The gas usually filled in the electric bulb is

  • A.Nitrogen
  • B.Hydrogen
  • C.Carbon dioxide
  • D.Oxygen

Answer: A

Electric bulbs are filled with nitrogen, usually mixed with argon.

The inert filling stops the tungsten filament from burning up and, by being at some pressure, slows the evaporation of tungsten so the filament lasts longer and the glass blackens less. Both gases are cheap and completely unreactive at the filament's temperature.
