  • what is a filament lamp?
    a very thin metal (tungsten) filament in a glass bulb. when it gets hot, it gives out light. they are low in efficiency.
  • method for filament lamp practical
    set up the circuit
    vary the voltmeter reading
    measure the current
    plot a graph
    take care over one of best fit
    describe pattern
    write conclusion
  • resistance of a filament lamp increases with temperature as the current increases, the filament lamp heats up more and the resistance increases.
