WORKSHEET : ELECTRICITY

1. Define the unit of electric current.

2. How do we connect voltmeter and ammeter in an electric circuit? What is likely to happen if the
positions of these instruments are interchanged?

3. What is meant by saying that the potential difference between 2 points is 1 V?

4. How much energy is given to each coulomb of charge passing through a 6 V battery?

5. Will current flow more easily through a thick wire or a thin wire of the same material, when it is
connected to the same source? Why?

6. Let the electrical resistance of an electrical component remain constant while the potential
difference across the two ends decreases to half its former value. What change will occur in the current
through it?

7. Why are coils of electric toasters and irons made of an alloy rather than of a pure metal?

8. A current of 0.5 A is drawn by a filament of an electric bulb for 10 minutes. Find the amount of
electric charge that flows through the circuit.

heater coil is 100 Ω?

of 4 A from the source. What current will the heater draw if the potential difference is increased to 120
V?

battery. Calculate (a) the total resistance of a circuit, (b) the current through the circuit, and (c) the
1
potential difference across the electric lamp and conductor.
