What is the filament in lights?
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.
Is a light bulb a soure of light?
Yes, a light bulb is a source of light. When current is going through the filament the resistance generates enough heat that the filament glows, producing light.
What happens when 220 volt equipment is plugged into a 110 volt source or if 110 120 volt equipment is plugged into a 60 volt source assuming all alternating current?
temporary it blows or KABOOOMM....
Why does the light bulb not work when the filament is broken?
A light bulb works by passing an electric current through the filament, which is usually made from a high resistance substance such as tungsten. When the current flows through, the filament glows which produces the light. When it burns out, no electricity passes and no glowing occurs. Source: i just know
What is the function filament?
filament is the source of light which gives to the plant to do a photosynthesis..
What is current controlled current sources?
A unidirectional current controller device is a type of electrical on/off switch. In order for an item to work that is plugged into a particular outlet, the switch must be in the on position. It is like having lamps plugged into outlets that are controlled by only one switch.
How much current will an electric bulb draw a 220v source if the bulb filament is 1200ohm?
The equation that you are looking for is I = E/R. Amps = Voltage/Resistance in ohms.
What are the differences between ac servomotor and dc servomotors?
AC servomotors require an alternating current as a power source, meaning they need to be plugged into an outlet, while DC servomotors require a direct current as a power source, meaning they can be run off of battery power.
What does a light bulb have to do with an electrical light source?
A light bulb is a source of electric light. In an incandescent light bulb, the glass bulb forms a protective shield around a glowing filament. The air inside the glass bulb is removed, or replaced with an inert gas. Electric current is passed through a thin metal filament (usually tungsten), which causes it to glow white hot, giving out light. The protective bulb stops the filament from burning up, as it has no Oxygen.
What is filaments function?
filament is the source of light which gives to the plant to do a photosynthesis..
What does it mean to source current?
the source current is the current that flows from the power source.
Why can't a bulb turn on without electricity?
An incadescent bulb lights up because the voltage source creates a current through the filament of the bulb and it heats up because of its composition and gives off light as a result. No electricity, no voltage and no current.
