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

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.
