12. A standard 100-W incandescent light bulb has a filament made out of tungsten. At<br />

room temperature (20°C), the tungsten filament has a resistance of 15 Ω. When<br />

the 15 Ω light bulb operating with a wall voltage of 120 V, it gets hot. What is the<br />

temperature of the filament when it is hot The temperature coefficient of tungsten<br />

is 0.0044°C -1 40 Ω<br />

. Answer: 1975°C<br />
