Question 12

An electrical cell is labeled with 2.0 V.

a.

State what the 2.0 V indicates about the cell.

[1]
b.

Four cells identical to this cell are connected in series to make an 8.0 V battery. This battery is connected in series with a 160 Ω resistor. Calculate the current in this circuit.

[2]
c.

A second 160 Ω resistor is now connected in parallel with the first 160 Ω resistor. Calculate the total combined resistance of the two parallel resistors.

[2]
d.

State: 1. the potential difference across the second 160 Ω resistor, 2. the current in the second 160 Ω resistor.
