Chapter 27, Problem 27.81AP
The potential difference across the filament of a light-bulb is maintained at a constant value while equilibrium temperature is being reached. The steady-state current in the bulb is only one-tenth of the current drawn by the bulb when it is first turned on. If the temperature coefficient of resistivity for the bulb at 20.0°C is 0.004 50 (°C)-1 and the resistance increases linearly with increasing temperature, what is the final operating temperature of the filament?
