This question is about electric circuits.
State the name of the instrument used to measure electric current in a circuit.
State the SI unit of electrical charge.
A student connects a circuit to determine the resistance of a metal wire. The current in the wire is 0.25 A when the potential difference across the wire is 4.5 V.
Calculate the resistance of the wire.
The student has several other wires made of the same metal but with various lengths and thicknesses. He wants to select a wire that has a lower resistance than the wire in (b)(i).
State two ways of identifying a wire with a lower resistance by comparing its length and thickness with the wire in (b)(i).
