How to find the length of a wire of a 3000 Kelvin incandescent light bulb that produces L = 60W of power. The diameter of the wire is 0.00005m.
I'm quite confused, as the resistivity of the bulb isn't given so I'm not sure what equation to use as resistivity = resistance × area / length does not seem to work because I'm missing 2 variables.
