Test: Electrical Quantities - Question 1

If a charge flows through a resistor, which of the following happens to the resistor?

Detailed Solution for Test: Electrical Quantities - Question 1
A resistor makes it harder for the electrons to pass and some of their energy is transferred into heat by the resistor
Test: Electrical Quantities - Question 2

In a filament lamp, in what form is most of the energy lost?

Detailed Solution for Test: Electrical Quantities - Question 2
The filament is a resistance wire that is designed to become so hot that it emits energy in the visible light part of the spectrum

Test: Electrical Quantities - Question 3

What is power?

Detailed Solution for Test: Electrical Quantities - Question 3
In everyday language, power can have several meanings but in physics, it always means the same thing whether it is in an electrical or a mechanical context
Test: Electrical Quantities - Question 4
What is the formula for power?
Detailed Solution for Test: Electrical Quantities - Question 4
If the units you use for energy and time are joules and seconds, the power will be in watts
Test: Electrical Quantities - Question 5
Calculate the power of an appliance that uses 1000 joules of energy in 5 seconds.
Detailed Solution for Test: Electrical Quantities - Question 5
Power is the rate at which energy is transferred therefore you need to divide the energy by the time during which it was being transferred. 1000 divided by 5 gives you the answer of 200. Since the energy transferred is in joules and the time in seconds, the power has been calculated in watts
Test: Electrical Quantities - Question 6
Power, potential difference and current are correctly related by which equation?
Detailed Solution for Test: Electrical Quantities - Question 6
This is a very handy equation - make sure you learn it well and can rearrange it to work out the current or potential difference
Test: Electrical Quantities - Question 7
What is the voltage of an appliance if it uses 200 J per second when supplied with a current of 5 A?
Detailed Solution for Test: Electrical Quantities - Question 7
Always ensure you give units in your answer. Marks can be lost for missing them out!
Test: Electrical Quantities - Question 8
Which equation correctly shows the relationship between energy transferred, voltage and charge?
Detailed Solution for Test: Electrical Quantities - Question 8
You can substitute current and power in place of voltage if it is not given in a question. You need to use this formula and combine it with the one given in question 6
Test: Electrical Quantities - Question 9
What is the energy transferred if the voltage is 5 V and the charge is 10 C?
Detailed Solution for Test: Electrical Quantities - Question 9
Whilst you would get a mark for answering 50 you would lose a mark for not giving units with your answer. If you are struggling to calculate an answer to a numerical question, always put a number with the correct units! At least you will get a mark for using the correct units
Test: Electrical Quantities - Question 10
What size of fuse would be required for a 230 V, 500 W heater?
Detailed Solution for Test: Electrical Quantities - Question 10
To find out the most appropriate fuse to use, calculate the current flowing through the appliance. The fuse should have a rating slightly higher than the current
