    • 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.
