A battery supplies a current of to a circuit. Calculate how long it will take for of charge to flow round the circuit.

Important Questions on Electrical Quantities
A battery supplies a current of to a circuit. If this battery has a capacity of , calculate how long can it supply this current.

During a journey in a car, the potential difference of builds up, due to the static charge on the car caused by friction. A charge of is stored on the car. When the driver gets out and touches the car, this charge passes through the driver in . By calculating the current, explain why this potential difference is not lethal(will cause death), but the mains potential difference is.

We say that an ohm is a volt per ampere . So, if a resistor has a resistance of , it takes to make a current of to flow through it. Calculate the voltage needed to make a current of to flow through the same resistor.

We say that an ohm is a volt per ampere . So, if a resistor has a resistance of , it takes to make a current of flow through it. Calculate the voltage needed to make a current of to flow through a resistor.

The current in a circuit changes as the resistance in the circuit changes. Complete the table by indicating whether the change indicated will cause the current to increase or decrease.
Change | Current- increase or decrease? |
More resistance in the circuit? | |
Less resistance in the circuit? | |
Increase the voltage | |
Use thinner wires | |
Use longer wires |

Use the equation to calculate the resistance of a lamp if a potential difference of applied across it causes a current of to flow through it.

How does doubling the length of a wire change its resistance?

How does doubling the diameter of a wire affect its resistance?
