answered 27 Mar 2026How 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
- 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.
- The high resistance of the filament wire is responsible for the difference seen between the filament wire and the other wires of the circuit.
