1 In the circuit diagram, S1, S2 and S3 are switches.
L1, L2 and L3 are identical the same
resistance.
When will the three light bulbs light up? ( C )
`
A when S1 and S2 are closed
B when S1 and S3 are closed
C when S2 and S3 are closed
D when S1, S2 and S3 are closed
2 The diagram shows a working fab when it is switched on.
What should be the current flowing in each of the wire if the fan is working
properly? ( D )
earth live neutral
A 0A 10 A 0A
B 0A 10 A 10 A
C 10 A 10 A 0A
D 10 A 10 A 10 A
3 Which of the following has the highest resistance? ( B )
4 Fig. 4.1 shows a series circuit with two light bulbs P and Q.
The electromotive force (emf) of the batteries is 12 V. The potential difference (pd)
across P is 4 V and the resistance of Q is 16 Ω.
(a) Define potential difference.
Potential difference is the difference in the amount of
__________________________________________________________________
energy that charge carriers have between two points in a
________________________________________________________________ [1]
circuit.
(b) Calculate the potential difference across Q.
4 V [1]
pd = _____
(c) (i) Calculate the current through the circuit
V=IxR
12v = I x 32Ω
Current = ________ A [1]
(ii) Hence or otherwise calculate the resistance of P.
Resistance = _______ Ω [1]
(d) A fixed resistor of 4 Ω is connected in parallel to Q.
(i) Calculate the new total resistance in the circuit.
Resistance = _______ Ω [2]
(ii) Without doing any further calculation, explain if there is any change in the total
current flow in the circuit.
