Question
If a constant potential difference is applied across a bulb, the current slightly decreases as time passes and then becomes constant. Explain.
✓
Answer
As current passes through wire of bulb it heats up and thus the resistance of wire (element) increase as its metal so current decreases as resistance increases after element is heated well the resistance stops increasing thus current stops decreases.
