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...

A metallurgist has invented a new tungsten alloy for use
in the filaments of light bulbs that is supposed to burn brighter
with the use of less energy. A company investigates the potential
costs of producing the new type of bulb and decides that production
would be economically feasible if the bulbs would last an average
of longer than 2000 hours in continuous usage. Twenty-five of the
new bulbs are tested and found to last an average of 2240 hours...
