Filament of electric bulb is made of _____.

  • A.Copper
  • B.Tungsten
  • C.Lead
  • D.Silicone

Answer: B

The filament is made of Tungsten.

An incandescent bulb gives light by heating its filament to well over 2,000 °C. Tungsten has the highest melting point of all metals, about 3,422 °C, and a low rate of evaporation, so it can glow white-hot for hundreds of hours.

Copper and lead melt at about 1,085 °C and 327 °C, far too low. Silicone is a rubbery polymer, not a metal, and would burn.
