Why does tungsten metal used to make solenoid type coil in an electric bulb?
Advertisements
उत्तर
Tungsten metal is used to make solenoid type coil in an electric bulb because:
- Tungsten metal has high resistance and high melting point (nearly 3422°C)
- Because of current it gets heated at high temperature and emits light.

Tara, after completing her exams, went to her grandmother's house along with her younger brother Rahul. One day, Rahul came home after playing and switched on the fan and air conditioner. At the same time, his grandmother was preparing a milkshake for him using a mixer. Suddenly, they heard a big sound and the electricity of the house got shut down. Tara is called an electrician. He said the main reason for supply to shut down was overloading.

In a set up the students coated iron nails with zinc metal and noted that, iron nails coated with zinc prevents rusting. They also observed that zinc initially acts as a physical barrier, but an extra advantage of using zinc is that it continues to prevent rusting even if the layer of zinc is damaged. Name this process of rust prevention and give any two other methods to prevent rusting.
