Question

guess what would happen if the filament in the bulb is made thicker than the regular filament?​

Answer 1

Answer:

· If you use the same battery but replace a thick wire with a thinner one, the electric current will get smaller and a light bulb in the circuit should get dimmer. ... That's why it glows—as the battery pushes current through the filament inside the bulb, the high resistance turns the electrons' energy into heat.

Answer 2

If the filament in the bulb is made thicker then the light from the bulb will be dimmer.

• Filament wire of a bulb is very thin to get more resistance, thus converting more electricity into thermal energy and as a result, getting more light out of it.
• The filament of the bulb is generally a material which is of high resistance and high melting point. When current is passed through it, it gets heated up and turns red hot and this is the reason it produces light.
• To get a high resistance the cross-sectional area must must be small that is the wire must be thin.
• Hence is the filament is made thicker it will have lower resistance and so the light produced out of it will be low.
