a hot wire emits electrons just like any other wire would. It is through the flow of electricity. Its the exact same thing. Good question though

Why does a wire get hot when an electric current passes through it?

When an electric current passes through a wire, the wire gets hot because the flow of electrons in the wire encounters resistance, which causes the electrons to collide with atoms in the wire, generating heat as a byproduct of this interaction.


What was inside the first computers that would get very hot?

The heaters of the vacuum tubes glowed red hot to make the cathodes emit electrons.


Why does the filament become hot?

The filament becomes hot when electricity passes through it, due to resistance in the wire. This resistance causes the filament to heat up and emit light in an incandescent bulb.


Is it normal for lamp wire to become hot during use?

Yes, it is normal for lamp wire to become slightly warm during use due to the flow of electricity through the wire. However, if the wire becomes excessively hot or starts to emit a burning smell, it may indicate a problem and should be checked by a professional electrician.


Why does an incandescent light emit light?

An incandescent light emits light due to the heating of its filament wire, which causes the wire to become so hot that it glows and gives off visible light. This process is known as incandescence.


Exactly what do vibrating electrons emit?

Classical they will emit electromagnetic waves (light and radio waves). Quantum effects might limit this since if the electrons are in the ground state (or all lower states are occupied) they can not emit any photons (quanta of electromagnetic waves).


How does electricity flow through a light bulb?

The atoms inside the wire of the lightbulb all have electrons which are pushed from atom to atom when the light is turned on, this is the current. When the electrons are pushed around the circuit they generate lots of heat because the wire in the bulb is so thin, this makes the wire glow white hot which creates the light.


Why does a wire become warmer when a charge is flowing through it?

Because the electrons in it are moving about. This is similar to what happens when you run about, you become 'hot'.


Do electrons in stationary states emit the most radiation?

No, electrons in stationary states do not emit radiation because they are in stable energy levels. Radiation is emitted when electrons transition between energy levels, releasing photons of specific energies.


What is the definition of hot wire?

Very literally, hot wire is a wire that is hot. Pertaining to vehicles, to hot wire a vehicle is to start the engine or motor of the vehicles without the use of the ignition.


Which wire on a lamp cord is known as the hot wire?

The wire on a lamp cord that is known as the hot wire is typically the black wire.


What are lightning and fire examples of?

Plasma is a form of matter that is so hot that the atomic structure breaks down, and the atom loses its electrons (the nucleus remains intact). Plasmas glow, which can be seen in both lightning and fire. The ionized electrons emit light.
