answer • What is the current flowing in a circuit if 30C are passed in 1 minute? Q = It 30 = I x 60 I = 30/60 0.5A
answer 2. What voltage would be measured over a 100 Ω resistor when 10mA flows through it? V = IR V = 0.01 x 100 1V
answer 3. How many joules of energy are transferred by a 60W bulb every second? P = E/t 60 = E/1 E =60/1 60J
answer 4. Calculate the size of the current flowing in a 3kW mains operated appliance. 13A
answer 5. A television draws 0.1 A and has a resistance of 5000Ω. Calculate the power consumption P = IV P = 0.1 x 5000 50W
answer 6. How many 1.5V bulbs operating at their correct voltage could be connected in series with a 6V cell? Vs = V1+ V2… 6 = 1.5 +1.5 + 1.5 +1.5 6 = 4(1.5) Four bulbs
answer 7. What is the total resistance of a set of Christmas lights comprising of 30 individual 10Ω lamps in series? Rt = R1+R2+… Rt= 30(10) 3600 Ω or 3.6kΩ
answer 8. An electrical supply for a caravan delivers a total current of 2A to the fridge and lighting circuits. If the lights use 0.25A, what is the operating current of the fridge? It = Ilights+Ifridge 2= 0.25 + Ifridge I fridge = 2 - 0.25 1.75A
answer 9.What is the total resistance of three 90Ω resistors connected in parallel? 1/Rt = 1/R1+1/R2+1/R3 1/Rt = 1/90+1/90+1/90 1/Rt = 3/90 Rt = 90/3 30 Ω
