Electric circuits — practice question

Fig. 9.1 presents current-potential difference graphs for a resistor and a lamp.
(a(i))[1]

The potential difference (p.d.) applied to the resistor is increased. Tick the box that shows the effect on the resistance of the resistor. Options: resistance increases; resistance is constant; resistance decreases.

(a(ii))[1]

The potential difference (p.d.) applied to the lamp is increased. Tick the box that shows the effect on the resistance of the lamp. Options: resistance increases; resistance is constant; resistance decreases.

(b)[2]

Calculate the resistance of the lamp.

(c)[2]

Calculate the current from the supply.

(d)[2]

Calculate the total p.d. across the lamp and the resistor.
