प्रश्न
State two advantages of filling an inert gas in an evacuated electric filament lamp.
Advertisements
उत्तर
(i) The inert gas is filled at very low pressure to prevent oxidation as well as evaporation and thus increases its life.
(ii) While bulb is working, a convection current is set-up within it which carries the spurting particles of tungsten upward towards the cap and hence the blackening of the lower part (transparent portion) of the bulb is avoided.
