1. Fig. 9.1 shows the circuit that operates the two headlights and the two
sidelights of a car.

Two of the lamps have resistances of 4.0 Ω when lit. The other two lamps have
resistances of 12 Ω when lit. Switch A can be connected to positions 1, 2 or 3.

(a) State what happens when switch A is connected to

(i) position 1.
.................................................................................................................

(ii) position 2.
.................................................................................................................

(iii) position 3.

4. Fig. 8.1 shows another circuit.

When the circuit is switched on, the ammeter reads 0.50 A. (i) Calculate the value of
the unknown resistor.

resistance = ……………………..
5. Fig. 8.1 shows a low-voltage lighting circuit.

(a) On Fig. 8.1, indicate with a dot and the letter S, a point in the circuit where a
switch could be placed that would turn off lamps Y and Z at the same time but
would leave lamp X still lit.

(b) Calculate the current in lamp Y.

(c) The current in lamp Z is 3.0 A. Calculate the resistance of this lamp

(d) The lamp Y is removed. Why do lamps X and Z still work normally?
