What process do car headlights use to emit light?

Electric Discharge- the process of emitting light because of electricity passing through a gas.


What happens when an electric current is passed through the gas of vapor of an element?

When an electric current is passed through a gas or vapor of an element, it can cause the gas or vapor to ionize and emit light. This process is known as a gas discharge or glow discharge and is commonly seen in neon signs or fluorescent lights. The color of the light emitted depends on the element present in the gas or vapor.


Passing an electric current through a certain substance produces oxygen and sulfur This substance cannot be a?

This substance cannot be water, because passing an electric current through water, in a process called electrolysis, produces hydrogen and oxygen gas, not oxygen and sulfur.


How does an electric shower work to heat water for bathing?

An electric shower works by passing water through a heating element inside the shower unit. The heating element uses electricity to heat the water as it flows through, providing hot water for bathing.


Is heat gas or electric?

Heat can be generated using both gas and electric sources. Gas heat is produced by burning natural gas or propane, while electric heat is generated by passing electricity through a heating element.


What are electromagents?

Magnets that are turned on by passing an electric current through them, and turned off by not allowing an electric current through them.


What is the energy transfer in an electric cooker?

In an electric cooker, electrical energy is transferred into heat energy through resistance in the heating element. The electrical current passing through the element encounters resistance, which generates heat as a byproduct. This heat energy is then used for cooking food.


When did hamphry davy discover sodium?

Humphry Davy discovered sodium in 1807. He isolated the element by passing an electric current through molten sodium hydroxide.


What is the electric flux through one face of the cube?

The electric flux through one face of the cube is the total electric field passing through that face.


What is the net electric flux through the cube?

The net electric flux through the cube is the total amount of electric field passing through the surface of the cube.


Why crook tube is called discharge tube?

If it's a *Crookes* tube you're asking about, it's a discharge tube because the applied electrical field causes ionization and a resulting discharge of energy in the form (mostly) of light, depending on the gas or gases in the tube.


What will be value of flux if the surface does not enclose any charge?

If the surface does not enclose any charge, the electric flux through the surface will be zero. This is because electric flux is a measure of the total electric field passing through a surface, and if there are no charges within the surface, there will be no electric field passing through it.
