9. Example 1. A filament in a light bulb is resistor in the form of a thin wire. The wire becomes hot enough to emit light because of the current in it. A flashlight uses two 1.5 V batteries to provide a current of 0.40 A in the filament. Determine the resistance of the glowing filament.

10. Resistance & Resistivity What is resistivity? Resistivity of metals? See table 17.1 Resistance and Temperature

11. Example 1. The heating element in an electric stove contains a wire of 1.1m and cross-sectional area 3.1x10 -6 m 2 through which electric charge flows. The wire becomes hot in response to the flowing charge. The resistivity of the material is 6.8x10 -3 °C -1 at 320 °C. Determine the resistance of the heater wire at an operating temperature of 420 °C.
