  2. Twenty Questions

  3. 1. Give 1 advantage of using a circuit breaker. • Reset instead of replaced. • Easier to see if it’s off.

  4. 2. What type of appliance uses the greatest power? • One which produces heat.

  5. 3. Upon what does the size of an appliances flex depend? • It’s power rating.

  6. 4. In a house in what configuration are the wiring circuits? Why? • Parallel. • So each appliance can be switched on/off separately. • Each appliance will have 230V across it.

  7. 5. A heater has a current of 6A flowing through it for 4 minutes, what charge will pass through it. • Q = It = 6 x (4 x 60) = 1440 C

  8. 6. Draw the electrical field surrounding a negative point charge.

  9. 7. State Ohm’s Law • R = V ÷ I

  10. 8. Draw the symbol for a fuse. • Rectangle with the wire passing through it.

  11. 9. Give an example each of a d.c. and an a.c. power source. • d.c – battery • a.c - mains.

  12. 10. If a heater uses 1500 J of energy each second, What current will it draw if it is working from the mains voltage? • V = 230V • P = 1500W as P = E / t • I = P ÷ V = 1500 ÷ 230 = 6.5 A

  13. 11. Calculate the current in a circuit if 135 charges take 3minutes to travel through the circuit. • Q = I t t = 3x60 =180s I = Q/t • I = 135/180 • I = 0.75A

  14. 12. What are the values of the voltage and frequency of the mains supply? • 230V • 50Hz

  15. 13. What is current? • The flow of electric charges around a circuit.

  16. 13. What is current? • The flow of electric charges around a circuit.

  17. 14. What are the units for charge? • Coulombs

  18. 15. What type of energy is gained when work is done moving a charge between two plates? • Kinetic

  19. 16. What danger is present when using a multiway adapter? • If too many appliances are used or ones which require much current are used it may overheat and catch fire.

  20. 17. Calculate the number of electrons that pass through a wire carrying a current of 2 A for 5 s. Qelectron = 1.6x10-19 C • Q = It • = 2 x 5 • = 10C No. of electrons =10 ÷ 1.6x10-19 = 6.25 x 1019

  21. 18. What type of current is shown by the waveform? • a.c / alternating current

  22. 19. Why must the fuse value be greater than the current used by the appliance? • It melts when it’s rating/value has been reached

  23. 20. What fuse would be used in a 2kW kettle? • I=P/V • I=2000/230 • I=8.7A • 13A fuse.
