The conductors are the two wires you see supporting the filament. The glass supporting all this is an insulator. The metal ring around the base and the very bottom of the bulb conduct the electricity into the bulb. The plastic between them is an insulator.

In incandescent bulbs, the filament of the bulb is a conductor, but has a high resistance to the flow of current, causing it to heat up and glow.
In fluorescent bulbs, the gas in the tube resists the flow and is ionized. The ultraviolet photons that it gives off cause the inside of the tube (coated with phosphors) to glow.

The light bulb has an insulator between the conductor that leads up to the filament and a conductor that leads away from the filament. The atoms of conductors accept and pass on the electrons the atoms of insulators don't.

∙ 15y agoBulb filaments are high resistance conductors. They must be conductors to let the electric current thru but they must also offer enough resistance so the filiment gets hot enough to glow.

∙ 12y agoIn a light bulb the conductor is the the metal filament inside which gives off the light and also, the metal base of the lightbulb is a conductor.
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoYes, the bulb must conduct the electricity to complete the electrical circuit. The bulb, however, is also going to absorb (use) the energy once it begins to flow.

What 2 parts of the light bulb need to be connected in order for it to light?
Both ends of the filament to a power source.
Will a 60 watt light bulb harm a light designed for 45 watts?
Yes, eventually. The components of the light itself are only designed to handle the heat of the 45 watt bulb. The extra heat from the 60 watt bulb would eventually damage parts of the light, including the wires.
Why do you have a light bulb?
Light bulb provide electrical light.
A 100 watt light bulb converts electrical energy into electromagnetic energy at a slower rate that a 40 watt light bulb?
The higher the wattage, the more electrical energy is being used. In a light bulb the electrical energy is converted to EM energy which appears in both visible and infrared parts of the spectrum, so the answer is no, it will be at a higher rate for a 100 watt bulb
Is a light bulb considered a fixture?
A fixture is what the light bulb goes into.
How many parts are there to a light bulb?
their are 8 parts to the light bulb
What three objects make a light bulb glow?
A power source (of electricity), a means to transport this power (conductors/wires), and the light bulb itself
What are the parts of an electric bulb?
The parts of a light bulb are the glass envelope, mixture of inert gases at a lower pressure, and a screw cap. Inside of the light bulb is the coiled tungsten filament, support wires, glass fuse enclosure, connecting wires, and the electrical contact.
What OF parts of circuit?
Simple parts of a circuit are switches, light bulb, battery and connecting wires.
What are the parts of the light bulb?
glass, wire, socket, current, and the eye
What is the melting point of a light bulb?
the some as glass and the other parts
How do the the parts of a light bulb work?
connect each other part
How do you replace the bulb in a brake light on a 1995 Camry?
bulbs toyotaAnswerto fix the Camry brake light--first try to change the bulb--this is usually accessed through the trunk--usually requiring a Phillips screwdriver-any parts store has the bulb...take the bulb with you to the parts store
What components do you need to make a simple series circuit to light on bulb?
You need a Battery, Light Bulb, Ammeter, Switch.
What parts of the light bulb were invented by Thomas Edison?
shape and that vacuum has to be used.
When did Thomas Edison invent parts of the light bulb?
In Friday 13, 1823
Where can i find dash board light bulb for Subaru Forester 2005?
Depending on which bulb you need, either the local auto parts store or your Subaru dealer's parts department.
