When electrical current flows through a lightbulb (whether it's CCFL, halogen, or incandescent), the trade-off is light and heat energy.
Electrical energy (the electric current) is transformed into thermal energy (by heating the filament to incandescence), and this thermal energy creates electromagnetic energy in the form of light.
Electrical filament
That is a light bulb, or any filament such as the one in a radiant electric fire.

Electrical energy is converted into light and heat when electric current flows through the metal filament of a light bulb.
When electrical current flows through a lightbulb (whether it's CCFL, halogen, or incandescent), the trade-off is light and heat energy.
An electric current passes through a thin filament, heating it until it produces light. The enclosing glass bulb prevents the oxygen in air from reaching the hot filament, which otherwise would be destroyed rapidly by oxidation.
The electrical energy is converted to both heat and light energy.
The electrical current comes into the bulb from the metal side,flow through the filament ,and out the tip.
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.
Electrical energy (the electric current) is transformed into thermal energy (by heating the filament to incandescence), and this thermal energy creates electromagnetic energy in the form of light.
It is known as filament. filament
Here are a few examples... - The electrical current is monitored. - The current of electricity is measured in volts. - The electrical current of telephone wiring is 82 volts. They may not be worded the same, but they have the same initial meaning.
Filament is a thin part of incandescent bulb which is the source of electric light that electric current passes through and heated it until it produce light.
