9 8 Read the following passage about electric light bulbs and answer the questions that follow: The structure of a light bulb is very simple. At the base, it has two metal contacts, which connect to the mains circuit. The metal contacts are attached to two stiff metal wires, which are attached to a thin metal filament. The filament is held in the middle of the glass bulb. The glass bulb is filled with an inert gas, such as argon. The filament in a light bulb is made of a long, thin wire of tungsten metal. The filament for a 60-W bulb can be as long as 2 m, but it is made into a coil of less than 3 cm long. Tungsten has the highest melting point (3422 C) among all metals. When the bulb is connected to a power supply, an electric current flows through the filament. The current heats up the filament. When the filament is hot enough, it gives out visible light. For tungsten, it emits a large amount of visible light when its temperature reaches about 2200 C. At such an extreme temperature, some tungsten will change into vapour. If the inside of the bulb is a vacuum, tungsten becomes vapour easily and the filament will disintegrate in a short time. This greatly reduces the life of the bulb. Today inert gases such as argon are used to fill the bulbs. The gas makes vaporization of tungsten much slower. Besides, it does not react with tungsten. This extends the life of the bulbs. Source: HowStuffWorks (a) You are given two light bulbs, A and B. Bulb A has a thinner filament than bulb B. Write down the relationship between the resistance and the length and cross-sectional area of the filament. Hence state which bulb has a lower resistance. The filaments are of the same material and length. (b) State an advantage of using tungsten over other metals for making the bulb filament. (1 mark) - 8 -
