    Resistance and Resistivity of tungsten wire

    please check my work someone. A tungsten wire has a radius of .075mm and is heated from 20.0 to 1320 degrees C. The temperature coefficient of resistivity is 4.5x10^-3 (C)^-1. When 120V is applied across the ends of the hot wire, a current os 1.5A is produced. How long is the wire? Neglect...

    Tungsten wires of all electric light bulbs

    I'm looking for a jump start with this one. I'm having trouble getting started. The tungsten wires of all electric light bulbs are designed to glow at about the same temperature. This requires, as a first approximation, that the power per unit surface area of the filament be the same for...
