If you are talking about an incandescent light bulb then its called a filament. It is thin so that it has a high level of resistance. Current going through the filament causes it to heat up and give off EM radiation in the spectrum of visible light.

How could Nikola Tesla light up light bulbs while holding them and having no electrical wires attached?
Nikola Tesla used a high-frequency electromagnetic field to transmit electricity wirelessly, known as Tesla coils. When he held a light bulb near the coil, the electromagnetic field induced a current in the bulb, causing it to light up without the need for direct electrical connections.
What is a DC light bulb?
It is a light bulb that runs on direct current which is current that is steady unlike alternating current that switches every fiftieth or sixtieth of a second. However, this distinction is not important on incandescent bulbs since they can be powered in either direction. When heating a coil of wire, it doesn't matter if the current only flows in one direction (DC) or alternates. The only things that matter are the voltage and amount of current available.
Do spirochete have a nucleus?
No. Spirochete are prokaryotes, meaning that they lack a nuclear envelope. They do, however, have circular DNA called a plasmid coiled up in what is called a nucleoid(essentially a blob-like coil of chromosomes) inside their cell wall.
What One of the factors allowing DNA to fit inside the nucleus of a cell is its ability to?
One of the factors allowing DNA to fit inside the nucleus of a cell is its ability to coil and condense into a highly organized structure. DNA achieves this by wrapping around proteins called histones to form nucleosomes, which then coil up further to form chromatin fibers. This packaging of DNA allows it to be tightly packed within the nucleus without becoming tangled.
How do neon bulbs work?
An incandescent light bulb has a coil of tungsten wire (called the filament) suspended in an evacuated (of air) glass bulb. Electricity is passed across the filament which, because of its resistance glows white hot, producing the light. The filament does not melt or burn away because the melting point of tungsten is high and there is not air in the glass bulb for the hot tungsten to react with.
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.
How have new light bulbs changed inside from old ones?
With Thomas Alva Edison's invention of the light bulb, the elements were constructed of Carbon. Newer light bulbs are constructed of Tungsten, which takes much longer to bend into a coil within a coil within a coil, but shines much brighter and lasts for thousands of hours.
How is the light bulb powered in a router circuit?
from a tap on a field coil
How does a dynamo light work to generate electricity for illumination?
A dynamo light works by using a magnet and a coil of wire to generate electricity. When the bike wheel turns, it spins the magnet inside the coil, creating a magnetic field that induces a current in the wire. This current powers the light bulb, providing illumination.
Is a light bulb an electromagnet?
No, a light bulb is not an electromagnet. A light bulb contains a filament that produces light when current flows through it, whereas an electromagnet is a device that produces a magnetic field when current flows through a coil of wire.
What will happen when DC supply is given to a bulb?
When a 230 V dc supply is given to a bulb it will glow, because it has just a coil inside.
What is filament coil?
it is the coiled wire that heats up and gives off light in a incandescent (ordinary) light bulb.
How could you use a magnet to make the bulb light up?
This may take quite a bit of effort, as most incandescent light bulbs use a fair bit of current. Find the smallest bulb with the lowest operating voltage, from a small flashlight. Get as many turns as you can from your piece of wire, wrapping it around and around. Connect the bulb across the ends of the wire. One end goes to the centre contact and the other to the side of the bulb. (assuming a small Edison screw type bulb.) Now move the magnet rapidly inside the coil you made with the wire. The lamp will only blink during the movement of the magnet. By rapidly moving the magnet back and forth, you can generate an almost continuous supply of AC current and keep the bulb alight.
What is a light bulb wire made out of?
A light bulb is made out of three items. A filament produces the light, glass gives the light bulb shape and controls the brightness, and the base allows the bulb to be placed in a socket.
What is the filament in a light bulb is shaped into?
The filament in a light bulb is typically shaped into a coil or a straight wire. This shape helps to maximize the surface area of the filament, allowing it to emit more light and heat efficiently.
Which is an example of electrical energy being converted into light energy?
a flashlight bulb an LED the coil in a toaster
Why can't you see a light bulb when it is switched on?
The light emitted by the bulb overwhelms our eyes' ability to perceive its physical structure, making it difficult for us to see the bulb itself when it is switched on. Our eyes are more sensitive to the brightness of the light produced rather than the object emitting it.
