What is a light bulb filament?
the filament is the metal peice in a bulb that glows.Tungsten is most often used in a lightbulb.
Why is argon used instead on air in the light bulb?
The filament in the light bulb is heated to a very high temperature. At such a temperature oxygen from the air would oxidise the metal(s) in the filament and thereby destroy the bulb. Using an inert gas such as argon in the bulb prevents such oxidation.
Which is more powerful a torch bulb or a mains filament bulb?
Mains filament
What is the center of a light bulb called?
If you mean the little metal thingy that loops around, it's a filament.
In a bulb noble gas argon is used . why is argon is used instead of air in the light bulb?
It won't burn the filament.
Which metal is used in making filament of a bulb?
The metal is Tungsten.
What is a light bulb filament?

Why bulb filament does not burn at high temperature?
The metal will melt if you do that.
How does a light bulb light?
light bulbs have metal contacts that connect to an electrical circuit and a filament. power lights up the filament in the bulb .

Why does the filament in a light bulb not burn up immediately?
The 'Filament' of a lightbulb is a peice of metal with an unusually high melting
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 is used as a filament in a bulb?
I believe it is tungsten.
What do metal tools an machinery the metal filament in a light bulb and steel girders used to frame an office building have in common?
They began as minerals inside earths crust
How did the expression 'blew out' or 'blown' come to be used to describe when a light bulb stops working since nothing actually blows up?
The filament broke.In some rare cases the filament explodes suddenly in a very bright flash of light and the bulb makes a very clear POP noise when this happens but does not break. When you replace the bulb you will notice the glass is darkened, this dark coating is recondensed metal vapor from when the filament exploded into metal vapor. So yes, sometimes the filament not only breaks or melts when it fails but sometimes the filament does indeed blow up!
Is line spectrum obtained from filament of bulb?
filament of bulb
What do metal tools and machinery the metal filament in a light bulb and steel girders used to frame an office building all have in common?
They began as minerals inside Earth's crust
