Electrical quantities — practice question

Fig. 7.1 illustrates a circuit that includes a 6.0 V battery of cells and three identical resistors. The labels on Fig. 7.1 are: 6.0 V battery, ammeter A, switches S1 and S2, resistors R1, R2 and R3.
(a)[2]

Calculate R1's resistance.

(b(i))[3]

Determine the ammeter reading. Show your working.

(b(ii))[2]

Explain in terms of work done and potential difference why the heating effect in R3 is larger than in R1.
