An incandescent light bulb uses a coiled filament of tungsten that is 580 mm long with a diameter of 46.0 μm. At 20.0∘C tungsten has a resistivity of 5.25×10−8Ω⋅m. Its temperature coefficient of resistivity is 0.0045 (C∘)−1, and this remains accurate even at high temperatures. The temperature of the filament increases linearly with current, from 20∘C when no current flows to 2520∘C at 1.00 A of current. What is the resistance of the light bulb at 20∘C? What is the...
