a.

(i) State the relationship between power, current and voltage.

(ii) A ventilation fan motor with a power of 1.8 W1.8\text{ W}1.8 W is connected to a 12 V12\text{ V}12 V supply. Calculate the current in the fan.

b.

Three switches, K1K_1K1​, K2K_2K2​ and K3K_3K3​, are used to control a ventilation fan in a research laboratory. Each switch can be set to position LLL or position RRR, and changing any single switch toggles the fan on or off.

When all three switches are in position LLL, the fan is ON. When all three switches are in position RRR, the fan is OFF.

Complete the table by finding the three missing entries.
