What else can I help you with?
What property of column 0 gases makes them suitable for filling electric light bulbs?
Those gases do not react chemically so do not damage a hot filament in a bulb.
What makes up the filament of light bulbs?
Filament of light bulbs are made up of Tungsten.
Is mercury used for the filament in light bulbs?
No, not in the filament. You are probably thinking of compact fluorescent light bulbs, which do contain mercury.
Why do light bulbs have the coil in the middle?
That is the filament. Electricity traveling through the filament heats it to the point of glowing brightly - that is the light bulbs "light".
What happens to the filament when light bulbs blows?
The filament breaks.
What is in filament of light bulbs?
tungsten
How available are filament light bulbs?
I have not had any problem obtaining incandescent light bulbs.
What are domestic light bulbs?
Domestic light bulbs are simply the light bulbs (usually of the filament type) used in the home.
What is the thickness of the filament in light bulbs?
the filament is neither too thick nor too light
Does a car use filament?
The light bulbs do.
Is argon in light bulbs?
Yes, argon is commonly used in incandescent and fluorescent light bulbs as a filling gas to protect the filament or electrodes from oxidation. Argon is an inert gas that helps prolong the lifespan of the bulb by reducing the rate of filament degradation.
Why does argon power light bulbs?
Argon does not power light bulbs, electricity does. It protects the filament. Normal air would quickly cause the filament to burn away. Argon does not do this as it is chemically inert. Old lightbulbs contained a vacuum, but it was later found that having an inert gas such as argon present could help dissipate heat better, thus allowing the filament to last longer.
