The filament of a 240 v, 100 w electric lamp heats up from room temperature to its operating temperature. as it heats up, its resistance increases by a factor of 16. what is the resistance of this lamp at room temperature?
a 36ω
b 580ω
c 1.5 kω
d 9.2 kω

We need to use the formula P = IV, where P is the power, I is the current and V is the voltage. 
When we substitute our values in, we get:
100 = 240I, and so I = 0.42 Amps
Now, we have to work out the Resistance in the circuit at the operating temperature.

We do this using the formula V = IR
240 = (100/240) x R, and we get R = 576 Ohms

Since the resistance has gone up by a factor of 16, all we have to do now is to divide this answer by 16 to get the resistance at room temperature.

576/16 = 36 Ohms

Hope I helped!! xx

Texture and composition are different because they are not the same aspect. texture has to do with feel and so on, where as composition is the chemical makeup which you cant touch like you can texture.
