Question

​The filament of a bulb is made extremely thin and long in order to achieve:​

A.

​high resistance​

B.

​high current​

C.

​high resistivity​

D.

​high voltage​

Correct option is A

The correct answer is option (a) high resistance

The filament of a bulb is made extremely thin and long in order to achieve high resistance.

​High resistance: When the filament is thin and long, it increases the length through which the current flows, thus increasing the resistance. The resistance RRR of a conductor is given by the formula:

R=ρLA\frac{L}{A}

where:

​​R is resistance, L is the length of the filament, A is the cross-sectional area of the filament
