What is the thin coil of wire inside a light bulb called?
If you are talking about an incandescent light bulb then its called a filament. It is thin so that it has a high level of resistance. Current going through the filament causes it to heat up and give off EM radiation in the spectrum of visible light.
What does amps do in a light bulb?
Take the wattage of the bulb and divide that by the voltage of the bulb. This will give the current the bulb draws. Amps are a measure of charge (electron) at an instant of time through a conductor. In an incandescent bulb the filament is heated by the current and the characteristics of the filament, usually tungsten, is that it gives off light when heated.
Why do plants need incandescent lights?
Some, but not all, plants need a wider range of illumination than is provided by fluorescent lighting. Incandescent bulbs give off heat and infared radiation, while fluorescent (cold) lighting is closer to the ultraviolet part of the spectrum.
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.
To give out radiation?
To give out radiation is to radiate.
What is the thin wire inside a bulb called?
It is called a filament and usually made of tungsten steel.

Why do incandescent light bulbs waste a lot of electricity?
Because they give off much of their energy as heat due to how the metal filament works
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"
How heat gets from the filament to the kernel?
Electric current passes through a filament and heats up the filament which then emits light. The heat is a waste product in this case because all the work being done doesn't convert to the desired product, which is light. Light sources like LED or fluorescent can give out as much light with less heat and are therefore more efficient.
What the different between candescent and incandescent?
An incandescent material is one that is capable of becoming so hot that it glows, like a light bulb filament. But a campfire that gives-off flames... or a torch which burns a fuel... to give-off light would simply be considered "candescent."
What causes a light bulb to turn black when they burn out?
As an incandescent light bulb is used, tungsten slowly evaporates from the filament causing it to get thinner. When it gets too thin it can no longer carry the current and part of it melts causing the bulb to blow out.
What happens when a light bulb give it last glimmer?
It gets dark! The filament has gotten to hot and burned in two.
What is the function of the wires in a bulb?
The main wire in a bulb is the filament - which gets hot enough to give out light without burning away - and there are two other wires to take electricity to and from that filament.
What does amps do in a light bulb?
Take the wattage of the bulb and divide that by the voltage of the bulb. This will give the current the bulb draws. Amps are a measure of charge (electron) at an instant of time through a conductor. In an incandescent bulb the filament is heated by the current and the characteristics of the filament, usually tungsten, is that it gives off light when heated.
Is a LED light incandescent?
No, incandescent lights give off heat. LED do not.
