So it could easily pass electric current to the "metal" ,hence also producing light and non other the heat.

Why is screwdriver made of metal?

Because you can't flip pancakes with a toilet brush, silly. Seriously, a screwdriver must be made of a material strong enough to withstand the torque necessary to overcome the friction between the screw threads and the material into which it is being screwed.


Why bulb gives yellow light and tube light gives white?

Incandescent bulbs work by conducting an electric current along a filament made of a long, thin piece of tungsten metal. The filament must be heated to temperatures of about 2,300 degrees Celsius to glow and emit a yellow-hot light. CFL bulbs, on the other hand, are made of glass tubes filled with gas and a small amount of mercury .White Light is emitted when mercury molecules in a CFL bulb become excited by electricity running between two electrodes at its base. The mercury emits an invisible ultraviolet light that becomes visible when it hits the white coating inside the CLF bulb.


Why must your touch a charged object to the metal rod of an electroscope and not the rubber stopper?

You must touch a charged object to the metal rod of an electroscope because metal is a good conductor of electricity, allowing the charge to flow through it. The electrons from the charged object redistribute along the metal rod and into the leaves of the electroscope, causing them to repel. Rubber, on the other hand, is an insulator and does not allow the charge to flow.


A charged object is brought near a metal ball that is mounted on a rubber sheet. If the metal ball acquired a negative charge after it was grounded momentarily what must be the charge of the object th?

If the metal ball acquired a negative charge after being grounded, the charged object must be positively charged. When grounded, the metal ball gained electrons which caused it to become negatively charged. This would only occur if the charged object had an excess of positive charge to transfer to the metal ball.


Can gold attract a magnet?

No, gold is not magnetic and does not attract magnets. It is a non-magnetic metal, which means it does not have magnetic properties.

Why is the filament inside an electric lamp made very fine?

The filament is fine so that its electrical resistance can be quite high. It is also long, for the same reason. Usually it is coiled up to fit the length in the lamp. The heating effect of electric current is proportional to the current squared, time the resistance (I*I*R). Most of the effect is due to the current. The current through the filament must be limited to stop it melting. Adding resistance will do that. Taking resistance away increases heating. So, a low energy lamp has a very thin filament and a high energy lamp will have a thicker filament.


What are pistons made of?

Pistons are car parts often made out of a metal like stainless steel. These pistons are meant to move under high friction and must be a metal that can withstand the heat. +++ They are usually made of aluminium-alloy.

Explain the steps that you must take place before an ore can be made into a prodoct?

Before an ore can be made into a product, it needs to undergo several steps such as mining, crushing, grinding, concentrating, smelting, and refining. These processes involve extracting the valuable minerals from the ore, purifying them, and then shaping them into the final product through various manufacturing techniques. Quality control measures are also essential throughout these steps to ensure the final product meets the desired specifications.


Are people made out of metal?

Metal in its natural state is a mineral occurring in the form of ore. It then needs to be mined, extracted from the ore and processed to make whatever. So a metal object is man made from a naturally occurring material. Unless of course it was made by a woman.
