hi there Angela

What have you discovered so far in your research. Let us know and we can see if your are on the right path :smile:Dave

Ok. It's all in another forum. I found out that given the high resistance of a tungsten, it can produce large power when a large current passes through( P=I^2R. )And there is way to increase temperature of the conductor through external sources. So this means R increases without the current being purposely changed ( but it decreases due to increased resistance and a fixed voltage...I inferred this part...not sure whether it's correct tho)

That has nothing to do with the question you asked in your OPDave

I know. That's what I asked in the other forum. I just started this forum on this qn.

For electrostatic we only learned +/- charges and about how lightning is formed. So after that we learned about current electricity.
 
first suggestion ... do a little research
At PF we try to help people to learn for themselves

google ... what is electrostatic charges?
google ... what is electric charge?

see what you come up with ... then come back with specific questions on anything you need clarified :smile:regards
