(a) Tungsten has a high melting point `(3380^@ C)` and becomes incandescend (i.e., emits light at a high temperature) at `2400 K`
(b) The resistivity of an alloy is generally higher than that of pure metals of which it is made of.
In series arrangement, it any one of the appliances fails or is switched off, all the other appliances stop working because the same current is passing through all the appliances.
(d) The resistance of a wire ( R) varies inversity as its cross-sectional area (A) as `R prop 1//A`.
( e) Copper and Aluminium wires posses low resistivity and as such are generally used for electricity transmission.
