How does a dry cell make a lightbulb light?
When electric current flows through filament of the bulb, the electrons are squased among themselves due to the thin structure of the bulb. This causes them to emit light. Due to the gases filled in the light bulb, the bulb glows.
How does a light bulb make light?
It does first of all depend on what kind of light bulb we are thinking about. The traditional light bulb consist of a glass bulb with a filament made out of Tungsten/Wolfram (Two names, same thing.) This filament is highly heat resistant as long as it is placed in vacuum or have an inert gas around it. When you turn on the power to the light bulb, then electrons starts to flow through this filament. This flow of electrons is massive as a lamp bulb is basically a pure shortcut of electrical power. Due to the massive flow of electrons, they collide and interact with each other. This causes the filament to heat up. As the filament heats up, the activity of the electrons increases. Each electron demands more space and this effect limits the possible current with a given voltage. The filament gives off to us visible light because of the changes in energy levels of atoms and electrons in it. often when two electrons collide, one looses a little bit of its power and this is given of as a photon. Billions upon billions of this happening in the filament and voila. We have a source of light. Electrons pass through the filament of a light bulb and cause the energy/heat to build up. Photon's are given off when an electron drops down in it's energy level, with a light bulb the photons are seen as visible light.
Why did Thomas Edison fail 1000 times?
Edison failed many times - no one knows how many - to make a filament for a light bulb that would last a long time. He did not invent the light bulb - he was working on a BETTER light bulb that would last longer.
Can you use a copper wire to make a filament of an electric bulb?
No, copper wire cannot be used to make the filament of an electric bulb as copper wire has very low resistance. Therefore, the bulb will not glow if current is passed. It would also melt - the filament has to be white-hot to be any use!
How did Thomas Edison make the first light bulb?
he woked on it for 15 years. He first made a airless glass that has the shape of a sphere and then he put in a filament (string that powers the light bulb) which was made out of carbon and powered the lightbulb through electricity
Is resistance in the filament of a lamp essential or not?
Yes, the resistance of the filament of a light bulb is what generates enough heat to make the filament glow and produce light.
What type of filament will make the light bulb turn on for a longer period of time?
The filament is nothing to do with the light turning on, that is controlled by the switch.
What year did Louis Lattimer make the filament for the light bulb?
2008
How does a battery make a light bulb glow?
The flow of electrons from the battery flow through the filament in the bulb causing it to get hot and glow thus producing light.
You are using a bulb whose filament is broken will the bulb glow when connected to battery give reason?
no. it cant make its connection so it wont make any light.

What forms of energy does the electric light bulb made?
First let us understand the different parts that go to make up the light bulb shall we? The key component in a light bulb is the filament, this filament, ususually a thin piece of wire, is connected to two contact points. These points are then connected to the metal base of the bulb. When the bulb is attached to the light socket a circuit is then made. As the thin wire is part of the circuit it will have electicity passing through it when the power is switched on. The bulb glows because of the filament is thinner than that of the rest of the circuit. The filament gives off heat energy and begins to glow, this glowing we call light energy. You now have two forms of energy.
Can you give me 2 fact about the incandescant light bulb?
-It's a very old technology quickly being replaced by newer more efficient technologies. -The light produced in the bulb is created by electricity heating up a filament inside the bulb creating light. This wouldn't be possible without the bulb however, since oxygen would quickly end this reaction of the filament through oxidation.
Do you use hair to make a light bulb?
No, hair is not used to make a light bulb. Light bulbs are typically made of glass or other transparent materials, with a filament made of tungsten or other metals that produce light when heated. Hair is not a suitable material for this purpose.
How do you change a stop light bulb on a 1996 Isuzu Rodeo?
First, make sure you get a DUAL filament bulb, if you get a mono filament it will not work properly. Open the tailgate, un screw the screws on each side of the tail light assembly. This is in one big unit. Then carefully take the stop light bulb out, you may have to pull a bit, they get really stuck in there. change the bulb with the dual filament. Carefully replace the whole assembly. Be sure that you the climate seal is on straight then replace the screws.
