What is the difference between a filament of a bulb and an element of an electric heater?

The heater element is thicker wire, and has lower resistance. It still has enough resistance to glow red hot (producing heat) but does not glow white-hot and very brightly like a light bulb filament. Also, it lasts almost indeifnitely. whereas the light bulb filament has a finite life - it will "burn out" sooner or later.

What is the coil of the wire called in a light?
element Filament
What is the difference between lumped element and distributed element resonators?
The difference is that in a lumped element resonator, the circuit's elements are localized together. In a distributed element resonator, they are spread apart.
Is electric wires a mixture or a compound?
electricity is not a compound, mixture or element.
What is the difference between FEM and FDM?
FEMis finite element method, where as FDM is finite diffrence methodFEM is more accrate,it consume less time to solve.
What is the difference between friction and antifriction bearing?
in friction type the bearing metal is direct contact with shaft metal, but in the antifiction the rolling element is contact with the bearing races only.
Which element is used to make the filament of electric bulbs?
They're made of Tungsten.
Element of electric heaters and filament lamp are made of high resistivity materials this is done to the filament length?
Not too sure bout it babe. Wish I knew the answer. Will get back to you if I do, yea mate?
Which element is used in element bulbs as filament?
tungsten
What is a filament element?
A filament is the little wire you see inside of a light bulb that glows normally reddish or orangish when you supply electricity to it such as when you turn on the "LIght Switch". I just simplified it alot, if you need to know more in depth just let me know on this qustion page. An element can also exist in appliances as larger, such as the upper and lower elements in an electric oven, on top of the stove like a burner in electric ranges or in electric water heaters.
What is a filament resistor?
A filament bulb resistor is the common type of light bulb. It contain a thin coil wire called filament. It produces light as a result. It is made mainly from the element tungsten. The metle tungsten has very high melting point and it is a good conductor of electric current
Which element is used in which element is used in light Bulbs as a filament?
Tungsten
What is the difference between a parent element and a daughter element?
biology
Which element is used in a light bulb filament?
Tungsten is an element. It is used in bulbs
Does an electric field exist outside a parallel plate capacitor?
Electric fields exist everywhere there is an electrical potential difference between one place and another. A simple radio antenna has an alternating electric field from one end of an element to the other.
Difference between and compound and an element?
a compound is more then one element
What is the coil of the wire called in a light?
element Filament
What element is in an incondescent light bulb filament?
Tungsten.
