To Discuss:The advantages of fluorescent bulb over an incandescent bulb.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
When it comes to a typical incandescent light bulb, and heating it up, electricity passes through a wire inside the bulb. It glows when it is hot enough. A fluorescent light bulb uses gas inside the bulb to light up: it excites a mixture of gases as electricity passes through it, which are converted into light.
Fluorescent bulbs are long-lasting than incandescent bulb,produce less heat than incandescent bulb, and are six times more efficient than incandescent bulb.
Conclusion:
Hence, fluorescent bulbs are better than incandescent bulbs.
