Explanation
====Explanation====
: * At small [[Potential Difference|potential differences]] there is a small [[Electrical Current|current]] so the [[heating]] effect of the [[Electrical Current|current]] is small and the [[filament]] remains at a low [[temperature]].
: At large [[Potential Difference|potential differences]] there is a large [[Electrical Current|electrical current]] so the [[heating]] effect of the [[Electrical Current|current]] is large which causes the [[filament]] to be a high [[temperature]].
:: This is caused by [[electron]]s in the [[wire]] [[collide|colliding]] with [[ion]]s in the [[metal]] [[lattice]] causing them to [[vibrate]].
