12. A standard 100-W incandescent light bulb has a filament made out of tungsten. At
room temperature (20°C), the tungsten filament has a resistance of 15 Ω. When
the light bulb operating with a wall voltage of 120 V, it gets hot. What is the
temperature of the filament when it is hot? The temperature coefficient of tungsten
-1
is 0.0044°C
.
Answer: 1975°C
