    Does Higher Resistance Mean Brighter Bulbs?

    No I don't see the contradiction when you explain like that... humm, where did I thinl there was a contradiction..? :rolleyes: If the Tunsgten had low resistance it would let more current to flow but it would bright as much as it does with the high resistance, or does it? If there is no...

    Does Higher Resistance Mean Brighter Bulbs?

    Hi Kurd & OS P = I^2R For this formula, unfortunatly I couldn't find in my tutorial. No explanations.. but looking at this formula doesn't the both increase in I and R increase the power? But then, increase in the R means decrease in I. Or should I not mix these two theories...

    Does Higher Resistance Mean Brighter Bulbs?

    Hi ! Thanks for the replies. I understand the above formula and theory. Thanks for the example. But I think I might have confused this with the following;P = IV: So, more current means less resistance (I=V/R) means more power. So, 60W has less resistance, that makes sense to me now. :) I was...

    Does Higher Resistance Mean Brighter Bulbs?

    Hi everyone ! First time to post! I am taking a distance course of a physics class now. I am bit confused about the resistance & wattage. In the circuit with the bulb, when there is a greater resistance with the bulb the more energy dissipate, therefore it shines brighter... I think...
