    This document contains the responses to three physics assessment questions by Raynul Huda Chowdhury. In question 1, Raynul calculates the combined resistances of multiple resistors in series and parallel, and uses this to find the current in a battery and energy transferred. Question 2 involves calculating current drawn by lamps in parallel and the maximum number that can connect without blowing a fuse. Question 3 identifies a variable resistor, calculates its resistance to provide the correct voltage to a heater, and explains why the ammeter reading decreases over time.

    Voltage, Current and Resistance    7.41 minutes


    Q1. Figure1 shows a 12V battery connected in a circuit containing resistors A, B, C and Dall the resistors are identical and have a resistance of 6.0Ω each.

    Figure 1
     a. Calculate the combined resistance of
    i) resistors A and B  ii) resistors A, Band C iii) resistors A ,B, C and D 
    b. Calculate
      i)the current in the battery [1]
      ii)the energy transferred from the battery to the circuit in 50s.   [1]                                       
    Q2.Figure 2 shows 3 lamps and a fuse connected to a power supply .

    Figure 2
    The emf of the supply is 220V. Each lamp is labeled 220V, 40W. The rating of the fuse is 2.0A.
    a. Calculate:
    i)the current is each lamp                [2]
    ii)the current in the fuse,                  [1]
    iii)the total number of lamps, all in parallel, that could be connected without
    blowing the fuse.                                [2]                                                      
    b. After a very long period of use, the wire filament of one of the lamps
    becomes thinner.
     i)What is the effect of this change on the resistance of the filament?  [1               
    ii)State and explain the effect of this change on the power of the lamp.[2]
                                                                                                                                                    3. 
     Q3.The circuit in Figure 3 includes an immersion heater and a 6.0 V battery..

    Figure 3
    a. State the name and purpose of component X.                [1]
    b. The heater is designed to work from a 3.6V supply. It has power rating of
     4.5W at this voltage.
    By considering the current in the heater, calculate the resistance of
    component X when there is the correct potential difference across the
    heater.  [5]      
    c. After some time the heater is switched on ,and  the ammeter reading is
    seen to have decreased. Explain why  this happened .        [2]

    A1)a)i) R = 6 + 6 = 12 ohms

    ii) 1/R = 1/12 + 1/6


    R = 4 ohms
    iii) RT = 4 + 6 = 10 ohms

    b)i) I = V/R = 12/10 = 1.2 A

    ii) E = VIt = 12 x 1.2 x 50 = 720 J

    A2)a)i) I = P/V = 40/220 = 0.19 A

    ii) Current in Fuse = 3( 0.19 ) = 0.57 A

    iii) let number of lamps be “y”


    0.19y < 2.0
    y < 10.5
    y = 10 lamps

    Ans. The total number of lamps that can be connected is 10 lamps.

    b)i) As the wire of the filament lamp gets thinner, which means the cross sectional are
    decreases, the resistance of the lamp increases.

    ii) An increase in resistance will decrease the current, which is is directly proportional to
    power. If current decreases then the power of the lamp will also decrease.

    A3)a) Component X is a variable resistor. It’s purpose is that it gives the ability to adjust
    resistance in a circuit.

    b) current in heater = 4.5/3.6 = 1.25 A

    I = 1.25, V = 6 – 3.6 = 2.4 V


    Resistance in variable resistor = 2.4/1.25 = 1.92 ohms

    c) After some time the resistance of the variable resistor increases, which increases the
    total resistance of the circuit which means that the current in the circuit will decrease, and so
    will the ammeter reading.
