Does the size of the light bulb affect how much energy it uses with wire and a battery?
No, only the resistance of the filament counts (normally marked as "wattage" on the bulb).
What device uses a resistor to transform electrical energy into light and heat?
Among others, the filament of an incandescent light bulb is a resistor- which gives off heat and light.
Which device uses heat to produce light?
Light bulbs. The filament in the bulb is heated in order for it to glow and produce light. This can be considered as a conversion of energy where heat energy is being transferred in light energy.
What type of energy makes a light bulb glow?
An electric light bulb converts electrical energy into thermal energy which is in the form of radiated light and heat. For example, the " easy bake oven" uses a light bulb to cook the food.
What are the uses for argon?
fills light bulbs and incandescent lamps to protect the filament
What is bulb and its proccess?
A light bulb is an electric light that uses the process of a filament wire that is heated to produce an electrical current. When the electrical current passing throught the light bulb it produces light.
What part of a light bulb gives off electricity?
The part of an incandescent light bulb that gets hot and produces the light is called the filament.
How does an 25w compact fluorescent bulb provides the same amount of light as a 100w filament bulb but use less electricity?
It uses modern technology to give better efficiency. A filament bulb has an incandescent (hot) piece of tungsten wire, which produces light but also heat. A fluorescent bulb uses a different process to produce more light and less heat.
Does the size of the light bulb affect how much energy it uses with wire and a battery?
No, only the resistance of the filament counts (normally marked as "wattage" on the bulb).
Would you expect to find DC or AC in the filament of a light bulb in your home?
The electrical grid in North America uses AC system. Your home is connected to the grid through your utility company. To answer the question, you will find AC in the filament of a light bulb in your home.
Why does the brake light on the integra not light up when you turn on the light but it light up when you brake?
The Integra uses a dual-filament bulb in the tail light, which has one contact for the running light (the lights you turn on at night) and another brighter one for the brake light (only goes on when you press the brake pedal). You have replaced the bulb with the wrong type. You will need a 2057 bulb for the Integra.
Which type of light bulb uses phosphors?
fluorescent
What device uses a resistor to transform electrical energy into light and heat?
Among others, the filament of an incandescent light bulb is a resistor- which gives off heat and light.
What type of light bulb uses phosphors?
fluorescent, LEDs
How do you use electric light bulbs?
This is a somewhat an open type of question with a general scope. I have to believe that there is more to the question?One uses light bulbs by applying voltage to their contacts, this causes a current flow through the bulb and depending the the specific bulb type (incandescent, fluorescent, LED, etc) the internal components (filament, gases, LED's, etc.) create light.

What is the metal of a light bulb made of?
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.
