Question

Difference between a bulb and an electric heater

Answer 1

Answer:

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.
