Current And Electricity Assignment No1
1. Calculate the amount of current through an electric toaster if it takes 900C of
charge to toast two slices of bread in 1.5min. (10A)
2. A 12V car battery supplies 1x103C of charge to the starting motor. How much
energy is used to start the car? (1.2x104J)
3. An electric toaster uses a current of 10A for 125S to make toast, while giving off
1.5x105J of heat energy. What is the potential difference across the toast?
(1.2x102)
4. While a battery supplies current the number of electrons leaving the negative
terminal will be equal to the number of electron coming to the positive terminal,
then why the emf of the cell decreases?
5. A car requires a 12V battery to start the motor. With the help of eight button cells
of emf 1.5V each can we start the motor. If not, why?
6. The given network is made of equal resistors ‘R’, A B
if the equivalent resistance between A and B is 8Ω, find ‘R’.

7. Two cells of emfs 4.5V and 6.0Vand internal resistance 6Ω and 3Ω respectively
have their negative terminals joined by a wire of 18Ω and positive terminals by a
wire of 12Ω resistance. A third resistance wire of 24Ω connects middle point of
these wires. Draw the circuit diagram. Using Kirchhoff’s laws, find the potential
difference at the end of this third wire.
8. Find V2, V4, V5, I1 and I4.

72V 4A
V4, I4 2A
(20V, 16V, 16V, 6A, 1A)

V5, I5

9. 12A, 8Ω Find I2 and I3.

I2 , 3Ω,
120V R2 I3
(4A, 8A)

10. Draw a schematic diagram of a circuit consisting of a power source and one
resistance connect in series with a combination consisting of two resistors
connected in parallel with each other. Include a fuse, a switch, a voltmeter and an
ammeter. The fuse should protect the whole circuit, the switch should interrupt
the whole circuit, the voltmeter should measure the potential difference across the
series resistor and the ammeter should measure the current through one of the
parallel resistors.
