What else can I help you with?
Is copper wire the same as thugsten wire?
No. Copper wire is made of the element copper. Tungsten wire is made of the element tungsten. Copper wire is made to conduct electricity. Tungsten wire is made for the filament in light bulbs as tungsten does not melt under even very high temperatures.
What is the thin wire is an electric bulb that glows called?
The thin wire in an electric bulb that glows is called a filament. It is typically made of tungsten and glows when electricity passes through it, producing light.
What type of wire is used in very high temperature locations such as electric heater assemblies?
Nickel-based alloy wires such as nichrome or kanthal are commonly used in high temperature locations such as electric heater assemblies due to their ability to withstand high temperatures without significant degradation. They have high melting points and excellent resistance to oxidation, making them ideal for such applications.
Why can't tungsten wire be used as fuse?
I'm not sure why you think it cannot be used as a fuse. Granted, it's not the best idea, it is possible..002" Tungsten wire will glow and burn when it undergoes a current of approximately 9A. At 10A, this gauge tungsten wire will emit a bright white light, and fuse. There are, however many reasons why you shouldn't use it as a fuse.One reason it shouldn't be used as a fuse that is burns extremely bright (damaging to retina), and when exposed to oxygen, it creates toxic fumes. Tungsten also has a high melting point, so when it fuses, and sparks that are emitted pose a fire hazard.Incandescent light bulbs use usually use tungsten wire, but are filled with a noncombustible gas (e.g., argon) which keeps the tungsten from oxidizing and 'burning up'.
What is the thin wire inside a bulb called?
It is called a filament and usually made of tungsten steel.
Why tungsten metal wire is not used in heater?
A heater does not get hot enough to benefit from the expense of using tungsten wire. Most heaters use either wire made of an alloy called nichrome or plated ceramic heating elements. Heaters generally operate at red or orange heat (i.e. 1409F to 1908F) and can use nichrome wire. Lightbulbs operate at white heat (i.e. greater than 2309F) and use tungsten wire, but tungsten is hard and expensive to make into wire compared to softer metals.
Name of the thin wire inside electric bulb?
The thin wire inside an electric bulb is called a filament. It is usually made of tungsten and becomes hot and emits light when an electric current passes through it.
How does a tungsten heater function in industrial applications?
A tungsten heater functions in industrial applications by converting electrical energy into heat through the resistance of tungsten wire, which can withstand high temperatures. This heat is then used for various industrial processes such as melting metals, heating liquids, or drying materials.
Is copper wire the same as thugsten wire?
No. Copper wire is made of the element copper. Tungsten wire is made of the element tungsten. Copper wire is made to conduct electricity. Tungsten wire is made for the filament in light bulbs as tungsten does not melt under even very high temperatures.
What is tungsten wire what is it made up of?
Tungsten wire is a very thin wire that is made up of the element tungsten. It is known for its high melting point, strength, and resistance to corrosion, making it ideal for use in various electrical and heating applications. Tungsten wire is commonly used in light bulbs, electronic devices, and heating elements.
How do you make electric arc?
How do you make a simple plazma arc using tungsten wire.
What wire is used for an immersion heater?
An immersion electric heater usually uses nichrome wire as the heating element. Nichrome is highly resistive, and by applying a voltage, we can get it pretty hot. Nichrome is used as the heating element in toasters and on electric range elements as well as lots of other places.
How does a heater wire lose energy in an electric circuit?
It doesn't
What is the wire that heats up an electric heater made out of?
copper?
What wire gives of light in a bulb?
Typically, a tungsten filament wire is used in light bulbs to produce light when an electric current passes through it. The wire heats up and produces light due to the resistance of the material.
What is the wire in a light bulb?
The wire in a light bulb is typically made of tungsten. When an electric current passes through the wire, it heats up and emits light, creating illumination in the bulb. The tungsten wire has a high melting point, allowing it to withstand the heat generated during operation.
Which element are used as an electric heater filament?
Nichrome wire is commonly used for resistance wire for heater elements and it is a non-magnetic alloy of two elements nickel and chromium. It has high resistance and resists oxidation. The electrical resistivity is about 65 times that of copper.
