the metal filament (the spiral). The filament is heated up by the AC current, when the lamp is turned on. The heat excites the metal ions so much that they radiate energy in the form of light. The spectrum of the radiation spans from visible (the warm light you can see) to invisible (infrared, which is heat). Heat is really infrared emission, which is still 'light' in physics terms.
