The moving part of the switch is always connected to point Y around which it pivots. The other end
of the moving part, labelled X, can be connected to one of the points A, B or C.

The resistance of the motor is 2.0 Ω and the resistance of the resistor is 3.0 Ω.

Determine the current in the motor when the switch is connected to:

(a) point A

current = .............................................. [1]

(b) point B

current = .............................................. [2]

(c) point C.

current = .............................................. [2]
