There is no oxygen.If the lightbulb had any oxygen,it would just burn up.But there isn't any,so the wire just goes super hot and glows.

How do you use a light bulb as a resistor when charging a capacitor?

connect the light bulb to the positive wire like a inline fuse and then connect the wire to the battery it should just burn out the bulb


What does the bulb do on a light bulb?

It provides a protective, oxygen-free atmosphere for the filament, the glow wire. If the wire was to be heated in regular air, it'd burn and break immediately.


What has happened when a light bulb has burn out?

it simply means that a wire from the light bulb is joined or connected to the charged plates of the capacitor.resulting to discharged of the capacitor.


Why doesnt right brake light on Dodge Intrepid 2001 work?

Bulb, wire, fuse, etc.


Does a light bulb glow brigther with a thin or thick wire?

A thinner wire in the bulb increases resistance and causes the metal to " burn hotter" converting the electrical energy into thermal and radiant energy


Why don't your fingers burn when you light a bulb with a battery and wire?

When lighting a bulb with a battery and wire, the electricity travels through the wire to the filament in the bulb, which creates heat and light. Since your fingers are not part of the electrical circuit, they do not come into direct contact with the electricity, so they do not get burned. It is important to be cautious and avoid touching the wire or components that might get hot during the process.


What do you need to have a simple circuit?

Take a battery, a wire and a little light bulb. Put the wire on the flat part of the battery then put the other end of the wire on the side part of the bottom of the light bulb. Put the end of the light bulb on the top of the battery, dont touch the wire to the top when the light bulb is on it because is either shocks you or doesnt work.


Will two batteries and a wire make a light bulb light?

first of all, you need a bulb, a wire, and ONE light bulb. You clip the wire on the battery and touch the wire on the bottom of the light bulb


How do you wire 240V to 120V?

What specifically are you wiring? A light bulb would operate dim, a motor will burn up. The current increases thereby requiring larger wire and current protection.


How does electricity turn on a light?

When electric current flows through the tiny wire inside the light bulb, the electrical energy heats the wire so hot that it radiates light and heat. If the wire was in air, it would immediately burn up. But all the air has been removed from the light bulb, so the wire lasts for a while even though it's so hot.


Does a bulb get brighter the shorter the wire?

The Shorter the wire the brighter the bulb ! Because if it is short then it get brighter and the more batterie the brighter the bulb ! Or the lower voltage the brighter the bulb !


How does a wire connect to a bulb?

A wire connects to a bulb by attaching one end of the wire to the metal base of the bulb and the other end to the metal contact on the bulb socket. When the circuit is complete, electricity flows through the wire and powers the bulb, causing it to light up.
