Explain that filament-lamp resistance increases as temperature rises.
The variation of current I with potential difference V for a filament lamp is shown in Fig. 5.1.
Fig. 5.1
The resistance of the filament lamp increases with potential difference.
Explain why the resistance varies in this way.
(as p.d. increases, current increases so) temperature increases
