State whether the resistance of filament of a bulb will decrease, remain unchanged or increase when it glows.

Open in App

Solution

The temperature of the filament increases when it glows. So when the temperature of the wire (bulb filament) increases, ions in it vibrate violently. As a result the number of collisions increases and hence the resistance increases.
