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 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.
How does resistance affect the brightness of the bulb?
Increasing resistance in a circuit will decrease the current flowing through the bulb, resulting in reduced brightness. This is because the resistance restricts the flow of electrons and diminishes the amount of energy reaching the bulb to produce light.
Why does a motor have a bigger resistance than a bulb?
There is no particular reason why a motor should have a bigger resistance than a bulb. A motor's resistance must depend on what current it draws at the particular voltage it was designed to run on. Equally, a bulb's resistance must depend on what current it draws at the particular voltage it was designed to run on. A particular motor may have a higher resistance than one kind of bulb but that same motor may have a lower resistance than another kind of bulb.

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

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.
What kind of batteries dose it take to run a 10w bulb?
It takes a battery that delivers the voltage that the bulb is designed for, at a current of (10/bulb voltage) amperes for a reasonable length of time.
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.
How many lumens are in a 10w g4 bulb?
It depends on the make !! A cheap one < 100 lumen, a high quality, say Osram 140 lumen
Is the material inside a light bulb a conductor or resistance?
It has high resistance.
