In most homes use incandescent light bulbs. An incandescent light bulb has a coiled wire filament that, when the light is switched on, gets so hot that it glows.
When a 100 W incandescent light bulb is connected to a 240 V supply the current from the supply is 0.42 A.
Calculate the resistance of the filament of the bulb.
570
If the light bulb is switched on for 30 minutes, 175 kJ of energy are wasted as heat. Calculate the power output of the heat that the bulb produces.
97 W
Many people are changing their incandescent bulbs to compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs) because a CFL wastes less energy as heat than an incandescent bulb.
In the circuit shown, lamp A is the same 100 W incandescent bulb as in the circuit above, and lamp B is a 20 W CFL.
Calculate the current through the 240 V supply.
0.50 A
The electric heater that Jack used has two elements, as shown in the circuit diagram. Element 1 has a power rating 1000 W, element 2 has a power rating 2000 W.
If switch 1 is closed, calculate the current through element 1.
4.0 A
Calculate the total resistance of the circuit if both elements are switched on.
21
Is this a series circuit or a parallel circuit. One word answer
• Series
Three identical 12 V bulbs are connected to a 32 V supply as shown in the diagram below.
The ammeter measures a current of 1.5 A, calculate the total power used by the three bulbs.
48 W
Three identical 12 V bulbs are connected to a 32 V supply as shown in the diagram below.
Assuming the resistance of each bulb stays at 7.1 Ω; calculate the maximum rated power of one bulb.
20 W
The circuit below shows a brake light, rated 21 W, connected to a 12 V battery.
Calculate the resistance of the brake light bulb when it is glowing.
6.9 Ω
