QUESTION:

CE? ?Predict/Explain? The resistivity of tungsten increases with temperature, (a) When a light containing a tungsten filament heats up, does its power consumption increase, decrease, or stay the same? (b)? Choose the best explanation from among the following: I?. The voltage is unchanged, and therefore an increase in resistance implies a reduced power, as we can see from P = V2/R. II. Increasing the resistance increases the power, as is clear from P = I2R. III. The power consumption is independent of resistance, as we can see from P = IV.
