Which image shows the correct placement of the measuring devices?

1

Use the diagram below to deduce the charges of A and B.

1

A resistor has a potential difference of 12V across it and a current flowing through it of 2A. What is the Power dissipated in the resistor?

1

Which of the following graphs of Current against Potential Difference represents an Ohmic Conductor?

1

A current of 2A flows through a conductor. How much charge flows through the conductor in 2 minutes?

1

Decide which arrangement of resistors gives the highest Total Resistance.

1

An electrical heater is rated P =1250W, V= 110V. Which fuse would be the most appropriate to use?

1

In an electrical circuit, the conventional direction for current is always from the positive terminal of a battery to the negative terminal, however, the electrons flow in the opposite direction.

1

The resistance of a lamp decreases with increasing voltage, as this causes the temperature of the filament to increase.

1

What is the total resistance of a 12 Ohm resistor and a 4 Ohm resistor when connected in parallel?

1

Electrons flow in a given direction in a complete electrical circuit since the emf of a battery provides an electrical field in the wires.

1

What is the emf of a battery if 12 Coulombs of charge gain 48 Joules of energy when they pass through the terminals of the battery.

1

In a series circuit consisting to two resistors, the voltage across each resistor is the same as the voltage across the battery.

1

Potential difference is another name for voltage, and is measured in volts.

1

When a polythene rod is rubbed with a cloth, it becomes negatively charged as protons are transferred from the rod to the cloth due to friction.

1

If a component is Ohmic, that means that the current flowing through the component is directly to the voltage across it. This means that the resistance of the component stays the same.

1

An LDR can be used to detect light conditions because the resistance of an LDR increases with increasing light intensity.
