07 – Resistance (2) Student: __________________________________

1. A resistor has a steady resistance of 8Ω.

a. If the current in the resistor is 2 A, what is
the p.d. across it?
b. What p.d. js needed to produce a current
of 4 A?
c. If the p.d. falls to 6 V, what is the current?
2. The graph lines A and B on the right are for two
different conductors. Which conductor has the
higher resistance?
3. Using the graph right, calculate the resistance
of the tungsten filament when its temperature is
a. 1500°C b. 3000 °C.
4. In the right-hand graph above, does the diode
have its highest resistance in the forward
direction or the reverse? Explain your answer.
