Filament Lamp

Cards (9)

  • What is the effect of temperature on filament lamps?
    Resistance increases as temperature rises
  • Why does resistance increase in filament lamps with temperature?
    Higher temperature causes more metal ions to vibrate
  • How does increased temperature affect electron movement in filament lamps?
    It makes it harder for electrons to move
  • What is the relationship between temperature and the metal ions in filament lamps?
    Metal ions vibrate more at higher temperatures
  • What happens to the filament lamp's resistance as the temperature increases?
    Resistance increases due to more vibrations
  • What is the impact of increased resistance on electron movement in filament lamps?
    It hinders the movement of electrons
  • What is the term for the difference in electrical potential in a circuit?
    Current potential difference
  • Why is current potential difference important in circuits?
    It drives the flow of electric current
  • How does current potential difference relate to resistance in a circuit?
    Higher resistance reduces current for a given potential
