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

Which is the hot lead to the ignition switch on a 1968 Chevy II Nova?
The large red wire is the battery or hot wire.
What do the support wires do on a light bulb?
As the name implies, support wires support the filament wire in the bulb, The filament, of course is the wire that glows white hot, giving out light
Do light bulbs emit light or suck dark?
Light bulbs emit light.
Which is an example of reverse polarity?
Reverse polarity means that the direction of an energy flow is opposite of normal. In house wiring, it would mean that the hot wire (in the US, the black wire) was crossed with theneutral wire (in the US, white wire). Appliances would still function, but the flow of current is reversed (and unsafe)
What side does electrons flow from in a battery?
Outside the battery:The path for conventional current goes from the positive terminal (+, usually a red wire) to the negative terminal (−, usually a black wire).A wire's electrons flow from the negative (−) terminal to the positive (+) terminal.Since the current forms a continuous a loop in the same direction, the direction inside the battery is "backwards".Inside the battery:Conventional current flows from the negative (−) terminal to the positive (+) terminal.Positive ions flow from the negative (−) terminal to the positive (+) terminal.Negative ions flow from the positive(+) terminal to the negative (−) terminalConventional current assumes that all flowing charges are positive. It simplifies the situation because it hides the more complicated electrons, positive ions, and negative ions.
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.
How is eletrical energy converted in light energy?
In an incandescent light bulb, the wire is heated until it glows.In a fluorescent light bulb, atoms are excited, which means the electrons are raised to higher enerty levels. When they fall back, they emit light.In an incandescent light bulb, the wire is heated until it glows.In a fluorescent light bulb, atoms are excited, which means the electrons are raised to higher enerty levels.

What does a hot hydrogen gas emit?
Hot gases of any kind emit electromagnetic radiation.
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).
Why does a piece of wire become hot when it is bent repeatedly at the same point?
friction of the electrons are not moving freely in the wire, they bump on each other
What happens when there are too many electrons?
If there are excess electrons in an atom, the atom is likely to be ionized; that is, the stom will emit the electrons.
Atoms emit energy as light when?
Atoms emit energy as light when electrons move to a lower energy level
Do electrons in stationary states emit the most radiation?
No, they don't
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'.
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.
Do electrons emit radiation only when in stationary states?
no, only when accelerated
What does light in photoelectric effect?
After irradiation with photons metals emit electrons.
