There is no oxygen.If the lightbulb had any oxygen,it would just burn up.But there isn't any,so the wire just goes super hot and glows.

How do you use a light bulb as a resistor when charging a capacitor?
connect the light bulb to the positive wire like a inline fuse and then connect the wire to the battery it should just burn out the bulb
What does the bulb do on a light bulb?
It provides a protective, oxygen-free atmosphere for the filament, the glow wire. If the wire was to be heated in regular air, it'd burn and break immediately.
What has happened when a light bulb has burn out?
it simply means that a wire from the light bulb is joined or connected to the charged plates of the capacitor.resulting to discharged of the capacitor.
Why doesnt right brake light on Dodge Intrepid 2001 work?
Bulb, wire, fuse, etc.
Does a light bulb glow brigther with a thin or thick wire?
A thinner wire in the bulb increases resistance and causes the metal to " burn hotter" converting the electrical energy into thermal and radiant energy
What do you need to have a simple circuit?
Take a battery, a wire and a little light bulb. Put the wire on the flat part of the battery then put the other end of the wire on the side part of the bottom of the light bulb. Put the end of the light bulb on the top of the battery, dont touch the wire to the top when the light bulb is on it because is either shocks you or doesnt work.
Will two batteries and a wire make a light bulb light?
first of all, you need a bulb, a wire, and ONE light bulb. You clip the wire on the battery and touch the wire on the bottom of the light bulb
How do you wire 240V to 120V?
What specifically are you wiring? A light bulb would operate dim, a motor will burn up. The current increases thereby requiring larger wire and current protection.
How does electricity turn on a light?
When electric current flows through the tiny wire inside the light bulb, the electrical energy heats the wire so hot that it radiates light and heat. If the wire was in air, it would immediately burn up. But all the air has been removed from the light bulb, so the wire lasts for a while even though it's so hot.
Does a bulb get brighter the shorter the wire?
The Shorter the wire the brighter the bulb ! Because if it is short then it get brighter and the more batterie the brighter the bulb ! Or the lower voltage the brighter the bulb !
How does an electric bulb?
it works with a circuit.these tiny microscopic molecules travel through the wire. the filament, a very thin metal lets the molecules travel through, but at a much slower pace. this then causes it to burn and light the bulb up.
Why does the wire gauze not burn under heat?
Actually wire gauze will burn when heated. I think you may instead be asking "Why will a flame not propagate beyond a wire mesh." But the answer to your question is: "A wire gauze WILL burn under appropriate heat."
