Hi guys..
Would a light bulb's current and voltage change according to ohm's law?
Thanks..

Ohm's law is a fundamental principle in physics that explains the relationship between voltage, current, and resistance in an electrical circuit. It states that the current flowing through a conductor is directly proportional to the voltage applied and inversely proportional to the resistance of the conductor.
A light bulb is a type of electrical load that obeys Ohm's law. When a voltage is applied to a light bulb, the current flowing through it will change accordingly. As the resistance of the light bulb increases, the current decreases, and vice versa.
Yes, Ohm's law can be applied to all types of light bulbs, including incandescent, fluorescent, and LED bulbs. However, the resistance of each type of bulb may vary, so the current and voltage relationship may differ.
The resistance of a light bulb is directly related to its brightness. As the resistance increases, the current decreases, resulting in a dimmer bulb. Conversely, as the resistance decreases, the current increases, resulting in a brighter bulb.
If the voltage applied to a light bulb exceeds its rated voltage, the current flowing through the bulb will also increase, potentially causing the bulb to overheat and burn out. It is important to use light bulbs with the correct rated voltage to prevent damage and ensure safety.
