What materials are used to make the iPad?
Aluminum, Glass, Plastic, Steel, Copper, Silicon, Gold, Nickel, Silver and other trace elements.
What elements make up clay?
Aluminium, silicium, oxygen; sometimes traces of other elements.
What is antimony What is boron?
Elements. Both are some of the elements used as dopants in the making of semiconductor devices.
What is the difference between metal halide and mercury vapour lights?
In a metal halide light, the electricity heats a metal filament to a high temperature creating an extremely bright light. Metal ions burn off. A gas of the halide group (chlorine, bromine, iodine) reacts with the metal ions that have burned off and redeposit them on the filament. Because the filament is constantly being rebuilt, it can be brighter than a regular light bulb. Also it heats the gas to the point where the gasses give off light. So both the filament and the gasses give off light. With a mercury vapor light, mercury vapor is heated until it gives off ultraviolet light. The filament only serves to heat the mercury. It does not give off light. This light is used to excite phosphrus and other chemicals on the edge of the bulb. Those chemicals glow in the visible light spectrum. As a result, they illuminate.
What group of rock forming minerals are used as dielectrics in heating elements etc?
The micas are used as dielectrics.
What elements are in light bulbs as a filament?
Light bulb filaments are usually made of tungsten, which has a very high melting point. Occasionally carbon is used as a filament.
What material is used to make the filament in most halogens lights?
tungsten
Which element is used to make the filament of electric bulbs?
They're made of Tungsten.
What elements are in light bulbs?
tungsten filament, aluminum base
What make up the flower's filament and anther?
filament
Which elements is used in light bulbs as a filament?
Tungsten ( chemical name Wolfram ) is used for the filament of an incandescent lamp. This is due to ability for making fine guage Tungsten wires , mechanical strength of such wires and the High melting point , which is considerably more than the normal operating temperature of the filament.
Can you use a copper wire to make a filament of an electric bulb?
No, copper wire cannot be used to make the filament of an electric bulb as copper wire has very low resistance. Therefore, the bulb will not glow if current is passed. It would also melt - the filament has to be white-hot to be any use!
What is used to make globe filaments?
The first successful light bulb filaments were made of carbon (from carbonized paper or bamboo). In 1902 the Siemens company developed a tantalum lamp filament. From 1898 to around 1905 osmium was also used as a lamp filament. In 1906 the tungsten filament was introduced
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.
What elements are in incandesant light bulbs?
tungsten filament, aluminum base
What is a filament of a flower used for?
The filament of a flower is the stalk of the stamen that attaches the anther with the corolla.
What is the filament used in tubelight-?
The type of filament used in tube light is that one which is thin and surrounded by an oblong metal shield.
