What is the hot resistance (in Ω) of a 24 W light bulb that runs on 120 V AC? and b) If the bulb's operating temperature is 2700°C, what is its resistance (in Ω) at 2540°C?
What similarities can you draw between the formulas of finding the capacitance and resistance in series and parallel circuits?
Aside from P=IV, what other ways can we obtain power using Ohm's Law?
For temperature-dependent ohmic resistors (at least the kind we're focusing on), the relationship between resistance & temperature is linear. With that in mind, compare the formula for temperature-dependent ohmic resistance to the equation for a line (y = mx + b) and determine the slope and the y-intercept for a graph of R vs. T. Your answers should be in terms of Ro, ?, & To. [NOTE: for Ro & To the subscript is a lowercase o]
R = Ro[1 + ?(T − To)]
slope =
y-intercept =
