Why is it hot to touch to an incandescent bulb?? Please reply fast.

Thank you in anticipation.

The reason an incandescent bulb feels hot to the touch is because it produces heat as a byproduct of producing light. Incandescent bulbs work by passing electric current through a filament, which gets extremely hot and emits light as a result. However, only a small portion of the electrical energy is actually converted into light, while the majority is transformed into heat.

If you want to know why the filament of an incandescent bulb gets hot, it involves the concept of resistance in electrical circuits. When an electric current passes through a material with resistance, it causes the material to heat up. In the case of an incandescent bulb, the filament is made of tungsten, which has a high resistance to electrical current. As a result, as electricity flows through the filament, it encounters resistance and generates heat.

To directly experience the heat of an incandescent bulb, you can carefully touch it with the back of your hand or fingers. However, please note that incandescent bulbs can reach high temperatures, and prolonged contact can cause burns. It is advisable to handle them with caution or when they are turned off and have had time to cool down.
