    1. A student sets up an electrical circuit.

    She draws part of the circuit diagram, as shown in


    Fig.8.1.

    Fig.8.1.
    (a) On Fig.8.1, draw the circuit symbols for three devices so that the student can:
    (i) measure the total current in the circuit
    [1]
    (ii) vary the current in the lamp B only
    [1]
    (iii) measure the potential difference (p.d.) across lamp B.
    [2]
    [4 marks]
    (b) The current in lamp A is 0.20 A. The potential difference (p.d.) across lamp A is 6.0 V.
    Calculate the resistance of lamp A.

    resistance = .............................................Ω

    2. Fig. 9.1 shows a simple circuit.

    Fig. 9.1
    (a) The current in the wires of the circuit is a flow of particles.
    (i) Indicate the name of these particles. Tick one box.
    □ electrons
    □ atoms
    □ protons
    [1]
    (ii) Calculate the combined resistance of the two resistors.

    resistance = ...................................................... Ω
    [1]
    (iii) Calculate the potential difference (p.d.) reading that would be shown on the
    voltmeter.

    potential difference (p.d.) = ...................................................... V

    3. Two identical resistors, 𝑅1 and 𝑅2 , are connected to a 24 V battery, as shown in
    Fig. 7.1.

    Fig. 7.1.
    The value of each resistor is 50 Ω.
    (a) Calculate the combined resistance of 𝑅1 and 𝑅2 when they are connected as
    shown in Fig. 7.1.

    combined resistance = ...................................................... Ω [1]


    (b) Show that the current in the circuit is approximately 0.25 A.

    [3]
    (c) Determine the potential difference (p.d.) across 𝑅1 .

    p.d. = ....................................................... V [1]


    (d) Calculate the power transferred in 𝑅1 .

    power = ..................................................... W [3]


    (e) A student connects 𝑅1 , 𝑅2 and the battery to make a different circuit. The
    resistors 𝑅1 and 2 are connected so their combined resistance is as small as
    possible.
    Draw a circuit diagram to show how 𝑅1 and 𝑅2 are connected to the battery.
