Tungsten is a poor conductor of heat because it has a high melting point and a crystal structure that hinders the movement of heat energy. Its dense atomic structure creates more resistance for heat transfer compared to other metals, making it less efficient at conducting heat.

Why tungsten glows?

tungsten is a poor conductor of electricity,tungsten glows when electrical energy from the energy source is flowing through the conductor of electricity and when electrical energy reach the metal filament(tungsten) the tungsten gets electrical energy and produce heat when it became white-hot and the tungsten glows the glows is called light.

conductor


Is the tungesten filament a good conductor?

Tungsten is a good conductor of electricity. If it was a poor conductor and highly resistive then electricity would never pass through it as a filament inside a light bulb, therefore, it would never glow.

Why is titanium a poor conductor of thermal heat and electricity?

Actually tungsten is a great conductor of heat and electricity. Tungsten is used a light bulb filaments. If Tungsten was a poor conductor of heat and electricity the bulb in the circuit would not glow because there wouldn't be electricity passing through the circuit. Tungsten is also used as an electrode in gas tungsten arc welding. Electricity passes through the tungsten (negative) and moves to the workpiece (positive) for most applications.
