Q1. A 40Ω is connected in series with a 6.0V battery. What is the power consumed by the resistor, assuming it is the
only component in the circuit?
Q2. A wire dissipates power P when a current I is passed through it. What will be a new power dissipated in the wire if
the current passing through it is now 4 times the original current?
Q3. The electric current in a resistor is 0.30 mA, while the potential difference across the resistor is V. What is the heat
produced by the resistor if the circuit is left running for 4.0 minutes?
1. 3.6mW
2. 0.22J
3. 0.22mW
4. 0.90J
Q4. The cost of electricity is 27 cents per kWh. What is the cost of using 1000-1200W iron at its maximum power for 45
minutes?
CURRENT ELECTRICITY

Q3. What happens to the compass needle when a current flows in wire AB (placed above the compass needle) as
shown?
Q4. What happens when the compass needle is now placed above wire AB and a current flows in the wire?
