New cards

When the voltage supplied to an incandescent bulb is less than it’s rated voltage:

The electric current flowing through the filament is reduced

2
New cards

A decrease in electrical current flowing through the filament results in:

The filament producing less heat and light, causing the bulb to burn dimmer

3
New cards

Since the filament is not heated to its maximum temperature:

It experiences less wear and tear

4
New cards

What will happen if the filament experiences less wear and tear?

It leads to a longer lifespan for the bulb
