Electrical resistance is technically not the same as friction though one could be used as a model for the other.

Electrical resistance in a light bulb can be seen by the light that is emitted due to the heating of the filament when current is passed through it (electrical potential is transformed into heat).

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.


What is the blank the value of the the coefficient of friction the greater the resistance to sliding?

The coefficient of friction represents the resistance to sliding between two surfaces. A higher coefficient of friction indicates greater resistance to sliding, while a lower coefficient of friction indicates less resistance.


Is Air resistance a static friction?

No, air resistance is not a form of static friction. Air resistance is a type of fluid friction that opposes the motion of an object moving through the air. Static friction, on the other hand, is the friction force that prevents an object from moving when a force is applied to it.


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.


How are static friction sliding friction and rolling friction different?

Static friction occurs when an object is at rest and resists the initial force required to set it in motion, while sliding friction is the resistance encountered when an object slides over a surface. Rolling friction is the resistance experienced when an object rolls over a surface, which is typically less than sliding friction due to the reduced contact area.

How thickness of wire affects brightness of bulb?

Considering that everything else is equal, ie. glass, incoming wire. If you are talking only about the filament wire that is attached between the Two poles inside the bulb, the answer is friction. The thicker the wire the less resistance it will have and will allow more electricity to pass without creating friction, the friction is what causes the wire to heat up and glow.


How are air resistance and friction alike?

Air resistance is a type of fluid friction (along with water resistance) and is therefore is a type of friction.

What is friction and what effects does it have on motion?

Friction is the sum of resistance to motion and as for resistance, it slow down the motion.

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


Is air resistance stronger than friction?

No. Its a form of friction.

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.
