Question 2

A student investigates the electrical properties of a filament lamp and records his measurements in a table:

Potential difference (V)Current (A)
0.00.0
3.01.8
6.03.0
9.03.8
a.

Calculate the power dissipated by the filament lamp when the potential difference is 6.0 V.

Use the equation: power=potential difference×current\text{power} = \text{potential difference} \times \text{current}power=potential difference×current

[2]
b.

Calculate the energy transferred if the filament lamp is operated at this potential difference (6.0 V) for 4 minutes.

Use the equation: energy transferred=power×time\text{energy transferred} = \text{power} \times \text{time}energy transferred=power×time
