The filament lamp is a common<br />
type of light bulb. It contains<br />
a thin coil of wire called the<br />
filament. This heats up when an<br />
electric current passes through it<br />
and produces light as a result.<br />

Incandescent light bulbs have filaments which are made mainly<br />
from the element tungsten, the metal element used for the<br />
filaments in incandescent light bulbs.<br />
Experiments were made with different materials to use as the<br />
filament, including natural fibres, pure metals and alloys of<br />
different metals, to find the material which had the longest life<br />
whilst glowing brightly enough to give out visible light. The metal<br />
Tungsten was found to be the best, because of its high melting<br />
point (almost 3700 K) and good resistance to electrical current.
