Why we cannot use a bulb instead of a resistor in ohm law

Open in App

Solution

The filament lamp does not follow Ohm's Law. The resistance of a filament lamp increases as the temperature of its filament increases. As a result, the current flowing through a filament lamp is not directly proportional to the voltage across it.
Hence we cannot use the bulb.
