Why is heat produced when current is passed through a light bulb
Answers
When a current passes through a wire, a part of the electrical energy is converted into heat energy and the wire gets heated. This is known as heating effect of electric current. However in an electric bulb the filament gets hot which in turn glows and produces light.
Joule heating is caused by interactions between charge carriers (usually electrons) and the body of the conductor (usually atomic ions). A voltage difference between two points of a conductor creates an electric field that accelerates charge carriers in the direction of the electric field, giving them kinetic energy.
Why is heat produced when current is passed through a light bulb?
When an electric current is passed through a conductor, the conductor becomes hot after some time and produce heat. This happens due to the conversion of some electric energy passing through the conductor into heat energy. When current flows through a conductor, heat energy is generated in the conductor.
