Electric circuits — practice question

(a)[1]

State, in terms of structure, why metals are good electrical conductors.

(b(i))[2]

Determine W$_2$'s resistance.

(b(ii))[2]

Find the effective resistance of W$_1$ and W$_2$ when they are joined in parallel.

(c(i))[1]

State the battery e.m.f.

(c(ii))[1]

Put a tick (✓) in one box to show the relationship between these three currents. Options shown: $I_1 > I_2 > I_B$ $I_1 > I_B > I_2$ $I_2 > I_1 > I_B$ $I_2 > I_B > I_1$ $I_B > I_1 > I_2$ $I_B > I_2 > I_1$ $I_1 = I_2 = I_B$
