a.

State the relationship between power, current and voltage.

[1]
b.

A lamp with a power of 3.6 W3.6\text{ W}3.6 W is connected to a 12 V12\text{ V}12 V supply. Calculate the current in the lamp.

[2]
c.

Three switches, S1S_1S1​, S2S_2S2​ and S3S_3S3​, are used to control a lamp in a large room. Each switch can be up or down, and each switch can turn the lamp on or off.

Two circuit diagrams illustrating the operation of three switches, S1, S2, and S3, controlling a lamp connected to a 230 V a.c. supply.

When all three switches are up, the lamp is on. When all three switches are down, the lamp is off.

Complete the table by finding the three missing entries.
