Exam Question

(a) State the relationship between impedence, voltage and current (6)

(b) The filament of a 230V lamp takes a current of 0.261A when working at its normal temperature of 2000° C. The temperature coefficient of the tungsten filament material can be taken as 0.005° C^-1 at 0º C. Find the approximate current which flows at the instant of switching on the supply to the cold lamp, which can be considered to be at a room temperature of 20° C (10)

Reference Answer

### (a) Relationship Between Impedance, Voltage, and Current
**1. Definition of Impedance (Z):**
Impedance is the total opposition that a circuit presents to the flow of alternating current (AC) at a particular frequency. It is a complex quantity that includes both resistance and reactance. It is measured in Ohms (Ω).
* **Resistance (R):** The opposition to current flow that dissipates energy in the form of heat. It is independent of frequency.
