Is Resistance Inversely Related to Gradient in a Filament Bulb?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around the relationship between resistance and gradient in a filament bulb, specifically questioning if they are inversely related. The original poster seeks clarification on how to explain this relationship using a curved graph, contrasting it with the linear relationship seen in nichrome wire. Participants confirm that resistance can be calculated using voltage and current, and suggest that the inverse relationship holds true when considering the gradient of the graph. There is also a mention of the need to clarify whether the resistance is being analyzed for small changes. The conversation emphasizes the importance of understanding the graph's implications for resistance in filament bulbs.

need an urgent help on filament bulb topic

hi everyone
i am getting stuck in this assignment on question related to filament bulb.

the question goes like: is resistance and gradient inverse to one another in filament bulb and when looking at the graph (which is a curve graph)..
we need to explain on how
i could do it for nichrome wire since it had a straight line.
if you could jus tell me on how to show it and brief explanation i would be very grateful.

cheers

gradient of what ?
 


sorry for being clear. hope this one will be clearr enough.
graph is used to calculate the gradient so the question asks can you find the resistance using 1/m (1/gradient) n r they inverse to one another
 


I would say yes. Can you post the graph ?
 


okay thank you. here you go.

Yes sure, you can always calculate R given V and I.
The only doubts is if you want the resistance for small changes or not.
 
Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .
TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...
Thread 'Correct statement about a reservoir with an outlet pipe'
The answer to this question is statements (ii) and (iv) are correct. (i) This is FALSE because the speed of water in the tap is greater than speed at the water surface (ii) I don't even understand this statement. What does the "seal" part have to do with water flowing out? Won't the water still flow out through the tap until the tank is empty whether the reservoir is sealed or not? (iii) In my opinion, this statement would be correct. Increasing the gravitational potential energy of the...
