How does the wire in the filament of a light bulb behave differently to the other wires in the circuit when the current flows? b) What property of the filament wire accounts for this difference?

A.VERIFIED ANSWERfact-checked by tutors
  1. The behavior of the wire in the filament of a light bulb is different from the other wires of the circuit as the wire used in the filament becomes white hot while the other wires do not heat much.
  2. The high resistance of the filament wire is responsible for the difference seen between the filament wire and the other wires of the circuit.
