 P1 Resistance      

Syllabus Summary Questions Answers

       

    1. A current of 0.2 A flows through a 500 Ω resistor. 

        Calculate the voltage across it.

    2. Two resistors are connected in series, R1 = 100 Ω and R2 = 1000 Ω

        Calculate the total resistance R.   

    3. Fill in the gaps in the following sentences:

  • For a given voltage, increasing the resistance in a series circuit              the current.
    .

  • For a given voltage,              the resistance in a series circuit increases the current.

       Higher tier only:

  • For a given voltage, as the resistance of the parallel circuit is smaller, the current            .
