When burning normally, the temperature of the filament in a 230 V, 150 W gas-filled tungsten lamp is 2,750°C. Assuming a room temperature of 16°C, calculate (a) the normal current taken by the lamp (b) the current taken at the moment of switching on. Temperature coefficient of tungsten is 0.0047 Ω/Ω°C at 0°C.
