A A supply voltage equal to the ratio of energy transferred per. ‘unit charge passing BB The maximum voitage a componentin a circuit may receive © A measure of the energy transferred by @ component per unit charge passing through it D A measure of the energy transferred by «component per Unit time its connected to a power supp a) (Total for Question 5 = 1 mark) 6 (a) Twolamps A and B are connected in series with a battery. loro 8 lamp A Lamp B glows more brightly than lamp A. Complete each of the sentences by choosing one of the phrases in the box. Tess than equal to ‘greater than ‘The current in lamp As... the ‘current in lamp B ‘The pd across lamp A is the pd across lamp B ‘The resistance of lamp A is the resistance of lamp B, (3) (©) The same bulbs are now connected in parallel with the batery rl lame 8 tampa ‘State which bulb willbe brighter and explain your answer. [3] (Total for Question 6 = 6 marks) 7 A student is asked to explain wich of two filament lamps will be brighter when they are connected in parallel across a power supply. He is told that the resistance of lamp A is greater than the resistance of lamp B.ata ee) ‘The student wrote the folowing explanation that contains some mistakes “The curentisthe same in both lamps. Because lamp A has 0 higher restance, iis hander forthe electrons to move through {his lamp so they wil lose mare energy. Lamp A will therefore be bigher tan lamp B, ‘Write a correct explanation, (5) (Total for Question 7 = 5 marks) @ Accireut is set up as shown in the diagram. The battery has negligible internal resistance, (2) Calculate the potential difference across the 40.0 resistor 2 (0) A thermistoris connected in parallel with the 40 0 season a shovn | a ‘The thermistor is intially at a temperature of 100°C and its resistance is 20 0. As the thermistor cools down, its resistance inereases, Explain what happens to the current through the battery as, the ternperature of the thermistor decreases. 8) (Total for Question 8 = 5 marks) 9 (a) Akettle is rated at 1 kW, 220. Calculate the working resistance of the kettle. 2) (©) When connected to 2 220 V supplied, it takes 3 minutes for the water in the ketile to reach boiling point Calculate how much energy has been supplied, 2 (6) Different countries supply mains electricity at different voltages. Many hotels now offer a choice of voltage supplies as shown in the photograph, CU ae rT} (By mistake the kettie is connected to the 110V ‘supply. Assuming that the working resistance of the kettle does not change, calculate the time it ‘would take for the same amount of water to reach boiling point. BI (i) Explain what might happen if a kettle designed to ‘operate at 110V is connected to a 220 supply. [2] (Total for Question 9 = 9 marks) 10 Mobile phones have a rechargeable battery which is recharged by means of a mains adaptor. One such adaptor has an input power of 4.8 W at a voltage of 230. (a) Calculate the input current to the adaptor when itis inuse. @) (b) ‘The adaptor’s output is labelled as SV 0.1 A OSV. (i) Show that the unit VA is equivalent to the watt. [1] (i) Calculate the efficiency of the adaptor p (ii) Suggest a reason why the efficiency is less than 100%. a) (Total for Question 10 = 6 marks) 11. Electrically heated gloves are used by skiers and climbers to provide extra ‘warmth for their hands, Each glove has a heating element of resistance 3.6 1. Two cells each of emf 15V and internal resistance 0.2.0 are used to operate each heating element.
