Its a coiled tungsten filament.
A light bulb that uses a filament is also known as an incandescent light bulb.
It is the extremely thin wire inside the bulb. It is so thin that when the electricity goes through produce light, when that filament breaks the bulb is not good.
Answer:The filament inside the light bulb reaches over 3000 degree Celsius.
Technically the bulb does not light, it is but a housing for the filament and electrodes. It is the filament that gives off the light as it is heated by the electricity passing through it. The bulb helps to scatter the light in equal proportions.
Its a coiled tungsten filament.
They have to be coiled in order for them to be long enough to produce enough heat, which produces the light in a small space. Otherwise the light bulb would have to be much larger.A filament bulb is coiled to allow a much longer filament to fit into a tiny space. It also reduces the amount of gas which flows across the inner portion of the filament.
it is the coiled wire that heats up and gives off light in a incandescent (ordinary) light bulb.
If you are talking about an incandescent light bulb then its called a filament. It is thin so that it has a high level of resistance. Current going through the filament causes it to heat up and give off EM radiation in the spectrum of visible light.
A light bulb that uses a filament is also known as an incandescent light bulb.
In an incandescent light bulb the wire that gives off the light is called the Filament.
The parts of a light bulb are the glass envelope, mixture of inert gases at a lower pressure, and a screw cap. Inside of the light bulb is the coiled tungsten filament, support wires, glass fuse enclosure, connecting wires, and the electrical contact.
The filament of a light bulb overs enough resistance to current flow, that the filament heats up so much that it will glow and produce visible light.

light bulbs have metal contacts that connect to an electrical circuit and a filament. power lights up the filament in the bulb .
