What else can I help you with?
The wire inside an electric bulb is known as the what?
This was called a filament and was found in older electric light bulbs.
What are incandescent bulbs?
An incandescent light bulb is your common household bulb. It is best identified by the presence of a filament (the thin piece of wire in the center of the glass bulb that glows when turned on.) The incandescent bulb's interior space is a vacuum (all the air is removed) so that the filament doesn't burn up. It produces a warm, slightly gold/yellow light. A "florescent" bulb, on the other hand, has no filament. It works by electrically exiting gas in a long tube creating a cool white light with almost the same color as the sun.
Can you give me 2 fact about the incandescant light bulb?
-It's a very old technology quickly being replaced by newer more efficient technologies. -The light produced in the bulb is created by electricity heating up a filament inside the bulb creating light. This wouldn't be possible without the bulb however, since oxygen would quickly end this reaction of the filament through oxidation.
Why doesn't a bulb work when the filament inside is broken?
Oh, dude, it's like when you break up with someone, they're not gonna show up for your Netflix marathon, right? Same with the bulb - if the filament's busted, it's not gonna light up your room. It's just sitting there, like, "Nah, I'm out, find a new bulb, bro."
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.
Which type of light bulb glows when a filament inside it gets hot?
Incandescent light bulbs produce light when a filament made of tungsten wire is heated by an electric current flowing through it. The filament glows and emits light as it reaches high temperatures.
What part of the bulb glows to produce light?
the filament
How does the light in a resistor glow?
The light glows because of the hot Filament.
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 is a filament that glows white hot in electric light bulbs?
Tungsten is the filament used in electric light bulbs that glows white hot when subjected to an electric current.
Why does a light bulb filament glow?
A light bulb filament glows when electricity passes through it, causing the filament to heat up and emit light due to incandescence. The high temperature of the filament makes it glow and produce visible light.
What is something created when filament that becomes so hot it glows?
A light bulb is created when a filament becomes so hot that it glows. The high temperature causes the metal filament to emit light, which produces illumination in the bulb.
Why scientists use tungsten metal in manufacturing the filament of the light bulbs?
it glows and emits light.
How does electricity work in light bulbs?
The wiring inside the light bulb is very thin (the filament) and glows when heated. The current through the thin wire heats up the filament wire so that it will glow. See the related link 'How Light Bulbs Work'.
What make a light bulb glow?
A light bulb glows when an electric current passes through the filament inside, which heats up due to resistance and emits light. The filament is usually made of tungsten, a material that can withstand high temperatures without melting.
What is the filament of a light bulb?
It's the small coil of very fine tungsten wire that glows white hot.
Why do light bulbs produce heat or light?
The electric current heats up a filament inside the bulb so hot that it glows. Most of the energy produces heat and the remainder light. The inert atmosphere inside the bulb extends its life. The filament is made of a high temperature material like Tungsten
