Explanation:

  • The electric bulb has a filament-like structure. The 'filament' is made by the tungsten.
  • When the electricity passes through the filament then the filament became hot and it produces heat so the bulb became hot or warm.
  • The tungsten is the good conductor of the electricity. So it became hot when the electricity passes through the filament. So the bulb became hot due to the heat of the filament when it is glowing.
