An incandescent bulb has a thin filament of tungsten that is heated to high temperature by passing an electric current. The hot filament emits black-body radiation. The filament is observed to break up at random locations after a sufficiently long time of operation due to non-uniform evaporation of tungsten from the filament. If the bulb is powered at constant voltage, which of the following statement(s) is(are) true?
$(A)$ The temperature distribution over the filament is uniform
$(B)$ The resistance over small sections of the filament decreases with time
$(C)$ The filament emits more light at higher band of frequencies before it breaks up
$(D)$ The filament consumes less electrical power towards the end of the life of the bulb

An electric bulb is marked $100\ W, 230\ V$. If the supply voltage drops to $115\ V$,how much heat (in $J$) is produced by the bulb in $20\ min$?
