Question:
The surface temperature of the filament in an incandescent light bulb is 1400 ∘C. If we double the current flowing through the light bulb without changing its resistance, what will the surface temperature become?
I’m confused on how to solve this. I thought of using ohm’s law but I don’t know how it could relate to temperature. Thanks

Answer:
The surface temperature become 2092.9793°C
Explanation:
Given data:
T₁ = surface temperature of the filament = 1400°C = 1673 K
Double the current flowing through the light bulb
Question: What will the surface temperature become, T = ?
Increases the current by the double, increases the heat by four, and the temperature by 4^1/4 too.
