What type of a circuit do flashlights use?

A flashlight is a series circuit. The batteries positive end connects to the flashlights switch. The switch connects to the center pin of the light bulb.

What seems to be making the light bulb turn on in your circuit?

The light bulb in the circuit turns on due to the flow of electric current, which is facilitated by a closed circuit. When the switch is closed, it completes the circuit, allowing electrons to move from the power source through the bulb, causing it to emit light. The resistance in the bulb converts electrical energy into light and heat, resulting in illumination.


What is meant by cold resistance of filament lamp?

It means exactly what it sounds like. The resistance of an incandescent bulb's filament depends on its temperature. A filament has a positive temperature coefficient, which means that its resistance increases as its temperature increases. A typical 40 watt bulb (120 volts) has a cold resistance of about 28 ohms, but its hot, operating resistance is about 360 ohms. If the cold resistance were constant, the bulb would dissipate 379 watts. In fact, cold turn on is the most stressful time for a bulb.
