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'.

Do electric stoves have radiation?

Electric stoves do not emit radiation, such as ionizing radiation like X-rays or gamma rays. The heat on electric stoves comes from the electrical resistance of the heating elements or induction coils, which generate heat through conduction and convection.


How many volts does the suns ray have?

The sun's rays do not have a specific voltage, as voltage is a measure of electric potential difference in an electrical circuit. However, solar energy can be harnessed by solar panels to generate electricity by converting sunlight into electrical energy.


Are there any species of electric puffer fish?

No, there are no known species of electric pufferfish. Pufferfish, also known as blowfish, are not known to produce electricity. They are usually recognized for their ability to inflate their bodies when threatened. Electric fish species, on the other hand, have specialized organs that generate electricity for various purposes.


What part of electric fire gets hot when electricity flows though it?

The heating element in an electric fire gets hot when electricity flows through it. This element is usually made of materials that have high electrical resistance, causing them to generate heat as the electricity passes through.

How much electricity can an electric eel generate in one electric shock?

An electric eel can generate up to 600 volts of electricity in one electric shock.


How do animals generate electricity?

Some animals can generate electricity through specialized cells called electrocytes. These cells are found in animals like electric eels and rays, and they function by creating an electric potential difference across their cell membranes. When these cells are activated, they can produce electric shocks for defense, communication, or hunting.


What is an Electric Torpedo rays?

These are rays that can make electricity when they eat or scared.


How much electricity can an electric eel generate and what is the maximum capacity of its electric power output?

An electric eel can generate up to 600 volts of electricity, with a maximum power output of around 1 kilowatt.


What do electric rays and electric eels use electricity for?

Electrocuting and killing the fish that they eat.


Is a gas generator better than electric?

The purpose of a generator is to generate electricity. An electric generator would be redundant. It would need electricity to make electricity and when there is a power outage there is not electricity.

When a wire carries an electric current it products a?

It produces a magnetic field. Vice versa, when you run a magnet past a wire you generate an electric current. Electricity and magnetism are related. If you have electricity you can generate magnetism, if you have a magnet you can produce electricity.


How much electricity does an electric eel generate and how is it able to produce such high voltage?

An electric eel can generate up to 600 volts of electricity. It is able to produce such high voltage because of specialized cells called electrocytes in its body that work together to create electric shocks.


What is the purpose of a hydro electric dam?

to generate electricity by utilizing energy of falling water


How can you generate water into electricity?

You don't. But you can use the weight of falling water to generate electricity. The water spins a turbine (a type of fan blade), and the spinning turbine turns an electric generator.
