प्रश्न
Explain the application of heating effect of electric current in an electric bulb with a diagram.
Advertisements
उत्तर
- Electric bulb works on the principle of heating effect electric of current.
- The solenoid type coil of bulb has high resistivity and very high melting point.
- When current is passed through the bulb, solenoid type coil of bulb gets heated to high temperature (upto 3400 °C) and starts glowing.
