The slope of the voltage-current (VI) characteristics for a tungsten lamp is positive because as the current increases, the temperature of the tungsten filament rises, leading to an increase in resistance. This phenomenon is due to the positive temperature coefficient of resistance of tungsten, where the resistance increases with temperature. Consequently, the relationship between voltage and current becomes non-linear, resulting in a positive slope in the VI characteristics. This behavior is typical for incandescent lamps, where the filament's temperature significantly affects its electrical properties.

The color of the wire does not indicate its polarity. In electrical systems, the polarity is typically designated as positive (+) and negative (-) rather than plus or minus. To determine which wire is positive or negative on a lamp connection, you would need to consult the manufacturer's instructions or use a multimeter to check the voltage.
LED's are DC voltage. Transformers are AC voltage. There is no positive or negative on AC voltage. You would need a diode to change the AC to DC, then there would be positive and negative voltages.
probably to measure a lamp depending on if its a desk lamp or a stand up lamp, if you use a stand up lamp, i would suggest using either feet or inches
Well here are the steps: 1.get a paper,and a lamp 2.put the paper down. 3.Then put the lamp facing the paper. 4.Then put your hand under the lamp's light. DONE!!
The word "lamp" is in the King James Version of the Bible 13 times. It is in 13 verses.
