Thank you very much. I get it better now.

Temperature at thinner points would be higher than less thinner points as the have higher resistance. Since filament is tungsten, I don't think the temperature would be high enough to melt the filament even with the increased temperature. I would say life of the bulb would decrease.

Nothing coming to my mind. Except that the luminous Flux won't be same along the filament. But even if that's true, I'm guessing we won't be able to observe that variation.

Ooh OK. So the bulb gets dimmer due to increased resistance and due to the to the evaporated black particles of the filament.

They would fall off from the metal. Most likely landing on the soft glass of the bulb

Resistance would increase and thus power consumed by bulb decreases. Bulb gets dimmer.

But the bulb should still be OK

Gets thinner

Hello here Why is it necessary that the filament of an Incandescent bulb to have low evaporation rate below melting point?

Ooh yeah, sorry guys, I meant to write maximum. Thanks for the correction. So is there any such rule in the UK (like the NEC210.52 for America), that talks about spacing between sockets ? Also please what is the book that talks about wiring regulations, british standard ?

Hello here, Please, what is the minimum spacing between sockets is based on the BSI standard or any other standard being used in the UK. I was wondering maybe there is such specification just like in the NEC which required 12 feet between sockets. Also please, is there any major difference...

I recently just completed a course all about linear circuits too. Unfortunately I couldn't get a good textbook either. The best I got was "Fundamentals of Electric Circuits" by Charles K. Alexander and Matthew N.O. Sadiku. Hope you'll find it more useful than I did.

Hello So please I'm quite new at C programming. I've been using scanf a lot in my codes but I also encounter some problems with it and I have been told to try and avoid using scanf. Now I'm learning getc function, but don't quite get it fully. I've surfed the net and all I see are very basic...

Thank you very much Mark44. The mistake was in the conversion specifier I was using to call my iTransAmount, like you mentioned. I have replaced the %f in the scanf functions with %d and everything works fine now. Really grateful. I have also taken note of your comment on the last 'else'...

Sorry, but w/"code" tags, not clear on that. But I have copied the code directly now. Please be free to comment on any other aspect of the code presented below. Mod note: Added code tags to the code below. /*Simple Banking System*/ # include <stdio.h> int main () { int iSelection; int...
