  1. 20 September 2014 5.8 Current and p.d. in a circuit The circuit has two components in series. Each component has a different resistance. 1 What is the p.d. of V? 2 What do the values tell you about the resistance of the buzzer compared to the resistance of the resistor? • HINT: R = V/I. What do you know about the current in the resistor and the buzzer?

  2. Answer 1 1 V 2 The resistance of the resistor is much less than the resistance of the buzzer. (This follows as current is the same through both and R =V/I so lower V means lower R. Alternatively, argue that the larger resistance requires a greater p.d. to make the current flow through it.)

  3. Learning objectives • Show that current can be calculated using V=IR • Revise that electrical energy can be transferred in electrical appliances • Show that electrical items have a plate with information including the supply voltage and power rating and sometimes the current

  4. Can you do these? 3 Use V=IR to calculate the pd of V1 4 Use V=IR to calculate the pd of V2 5 Use V=IR to calculate V3 6 Use R=V/I to calculate R of the motor

  5. Answers 3 = 1.2 V 4 = 4.8 V 5 = 3 V 6 = 10 Ω
