What is the thickness of the filament in light bulbs?
the filament is neither too thick nor too light
What is difference between regular household light bulbs and led bulbs?
LED light bulbs definitely are more energy efficient than regularly normal light bulbs. Depending on the usage, LED lights can also last maybe twice or three times as much as regular bulbs. LED ones are better.
Why do LED lamps is as hot as incandescent?
Incandescent bulbs generate light through resistive heating of a tungsten filament, to such a point that the filament glows and provides light. This resistive heating produces large amounts of waste heat and a relatively small amount of power translated into light. In an LED, there is relatively little waste heat, as photons (packets of light) are directly generated. Although it is much more efficient of a light emitter than an incandescent light, there is some small amount of heat generated.
What do the support wires do on a light bulb?
As the name implies, support wires support the filament wire in the bulb, The filament, of course is the wire that glows white hot, giving out light
How available are filament light bulbs?
I have not had any problem obtaining incandescent light bulbs.
Why Led bulb are better than filament bulbs for maximum reduction in the consumption of electrical energy explain?
LEDs produce visible light and not heat. Filament bulbs use much of their energy to produce heat. The LED bulb produces more light per watt consumed.
What is the difference between a filamant bulb and an LED?
a filament heats up and is not as efficient due to heat loss versus an LED (light emitting diode)
Why are LED flashlights better than halogen flashlights?
The LED bulb, which LED stands for Light Emitting Diode, does not have a filament and therefore lasts longer than a regular lightbulb.
How heat gets from the filament to the kernel?
Electric current passes through a filament and heats up the filament which then emits light. The heat is a waste product in this case because all the work being done doesn't convert to the desired product, which is light. Light sources like LED or fluorescent can give out as much light with less heat and are therefore more efficient.
What type of light is a light bulb that uses a filament?
A light bulb that uses a filament is also known as an incandescent light bulb.
What makes up the filament of light bulbs?
Filament of light bulbs are made up of Tungsten.
What is the thickness of the filament in light bulbs?
the filament is neither too thick nor too light
What happens to the filament when light bulbs blows?
The filament breaks.
What is the wire inside a light bulb called?
filament
What converts electrical energy into light?
We see the conversion of electrical energy into light in both incandescent and fluorescent lamps. The light emitting diode (LED) also does this.
How do LED displays work?
Light emitting diodes (LEDs) do not have a filament, like other bulbs do. They emit light by moving electrons inside the bulb. LED displays use up less energy than other displays.
How efficient is a filament light bulb?
about 10% the filament light bulbs give off about 90% heat and 10% light
