Describe in detail how the current varies with time.

Refer to data from the graph in your answer.

 

   

any three of the following: 

MP1. current increases during first

0.04s/ to maximum of 0.4A;

MP2. current increase is linear

/proportionate to time;

MP3. (then) current drops for next 0.44s

/ by 0.48s;

MP4. current decrease is nonlinear; 

 

MP5. (final)current constant value is 0.2

A/ from 0.48s onwards; 

 

 

allow ‘at first’ for

first 0.04s

 

 

allow 0.5s

Suggest why a filament lamp is most likely to fail when it is first switched on.

 

   

filament heats up very rapidly (at the

start);

causing it to melt/ break; 

 

allow wire for

filament
