I want to do a science project on the amount of heat a lightbulb produce.  To 
begin, I need to know how does a lightbuld produce heat?  In some of your 
questions, it is said that lightbulbs convert electrical energy into light and 
heat.  How is this done?  What is the process for the lightbulb to give off 
heat?
