Question
State whether the resistance of filament of a bulb will decrease, remain unchanged or increase when it glows.
Short/Brief Note
Advertisements
Solution
The temperature of the filament increases when it glows. So, when the temperature of the wire (bulb filament) increases, ions in it vibrate violently. As a result, the number of collisions increases and hence the resistance increases.
