Making a Filament

March 15th

We talked about a filament and how that is the wire that lights up an incandescent light bulb. We also discussed and analyzed advantages and disadvantages of using LEDs, Compact Florescents and Incandescent light bulbs.

Using nichrome wire, we made filaments and watched them glow.

You can see the wire in the middle glowing a reddish/orange hue.  


See the orange glow in the middle of the picture.
