It may or may not be true that fire lead to the light bulb. Lets go on a short trip and see where it leads us.
Fire gives off light, and prehistoric man knew this. As time passed, fire was "tamed" and the torch, the lamp, the candle and similar devices were made. They all gave us light through some form of "controlled" burning of something. Additionally, man discovered that very hot metals glowed or gave off light.
Electricity could be used to heat things. Metals that resisted electric current flow got very hot, and it was known that very hot metal glowed. The glowing of metal (or other things) because they were hot is called incandescence. A hot object that is giving off light is said to be incandescent. By picking the right kind of metal and insulating it from air (so it would not oxidize), the metal could be made to incandesce by driving electric current through it. We now have the incandescent light bulb. With these ideas in mind, you can decide if fire lead to the light bulb.

How did the light bulb change technology during Thomas Edison's time?
They supplied a reliable source of light compared to fire and candles. They didn't burn out as quickly as fire and candles. One big thing, though maybe not exactly a technology changer, was that it was a lot safer than a fire or candle.
How did Benjamin Franklin invented the light bulb?
Benjamin Franklin did not invent the light bulb.
What year did he invent the light bulb?
Thomas Edison invented the first light bulb that was available for commercial use in 1879. The light bulb was first used in Menlo Park.
Who invented the light bulb first?
The person who invented the light bulb was Nikola Tesla look him up.
Did thomas jefferson invent the light bulb?
No. Thomas Jefferson did not contribute to the development of the light bulb. The light bulb has a number of inventors producing specific technologies that ended up being part of the light bulb including Humphrey Davy and Thomas Edison, who perfected it, and many others.
Is it safe to cover light bulb with towel?
No, it is not safe to cover a light bulb with a towel. Doing so can create a fire hazard, as the towel may catch fire due to the heat generated by the bulb. Additionally, covering the bulb can lead to overheating, reducing its lifespan and potentially causing damage to the fixture. Always use light bulbs according to their intended usage and manufacturer guidelines.
If a paper and pencil lead is connected to a light bulb circuit which one will turn on the light bulb?
The paper will not conduct electricity, so it will not light up the bulb. The pencil lead, on the other hand, can conduct electricity and complete the circuit, causing the light bulb to turn on.
Can a pencil lead light up a bulb?
No, a pencil lead cannot light up a bulb on its own as it does not conduct electricity. However, if a pencil lead is used as a component in an electrical circuit connected to a power source, it may help light up a bulb.
How did the electric light bulb benefited consumers?
it helped by not having to light a fire.
What is the function of lead wires in a light bulb?
Lead wires in a light bulb are used to connect the filament to the electrical circuit. They conduct electricity from the power source to the filament, allowing it to heat up and produce light. Lead wires also provide support for the filament within the bulb.
What happens when you lick a light bulb?
Licking a light bulb can result in an electric shock and a burning sensation on the tongue. It is not safe to lick a light bulb as it can lead to injury or harm.
How do you make a light bulb in little alchemy?
Light and glass. Light: electricity (Energy + Metal) Energy: Fire + Air Metal: Fire + Stone Stone: Air + Lava Lava: Earth + Fire Glass: Fire + Sand Sand: Stone + Air Your welcome :)
Did the light bulb lead to any other inventions?
Yes it did.
Why can pencil lead can be used to make a light bulb?
A "pencil lead" is a mixture of the graphite allotrope of carbon mixed with clay and baked hard. While a pencil lead will conduct electricity, it can not be used to make a light bulb.
Can you light a light bulb with pencil lead?
No, pencil lead (graphite) cannot conduct electricity like a metal wire can. In order to light a light bulb, a material that can conduct electricity, such as a metal wire, is needed to create a closed circuit.
How old is the light bulb?
The "The Centennial Light" 4 watt light bulb which was first lit in 1901 and is still in use today at a fire station in Livermore, California.
How did the Thomas Edison light bulb lead to changes?
