Tungsten is used in bulbs as filament, because it is the only wire that can be bent easily to produce friction. In the 5mm coil of the wire there are almost 15 rounds of coiling and when the electrons flow through it, it glows and emits heat as well due to friction.

lightbulbs?
In general Tungsten is used in heating elements. Lightbulbs and Oven elements are a common use.
Tungsten and an inert gas can be found inside of a light bulb.
that is because it has a and a high melting point so it does not melt easily when heated.
Tungsten is the most common element used as the filament in incandescent lightbulbs.
The type of metal that is used in domestic light bulbs is known as tungsten. This is the metal that is usually found in incandescent light bulbs.
In the old style filament lightbulbs it was tungsten (wolfram).
Tungsten is the element that the light bulb's filament is made from. The element's atomic symbol, W, comes from the word Wolfram, the original name for tungsten.
tungsten (or wolfram(W)) is usually used as the metal in domestic lighbulbs. The element used as the gas in domestic lightbulbs is usually argon (Ar). Hope this helps :)
They burn out from 1) the rapid heating and cooling of the Tungsten filament, and 2) from the tungsten atoms being released from the metal filament by way of the extremely high temperatures. Eventually the tungsten metal fails and the filament breaks.
