Hi there,

can anyone pls explain why
1. the current through a filament light globe is greater in the first few milliseconds after it is turned on before it reaches it's "steady" glow?

2. is it better to have headlights in a motos vehicle connected in parallel rather than in series?

greatly appreciated!

1. filliment resistance is temperature depentent.

2. In series one goes out both go out. In parallel they go out one at a time.
