Electrical quantities — practice question

A $1.0\,\text{m}$ length of resistance wire has a resistance of $7.6\,\Omega$. A piece of this wire is fixed to a metre rule.
(a)[2]

On Fig. 7.2, sketch a graph to show how $R$ changes with $l$ for values of $l$ from $l = 0$ to $l = 1.0\,\text{m}$. Put suitable values on the graph axes.

(b(i))[2]

State the meaning of electromotive force (e.m.f.).

(b(ii)(1))[2]

Calculate the current through the resistance wire.

(b(ii)(2))[1]

Calculate the potential difference (p.d.) from terminal P to terminal Q.

(b(ii)(3))[2]

Calculate the charge that flows through the resistance wire in $5.5\,\text{minutes}$.
