उत्तर

  1. Electric bulb works on the principle of heating effect electric of current.
  2. The solenoid type coil of bulb has high resistivity and very high melting point.
  3. When current is passed through the bulb, solenoid type coil of bulb gets heated to high temperature (upto 3400 °C) and starts glowing.
