Question
conventional incandescent light bulbs work by sending electric currents through what type of material? non - resistant resistant
Conventional incandescent light bulbs operate by passing electric current through a resistant material. When current flows through a resistant material, electrical energy is converted into heat energy (due to the resistance). As the resistant material (like the tungsten filament in incandescent bulbs) gets heated to a high temperature, it starts to glow and emit light. A non - resistant material would not offer enough opposition to the current flow to generate sufficient heat for light emission.
