    The resistance of an incandescent lamp is:

    A)  smaller when switched on

    B)  greater when switched off

    C)  the same whether it is switch off or switch on

    D)  greater when switched on

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    \[R\propto \frac{1}{t}\] t = average time interval between two successive collision of electrons. When switched on, temperature of filament increases, there by K.E. of \[\overline{c}\]increases which increases the velocity of electron Hence, time interval (t) between two collision decreases, hence R increases.
