A 580 mm long tungsten wire, with a 0.048 mm diameter circular cross section, is wrapped around in the shape of a coil and used as a filament in an incandescent light bulb. When the light bulb is connected to a battery, a current of 0.536 A is measured through the filament. Tungsten has a resistivity of 4.9 x 10-8 Ohms x m. How many electrons pass through this filament in 5 seconds? What is the resistance of this filament? What is the voltage of the battery that would produce this current in the filament?
