Knowing

P=VI

and

R=V/I

we derive that

P=VxV/R

i.e. resistance is inversely proportional to power.

Resistance for a higher power is lower.

Which has the thickest filament - a high-resistance or a low-resistance bulb?

A high-resistance bulb typically has a thicker filament compared to a low-resistance bulb. The thicker filament in a high-resistance bulb can withstand the greater heat generated by the increased resistance, resulting in a longer lifespan for the bulb.


How much resistance required to convert 12v DC to 6v DC?

Use a 2.25 ohm 25watt ballast resistor;renault used them to drop the voltage for the Engine control computers.


What is cold resistance?

That is e.g. the resistance of a cold bulb before the bulb is lighted and heats up.


What gives the biggest resistance 3 volt bulb or 6 volt bulb?

3 volt bulb gives the biggest resistance


How do we calculate the cold resistance of the bulb?

The cold resistance of a bulb can be approximated by measuring the resistance of the filament with a multimeter when the bulb is turned off and at room temperature. The resistance measured in this state can give an estimation of the cold resistance of the bulb. Keep in mind that this value may not be exact due to factors like the temperature coefficient of resistance and the non-linear behavior of the filament's resistance.


Does the resistance of a filament light bulb change as the bulb gets brighter?

Yes, the resistance of a filament light bulb increases as the bulb gets brighter. This is due to the increase in temperature of the filament, which causes the resistance to go up.


What does a light bulb have?

The resistance of a light bulb varies, depending on the type of bulb, the power rating, and the temperature. A typical incandescent 60 watt bulb, for instance has a cold resistance of about 30 ohms, and a hot resistance of about 240 ohms.


What is the general resistance of a tungsten filament?

The resistance of the filament in a light bulb is(voltage at which the bulb is designed to operate)2/(the rated power/watts of the bulb)


For bulbs connected in series the high watt bulb has high resistance?

No, the highest wattage bulb will have the lowest resistance.


Which is brighter 10 watts or 25 watts bulb?

That depends on so much more then just the watt of the bulb, but if you have two identical bulbs where the only difference is the amount of watt, then logic dictates that 25watt is brighter then 10watt


Why does the resistance of a filament bulb depend on the current in the bulb?

The resistance of a piece of wire changes with temperature. In a filament bulb the wire is heated to about 3000 degrees C so a large change in resistance can be expected. A 240 v 105 w halogen bulb has a cold resistance of 35 ohms, but when running its resistance is 549 ohms.


Is the material inside a light bulb a conductor or resistance?

It has high resistance.
