Threadlike wire that gives off light in light buLb?
You are thinking of a filament.
What is filament coil?
it is the coiled wire that heats up and gives off light in a incandescent (ordinary) light bulb.
When the bulb is the resistance what this tells about the resistance?
An incandescent bulb has a filament that has a resistance. The value of the resistance determines the current that will flow for a given supply voltage. The heat generated by the current flowing through the filament gives off light. As the resistance of the filament decreases the current increases and you get more light.
Is is ok if the lighting fixture ground wire is wrapped around the bottom of the chain and the ground wire from the light box is connected to the ground screw on the mounting crossbar?
If you are referring to a porcelain or plastic ceiling light fixture most do not have a place to connect the ground wire. You cannot ground these type fixtures. Just connect the ground wire to the mounting crossbar and forget about connecting it to the light itself. It is on the ceiling and will never be touched unless you change the bulb and then you will have the switch in the off position. It is perfectly safe.
What do you need to make a simple series circuit to light a bulb?
To make a simple series circuit to light a bulb, the simplest components are a power source (such as a battery); a switch (to turn the power on or off); the bulb (obviously !); and some wires to connect everything together.
Threadlike wire that gives off light in light buLb?
You are thinking of a filament.
What is a word for the threadlike wire that gives off light in an electric light bulb?
Filament.
How do light bulbs do work?
the wire travels to the bulb and this metal needle that the electricity hits it and it gives off light.
What is filament coil?
it is the coiled wire that heats up and gives off light in a incandescent (ordinary) light bulb.
What is the use of a light bulb?
How about, it gives off light.
What is the difference between led light and a normal light bulb?
a normal light bulb gives off more light
What is the name of a wire that gives off light?
A filament.
What are two ways that an object gives of light?
A torch emits light from the bulb. A mirror gives off light by reflection.
Is a light bulb an example og electromagnetic energy?
A light bulb is not an example of electromagnetic energy, but the light which the bulb gives off is an example of electromagnetic energy.
Why the bulb is not lighting when one wire or terminal is not connected?
When one wire or terminal is not connected to a light bulb, it is not possible for electricity to complete the circuit. When a circuit is not completed, the bulb will not light. An off switch, for example, breaks the circuit.
What forms of energy are given off by a light bulb?
A light bulb gives off mainly light energy as well as heat energy. When electricity flows through the filament in the bulb, it gets hot and emits light.
What happens if you take a device out of a series circuit?
the light bulb gives off more light
