measuring voltage across both globes. globes off when open.

10. (i) Consider the circuits below and write the letter of the circuit in the table below
to indicate whether it is a series or parallel circuit.

Series Circuit Parallel Circuit

Circuit Number
Effect on globe brightness on
adding extra globes
What would the effect be if a
globe blew?
Describe the current in each
circuit
Use the formula for Ohm’s Law to calculate the answers to the following questions: V=IR

11. A series circuit containing one globe was found to have a current of 0.22 A. If the
potential difference (voltage) across the globe was 3.0 V, what was the resistance of
the globe? (Show all working).

12. The circuit below contains two globes. Calculate the expected ammeter reading.
(Show all working).

13. An object of resistance 100Ω was placed in a circuit. If the potential difference
(voltage) across the object was 9V, what was the current? (Show all working)

14. Three identical globes were place in a series circuit with a 12V battery. The current
reading was 0.27 A:
(i) What was the total resistance of the three globes?

(ii) What was the resistance of each globe?

15. When a certain mystery battery was used to light up four globes in series, each of
resistance 12 Ω. The current was measured to be 0.125 A. What was the voltage of
the battery?
