Expert Solution
Step 1

Given:-

A voltmeter connected across the terminals of a tungsten-filament light bulb measures V = 112 V.

An ammeter in line with the bulb registers a current of I = 0.536A.

Find:- 

(a) Find the resistance of the light bulb. 

(b) Find the resistivity of tungsten (in Ω·m) at the bulb's operating temperature if the filament has an uncoiled length of L = 0.553 m and a radius of r =  2.43 × 10-5 m.
