 Section A
1. Differentiate between excitation and ionization.

2. By what means can Electrons be disturbed?

3. Explicate the electrostatic force and state its laws.

4. Find the current drawn by a 60-W incandescent lamp rated for 120-V operation. Also find
the current drawn by a 150-W, 120-V lamp and a 300-W, 120-V lamp. As the wattage
