2 6V 1A What does 6V mean? What does 1A mean? Lamp A

3

4 The flow over the Huka Falls fluctuates between 32 and 270 cubic metres per second. On average the daily flow over the falls is 160 cubic metres per second

5 If there are 7 drops of water in 1cm 3, how long would it take for 6,000,000,000,000,000,000 (6 million million million drops) drops of water to flow over the Huka Falls? (average flow rate = 160cubic metres per second)

6 6,000 cubic metres/second Time for 6 million million million drops?

7 6V 1A Two lamps Identical to lamp A are placed in series What is the brightness of lamp B compared with lamp A? Lamp BLamp C a)B is the same brightness as A b)B is half as bright as A c)B is quarter as bright as A

8 How many models do we need for electricity?

9 LCR Circuit VLVL VRVR VCVC VSVS

10 VLVL VCVC VRVR V R is always in phase with current I V L leads current by 90˚

11 0.01s 0.5A Current vs time for previous LCR Circuit Current (A) Time (s) If L= 20mH, calculate the Voltage at t=0s
