Electric circuits — practice question

Fig. 9.1 is a graph showing current plotted against potential difference (p.d.) for a filament lamp.
(a)[2]

State how the resistance of the lamp filament changes when the p.d. goes (i) from 0 V to 1.0 V, and (ii) from 1.0 V to 8.0 V.

(b)[5]

Calculate, for normal brightness, (i) the resistance of the lamp, (ii) the power of the lamp.

(c)[2]

Determine (i) the electromotive force (e.m.f.) of the power supply, (ii) the current from the power supply.
