To light up, the bulb needs an electrical current flowing through it. This current is typically provided by connecting the bulb to a power source, such as a battery or outlet. Once the current flows through the bulb's filament, it heats up and produces light.

Why it happens that when electric bulb heats up it does not glow?

When an electric bulb heats up, it can stop glowing if the filament inside breaks due to the extreme temperature. The filament in a light bulb glows when an electric current passes through it, but if it breaks, the circuit is disrupted and the bulb will not light up. This can also happen if the filament is damaged by vibration or stress.

What two energy changes happen in a light bulb?

In a light bulb, electrical energy is converted into radiant energy (light) and thermal energy (heat). When the bulb is turned on, the electrical energy flowing through the filament heats it up, causing it to emit light while also generating heat as a byproduct.
