Question
The electric bulbs used these days have a coil-coiled filament. State its reason.

Solution
On account of having a coil-coiled filament, the area of spread of tungsten is much and so the heat now produced in a very small area, raises the temperatures to a high degree i.e., 2300°C, producting more bright light.
