This graph is for a filament lamp. What is the reason for the shape of the line shown on the graph?
Filament lamps are variable resistors. So we can use a sliding scale to change their resistance, which will change the current going through them.
Filament lamps cool down when current runs through them, their resistance increases causing the current to decrease over time.
Filament lamps heat up as current runs through them, this increases resistance causing the current to decrease over time.
