What else can I help you with?
What is the thickness of the filament in light bulbs?
the filament is neither too thick nor too light
How available are filament light bulbs?
I have not had any problem obtaining incandescent light bulbs.
I am trying to make a simple balloon detonator using an rf remote but the instruction states i need small gauge filament what is this?
A small gauge filament is a thin wire with a high melting point, just like the filament in light bulbs. That filament will heat up when electricity will pass through it. If you have enough battery power, I would suggest using a piece if pencil lead.
Do you use horse hair in light bulbs?
No horse hair in light bulbs. Today's incandescent light bulbs feature a tungsten filament. Since the filament must be heated to very high temperatures in order to glow, tungsten is the only fairly inexpensive metal with a high enough melting point to get the job done.
Which elements is used in light bulbs as a filament?
Tungsten ( chemical name Wolfram ) is used for the filament of an incandescent lamp. This is due to ability for making fine guage Tungsten wires , mechanical strength of such wires and the High melting point , which is considerably more than the normal operating temperature of the filament.
With the highest melting point of any pure element it is the filament in ordinary light bulbs Its one-letter symbol comes from the name wolfram?
The pure element with the highest melting point is tungsten, which is commonly used in the filament of light bulbs. Its one-letter symbol, W, comes from its earlier name, wolfram.
Why tungsten is used in filament bulb?
It conducts electricity and has a very high melting point, thus it will not melt in high temperatures in light bulbs. In fact, tungsten has the highest melting point of all metals, at about 3400 degrees celcius.
What elements are in light bulbs as a filament?
Light bulb filaments are usually made of tungsten, which has a very high melting point. Occasionally carbon is used as a filament.
Do incandescent bulbs contain a filament of platinum?
No, incandescent bulbs typically contain a filament made of tungsten. Platinum is a rare and expensive metal that is not commonly used for this purpose due to its cost and lower melting point compared to tungsten.
Which material is used in the bulbs for the filament?
The filament in traditional incandescent light bulbs is typically made of tungsten. Tungsten has a high melting point and is able to emit light efficiently when heated by an electric current.
Why not iron filament used in bulbs?
Iron filaments are not used in light bulbs because they have a relatively high melting point and poor conductivity compared to tungsten, the metal commonly used in filament bulbs. Iron would not produce as much light or last as long as tungsten in a filament bulb.
What element is used for a filament for light bulbs?
Tungsten is typically used as the filament in incandescent light bulbs because of its high melting point and ability to emit light efficiently when heated by an electric current.
How electric bulbs works?
Electric bulbs work by passing an electric current through a filament, which heats up and produces light. The filament is typically made of tungsten, which has a high melting point. The light produced is a result of the filament glowing as it reaches high temperatures.
What element is used in a light bulb as a filament?
Tungsten is commonly used as the filament in incandescent light bulbs because of its high melting point and durability.
Which metal is used as filament in bulb?
Tungsten is typically used as the filament in light bulbs due to its high melting point and ability to withstand the high temperatures produced when the filament is heated to emit light.
How hot does a filament lamp get?
Bulb filament can reach temperature from 3410 degrees Celsius to 6300 degrees Celsius. No it can't. I think you're totally mistaken about how hot a filament can get. First of all, the temperature of a filament can't go above it's melting point. Secondly, I read that Tantulum Hafnium Carbide has the highest melting point of any known substance at 4215 degrees C. Besides, bulbs have a tungsten filament which has a melting point of 3422 C. It's slightly possible that for some bulbs, they mix tungsten with something else to raise the melting point but since nothing has a higher melting point than Tantulum Hafnium Carbide, the filament can't possibly get hotter than 4215 C by being 6300 C.
What makes up the filament of light bulbs?
Filament of light bulbs are made up of Tungsten.
