An Electric Current Through a Tungsten Filament Maintains Its Temperature

Question 5

Multiple Choice

An electric current through a tungsten filament maintains its temperature at 2800 K. Assume the tungsten filament behaves as an ideal radiator at that temperature. If the radiating area of the filament is 2.0 × 10-6 m2, at what rate does it radiate energy? (σ = 5.670 × 10-8 W/m2 ∙ K4, Wien displacement law constant is 2.90 × 10-3 m ∙ K)


A) 5.5 W
B) 7.0 W
C) 8.5 W
D) 10 W
E) 11.5 W
