    Why Do Magnetic Domains Aligned with a Magnet Increase in Size?

    I have a conceptual question. I have two physics books that say "In a common iron nail, the domains are randomly oriented. When a strong magnet is brought nearby, two effects take place. One is a growth in size of domains that are oriented in the direction of the magnetic field. This growth...

    Does filament size or resistance affect the brightness of a lightbulb?

    Does anyone have a clear understanding on the relationship between the filament size of a lightbulb and the wattage? I was under the impression that resistance causes the filament to heat up and glow, so the more resistance the brighter the light bulb. A filament with more resistance, then...
