State whether the resistance of filament of a bulb will decrease, remain unchanged or increase when it glows.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The temperature of the filament of a bulb increases when it glows. When the temperature of a conductor increases, its resistance increases. So, resistance of the filament will also increase.
