What device uses a resistor to transform electrical energy into light and heat?

A device that uses a resistor to transform electrical energy into light and heat is an incandescent light bulb. The resistor, also known as a filament, has high resistance, which causes it to heat up and emit light as a result of the electrical current passing through it.

Is it correct to say that a bulb in a circuit is a resistor?

Yes it is. The filament in a standard incandescent bulb is a type of resistor. An incandescent light bulb contains tungsten which reduces electricity and converts electricity to heat and light. All incandescent bulbs are resistors, but only a fraction of resistors are bulbs. If you want to see if a bulb is a resistor, try adding another bulb in series without changing the voltage. Both bulbs will be very dim. Another way to test this is to get a multimeter and set the meter to the resistance setting. If you get any value other than zero, then it is functioning as a resistor.


Why does the incandescent called such name?

The term "incandescent" refers to the method by which an incandescent light bulb produces light. In this type of bulb, electricity is passed through a filament, causing it to heat up and emit light. The word "incandescent" itself means emitting light as a result of being heated.
