What materials are light bulbs made of?
Light bulbs are typically made of glass, metal, and a filament made of tungsten.
What materials are light bulbs made out of?
Light bulbs are typically made out of glass, metal, and a filament material such as tungsten.
In a series circuit with multiple light bulbs attached to a battery why are you seeing the light bulbs closest to the battery are brighter than those bulbs further from the battery?
The light bulbs closest to the battery appear brighter because they have less resistance in the circuit compared to the bulbs further away. As current flows through the circuit, it encounters resistance from each component, which results in a potential drop. The bulbs further away experience a larger voltage drop due to the increased resistance, leading to dimmer illumination.
What element are used in light bulbs as a filaments?
Tungsten is commonly used as a filament in light bulbs due to its high melting point and resistance to heat. It can be shaped into a thin wire that glows when an electric current passes through it, producing light.
What elements resistance to the flow of electricity is greatly affected by the amount of light shining on it?
A photoresistor (or light-dependent resistor) is an element whose resistance changes with the amount of light shining on it. When exposed to light, the resistance of a photoresistor decreases, and when in darkness, the resistance increases. This property makes photoresistors useful in light-sensing applications.

What materials are light bulbs made out of?
Light bulbs are typically made out of glass, metal, and a filament material such as tungsten.
Why are light bulbs made up transparent materials?
There's not a huge market for light bulbs that don't let any light out.
Where is there a resister in a light bulb circuit?
In an old-fashioned light bulb, the part that emits light is a resistance. When current flows through it, it heats up so much that it glows - it emits light.Due to their lousy efficiency, these light bulbs should be discarded, in favor of fluorescent light bulbs or LED light bulbs.In an old-fashioned light bulb, the part that emits light is a resistance.

What two circuits one series and one parallel use light bulbs to provide resistance. Both circuits have the same number of light bulbs?
Series circuit gives higher resistance compared to parallel circuit.

Light bulbs in a series circuit have the same brightness?
If they have the same resistance they will. Kirchhoff's' Law.
What element make up light bulb filament?
The filament in a light bulb is typically made of tungsten, due to its high melting point and resistance to heat. Other materials, such as carbon or other metals, can also be used in some types of light bulbs.
What are the manufacturing costs of fluorescent and incandescent light bulbs?
The costs of manufacturing costs of fluorescent and incandescent light bulbs are about the same aside from the slight different materials.
Does radiant energy serve a useful purpose?
The heat and light we receive from the sun is radiant energy, as is the light we obtain from light bulbs.
Why are wires with high resistance used in light bulbs and toasters?
High resistance wires convert the energy used, into heat. That makes the toaster heat up or the light to turn on.
What materials are needed to light a bulb in a circuit?
batteries, wire, connectors, and light bulbs
