Question 1
F

Two identical lamps are connected in series with a 6.0 V battery.

a.

The potential difference across one of the lamps is 3.0 V. Give the potential difference across the other lamp.

[1]
b.

The current in the battery is 0.25 A. Write down the current in each lamp.

[1]
c.

Calculate the resistance of one of the lamps. Use the equation: potential difference=current×resistance\text{potential difference} = \text{current} \times \text{resistance}potential difference=current×resistance

[2]
d.

Give one change the student could make to increase the current in this circuit.
