Will a light bulb light if its metal tip rests on metal casing?

The metal tip of a light bulb has to make contact with the bottom of the lamp holder's middle center contact to operate.


Can dielectric grease be used on the contact point of a light bulb socket?

No, that would not be proper. The contact point of a light bulb socket has no need of any coating. A light bulb socket that is difficult to turn a bulb in will benefit from some light oil on the bulb threads prior to installing. Dielectric grease will harden, and is meant to insulate and protect electrical junctions from exposure and vibration.


What forms of energy does the electric light bulb made?

First let us understand the different parts that go to make up the light bulb shall we? The key component in a light bulb is the filament, this filament, ususually a thin piece of wire, is connected to two contact points. These points are then connected to the metal base of the bulb. When the bulb is attached to the light socket a circuit is then made. As the thin wire is part of the circuit it will have electicity passing through it when the power is switched on. The bulb glows because of the filament is thinner than that of the rest of the circuit. The filament gives off heat energy and begins to glow, this glowing we call light energy. You now have two forms of energy.


How does a compact fluorescent light bulb work?

A fluorescent light bulb contains a gas which produces UV light when it comes in contact with electricity. Contrary to a normal light bulb this does not create any heat and is far more energy efficient.


Why does the energy from a battery transfer into the light bulb and causes it 2 light up?

charge travels from one battery contact to another one through the bulb


Why do we need a complete circuit for the bulb to light?

Its a power source such as a battery - Wire from the Positive on the battery to one contact on the lamp and a wire from the Negative of the battery to the other contact on the bulb


What air is in a light bulb?

the basically unreactive gas argon (element) is in a light bulb to prevent the tungsten (element) filament from coming into contact with oxygen (element) and getting oxygenated.

How is nitrogen used in light bulbs?

because if we will fill any other gas in bulb when it will come in contact with heat produced by bulb it will burst


What are the parts of an electric bulb?

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.


Why does the brake light on the integra not light up when you turn on the light but it light up when you brake?

The Integra uses a dual-filament bulb in the tail light, which has one contact for the running light (the lights you turn on at night) and another brighter one for the brake light (only goes on when you press the brake pedal). You have replaced the bulb with the wrong type. You will need a 2057 bulb for the Integra.
