Filament is thiner than copper hence it dode offers very low resitstance to electric current flowing through it. Therefore heat energy generated with filament during current flow is converted to light. It is possible generate light with lesser power consumption . This lower power requirments is possible due to lesser specific resistance of filament compared to copper.

When you wire a stove top with aluminum wiring can you do it with copper house wiring?

If you are asking can you connect aluminum wiring to copper wiring, the answer is yes. With one provision. You must cover the connection with a special compound prior to putting on the wire nuts. This compound is available at Lowe's and Home Depot and Ace.


What metal is good for electrical wiring?

For most applications ... where the wire has no function other than to join the components that accomplish the purpose of the circuit ... the best metal to use for wiring would be the one with the smallest resistivity. That would be silver. A big part of the reason that we usually settle for copper is because it is only second best as a conductor and is a lot less expensive than silver.
