Answer key

Show suggested answers
  1. Electric current is the rate of flow of electric charge, I = Q/t.
  2. Potential difference is work done per unit charge, V = W/Q.
  3. Ohm's law: V = IR at constant temperature.
  4. I = V/R = 10/5 = 2 A.
  5. R = V/I = 12/3 = 4 ohm.
  6. Resistance increases when length increases, if material and area stay the same.
  7. In series, current is same and resistances add. In parallel, voltage is same and equivalent resistance decreases.
  8. Equivalent resistance = 2 + 4 = 6 ohm.
  9. Electric power: P = VI = I^2R = V^2/R.
  10. Energy = 100 W x 10 h = 1000 Wh = 1 kWh.

How to use this worksheet
