In each of the following circuits the battery has negligible internal resistance and the bulbs are identical.

For the circuit shown in figure 1 calculate the current flowing through each bulb, the power dissipated in each bulb. (2 marks)

(b) In the circuit shown in figure 2 calculate the current flowing through each bulb. (3 marks)

Explain how the brightness of the bulbs in figure 1 compares with the brightness of the bulbs in figure 2. (2 marks)

(a) Some electrical components may be described as non-ohmic. (i) Name an example, other than a diode, of a non-ohmic electrical component. (ii) State how the current-voltage characteristic of your chosen component shows that it is non-ohmic. (2 marks)

(a) Some electrical components may be described as non-ohmic. (i) Name an example, other than a diode, of a non-ohmic electrical component.

A semiconducting diode has special electrical properties that make it useful as an electrical component. (i) Sketch on the grid the current-voltage characteristic of a diode. State, with reference to the current-voltage characteristic you have drawn, how the resistance of the diode varies with the potential difference across its terminals for reverse bias and for forward bias (4 marks)

(a) The current flowing through a torch bulb can be controlled by a variable resistor using either of the two circuit arrangements shown above. Figure 1 is called a potential divider arrangement and figure 2 may be called a rheostat arrangement. For each of these two methods explain one advantage and one disadvantage.

(b). In figure 1, the variable resistor has a total resistance of 16 W (b) In figure 1, the variable resistor has a total resistance of 16 W. When the slider of the variable resistor is set at X, exactly mid-way along AB, the bulb works according to its specification of 2.0 V, 500 mW. Calculate (i) the current through section XB of the variable resistance, (ii) the current through section AX of the variable resistance.
