Determine the length of the tungsten filament in a 100 watt lightbulb given: (i) the resistivity of tungsten is 5.6 × 10−8 Ω · m

, (ii) the filament diameter is 0.0018 inches, and (iii) that the filament temperature is about 2550°C when it is "on". Show your work. How is possible to use this length filament in the bulb? Explain! Hint: Assume a ambient temperature of 25°C and an operating voltage of 120Vrms (more on this later!), and you will have to look up the temperature coefficient of tungsten to complete the calculations.

Answer:

0.34148 m

Explanation:

\rho = Resistivity of tungsten = 5.6\times 10^{-8}\ \Omega m

d = Diameter = 0.0018 inch

r = Radius = \dfrac{r}{2}=\dfrac{0.0018}{2}=0.0009\ in

r=0.0009\times 0.0254=0.00002286\ m

\alpha = Temperature coefficient of tungsten = 0.0045 /^{\circ}C

Power is given by

P=\dfrac{V^2}{R}\\\Rightarrow R=\dfrac{V^2}{P}\\\Rightarrow R=\dfrac{120^2}{100}\\\Rightarrow R=144\ \Omega

We have the equation

R_2=R_1[1+\alpha(T_2-T_1)]\\\Rightarrow R_1=\dfrac{R_2}{1+\alpha(T_2-T_1)}\\\Rightarrow R_1=\dfrac{144}{1+0.0045(2550-25)}\\\Rightarrow R_1=11.64812\ \Omega

Resistance is given by

R=\rho\dfrac{l}{A}\\\Rightarrow l=\dfrac{RA}{\rho}\\\Rightarrow l=\dfrac{11.64812\times \pi (0.00002286)^2}{5.6\times 10^{-8}}\\\Rightarrow l=0.34148\ m

The length of the filament is 0.34148 m

*(MAKE SURE YOU MAKE NOTE OF THE NEGATIVE FORCES AND SUBTRACT THEM!)*

Explanation:

Top left: 17N+25N+25N-42N= 25N

Top right: 65N+200N-65N-150N-200N= 150N

Bottom left: 189N+123N+284N-96N-188N-312N= 0N

Bottom right: 34N+77N-12N-34N= 65N

I hope this helps! :))
