A filament is a slender, thread-like structure that can be found in various contexts, including Biology and physics. In biology, filaments often refer to components of cells, such as actin filaments in the cytoskeleton or the filaments of fungi. In physics, filaments can refer to the wire in incandescent light bulbs that produces light when heated. They are also present in other applications, such as 3D printing, where plastic filaments are used as the material for creating objects.

Is viscose a staple or filament fiber?
Filament
Does a lamp with a thick filament draw more current or less current than a lamp with a thin filament?
A lamp with a thick filament will draw more current. What restricts the current flow in the filament is the resistance of the filament which increases as the temperature of the filament increases. A thin filament requires less energy to get heated up that a thick one so less current to achieve threshold resistance. Also a thick filament provides a broader path for current so there is less resistance per increase in degree centigrade. For these two (closely related but distinct) reasons it will require more current for the filament to get heated up to threshold resistance.
What type of light build glows when a filament inside it gets hot?
Electric lamps having incandescent filaments.
What is the general resistance of a tungsten filament?
The resistance of the filament in a light bulb is(voltage at which the bulb is designed to operate)2/(the rated power/watts of the bulb)
How does light from a flashlight travel?
A flash light generally makes light using a light bulb, which contains a filament. The filament is typically made from tungsten. It is very thin, but capable of withstanding extremely high temperatures. Electricity, from an internal power source, is passed through the filament. The filament has a resistance, so the current creates a very large heat in the wire. Because the wire is so thin, it heats up very quickly, and this excess energy is given out as light, and heat.

Where would you find filament?
Filament for 3D printers can be found online through various retailers such as Amazon, MatterHackers, or filament manufacturers' websites. Many local electronics stores or specialty 3D printing shops also carry a selection of filaments.
What is the thin coil of wire inside a light bulb called?
If you are talking about an incandescent light bulb then its called a filament. It is thin so that it has a high level of resistance. Current going through the filament causes it to heat up and give off EM radiation in the spectrum of visible light.
What part of the plant Holds the anther high?
The stamen, or to be more specific, the microsporangia.
Is viscose a staple or filament fiber?

Sentence with filament?

What is filament shaped into?
Bulb's filament are wounded into a coil.
How do you Use filament in a sentence?
(Filament is a thread or thin wire.)Is the lamp unplugged or is the filament broken in the bulb?A silkworm's cocoon is made from a thin filament which can be twisted into thread.
What filament is responsible for the pulling and what filament is pulled in the sliding filament theory?
In the sliding filament theory of muscle contraction, the thin filament (actin) slides over the thick filament (myosin). Myosin is responsible for pulling the actin filaments towards the center of the sarcomere during muscle contraction.
Would you expect to find DC or AC in the filament of a light bulb in your home?
The electrical grid in North America uses AC system. Your home is connected to the grid through your utility company. To answer the question, you will find AC in the filament of a light bulb in your home.
