Filament lamp Definition and 13 Threads

I was looking for any credible sources who could reveal the resistance of a normal tungsten filament bulb at room temp 20 C? I heard its cold resistance is about 9.5ohms. Is that the resistance at rtp? Thanks a lot in advance!

Hello all. Firstly I am sorry if this is in the wrong place but I was unsure exactly where it fits in as it involves physics, integrated equations, and computer programming. I am trying to write an emulator for a machine which is running 256 filament lamps in a 16*16 matrix. I want to simulate...

Homework Statement State and use simple assumptions to show that ' Power is proportional to V^5' is the expected relationship for a pure tungsten filament bulb. Homework Equations V=IR I=dq/dt Q=mcT The Attempt at a Solution I tried to use a simple model where the rate of heat loss is...

Homework Statement So this was the question: The 60W filament lamp is connected to a 6.0 V battery. The resistance of the lamp in this circuit is 70 Ohms. Explain why this value differs from the value given in (a)(iv) when the lamp is connected to the 230V supply. My answer was: V=IR, P=IV...

Hi everyone, So one of my students has asked me a question which I'm not sure how to answer. The question is: Why does the wire that supplies current to the filament lamp in a light bulb not heat up, even though the filament itself does? Please let me know your thoughts! Thank you :)

Changing voltage - independent variable current flowing - independent variable The investigation was aimed at measuring current at different potential differences, before the filament lamp started to shine and when it was shining so as to observe both ohmic and non-ohmic behaviour. Also after...

doing experiment today in which the intensity profile of a filament lamp (of surface temp around 2000K I think) is studied by passing it through a rotating grating apparatus and then reading the output from oscilloscope. My question is why the intensity profile intensity profile the...

i have to have my lab report ready in the next 1 hour and i am stuck. in my experiment we had a varied power supply , an ammeter and a voltmetter both with small error (and digital). i have taken about 15 measurements of potential difference and its respective current. the circuit had in one...

Homework Statement what does k and n relate to? i can work them out but don't know exactly what they are. Homework Equations I=kV^n The Attempt at a Solution i think the k and n have something to do with temperature and the tungsten metal in the lamp (coefficient of resistance?)...

Hi there, First post here guys! :biggrin: Recently i have been assigned my coursework on measuring the resistance of a filament lamp whereby an experiment was carried out by increasing the voltage through the filament lamp in intervals of 0.5 volts and measuring the current. I have since made...

From wikipedia: A filament lamp obeys ohms law within certain limits of voltage and current so does that mean it is an ohmic device? Also from wikipedia: Sounds reasonable as well. Im inclined to believe the second quote since there are only a few values that the filament lamp will...

I am using a Vacum filament lamp, i wanted to know will the temperature of the surface of the bulb will be same as room temp at 0V. the bulb is attached to a power supply. thanks
