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 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)
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.
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.
Why is bromine a gas inside a working light bulb?
Trace amounts of halogens such as iodine and bromine are used in halogen lamps (bulbs) to prevent the evaporation of ionized metals from the filaments of the bulbs. A chemical reaction with the halogens returns vaporized metal (such as tungsten) back to the filament. The result is reduced darkening of the bulb interior and a longer bulb life at hotter filament temperatures. Compounds containing bromine are mixed with non-reactive noble gases in quartz halogen bulbs.
What the filament of bulb is broken then it is called?
If the filament of a bulb is broken, it is referred to as a "burnt out" or "blown" bulb. This means that the filament, which is the thin wire inside the bulb that produces light when electricity passes through it, is no longer connected and the bulb cannot function properly.
Why doesn't a bulb work when the filament inside it is broken?
A bulb doesn't work when the filament inside is broken because the filament is the component that allows electric current to flow through the bulb. When the filament breaks, it creates an open circuit, preventing electricity from completing the path and reaching the light-emitting part of the bulb. Without the flow of current, the bulb cannot produce light.
Will the bulb light if the filament is broken Why?
No, the bulb will not light if the filament is broken because the filament is the part of the bulb that creates light when electricity passes through it. Without a functioning filament, there is no source of light in the bulb.
Can current flow through a bulb with a broken filament?
No, the broken filament breaks the connection which electricity needs to complete the circuit.
What happens to the metal filament of a light bulb after it blows?
After a light bulb blows, the metal filament usually breaks due to the heat and stress it endured during operation. The broken pieces may remain inside the bulb or fall to the bottom, depending on how it fails.
You are using a bulb whose filament is broken will the bulb glow when connected to battery give reason?
No, the bulb will not glow when connected to a battery if the filament is broken. The filament is the part of the bulb that heats up and produces light when electricity passes through it. If the filament is broken, there is no path for the electricity to flow through and generate light.
Does a fused bulb allow electricity to pass through?
No, a fused bulb does not allow electricity to pass through. When a bulb is fused, it means that the filament inside the bulb has broken, interrupting the flow of electricity and causing the bulb to stop working.
What is the filament inside a light bulb?
The filament inside a light bulb is typically made of tungsten. When electricity passes through the filament, it heats up and produces light through incandescence.
What are the parts of a light bulb called?
The globe is the outer glass shell. The shaped coil inside is the filament. Wires and the stem support the filament inside the bulb. There are gases within the light bulb to prevent it from burning out. And the base is to securely support the bulb.
Can electricity still pass through a bulb which has fused?
If the bulb lights up then electricity is passing through the bulb. If the bulb doesn't light up then electricity is not passing through.
What is light bulb filament element and symbol?
A light bulb filament is a coiled wire inside the bulb that heats up and produces light when an electrical current passes through it. The symbol for a light bulb filament is usually represented as a zigzag line inside a circle.
What temperature does a filament inside a light bulb reach?
The filament inside a light bulb can reach temperatures as high as 2,500 degrees Celsius (4,532 degrees Fahrenheit) when illuminated, due to the resistance of the filament to the flow of electrical current.
