What is electrical energy converted into when electric current flows through the metal filament of a light bulb?
Electrical energy is converted into light and heat when electric current flows through the metal filament of a light bulb.
What happens to the electrical energy carried by the current when it passes through the filament of a bulb?
it stays there. the electricity travels back and forth through the filament until you turn the lighbulb off.
When the flashlight is on is it static or current electricity?
When the flashlight is ON , electrical current is flowing from one terminal of thebattery, through the light-bulb filament, to the other terminal of the battery.
What are the five parts of a light bulb?
That depends on the type of light bulb in question. Traditional incandescent light bulbs have four main pairs: The filament, which glows and emits light, when electricity runs through it; The inert gas, which keeps the filament from burning; The outer casing, which keeps the inert gas in place; and, The electrical connection, which screws into the socket to provide electricity.
When electric current flows through the metal filament of light bulb electric energy is converted to?
Heat and light.
What is electrical energy converted into when electric current flows through the metal filament of a light bulb?
Electrical energy is converted into light and heat when electric current flows through the metal filament of a light bulb.
When electric flows through the mental filament of a light bulbelectrical energy is converted to?
The electrical energy is converted to both heat and light energy.
What happens to the electrical energy carried by the current when it passes through the filament of a bulb?
it stays there. the electricity travels back and forth through the filament until you turn the lighbulb off.
Does a flashlight form electricity?
No it does not FORM it. It converts chemical energy in the battery cell into electrical energy which is then passed through a thin wire called the filament at the bulb. The filament lights up when electricity passes through it, thus giving out light.
Property of the filament that makes it light up when electricity flows through it?
Incandescence. The filament is heated by the electricity moving through it, this causes the filament to heat up, and the heat causes the familiar glow.
Can electricity still pass through a bulb which has fused?
If the bulb lights up then electricity is passing through the bulb. If the bulb doesn't light up then electricity is not passing through.
How electrical energy converted in to light energy?
Electricity can be converted to light using light bulb. An incandescence light bulb produce light by passing electricity through filament (resistance) and create heat so hot that it radiate out light. It also can produce light using Electro-luminescence effect as in LED lamb or using ionized gas discharged as in Fluorescent lamb.
Did the bulb light in electrical energy?
Technically the bulb does not light, it is but a housing for the filament and electrodes. It is the filament that gives off the light as it is heated by the electricity passing through it. The bulb helps to scatter the light in equal proportions.
When the flashlight is on is it static or current electricity?
When the flashlight is ON , electrical current is flowing from one terminal of thebattery, through the light-bulb filament, to the other terminal of the battery.
What is a metal that glows when electricity is passed through it?
It is a tungsten filament.
What happens to the electrical energy when it passes through a light bulb?
In a traditional light bulb, the electrical energy is converted to heat. The filament gets hot and emits the thermal energy as light. The electrical energy itself is not directly converted to light but goes through the thermal energy stage.There are many kinds of lights and more complicated processes which are not described in this brief answer.
Can current flow through a bulb with a broken filament?
No, the broken filament breaks the connection which electricity needs to complete the circuit.
