\(I= 0.57\ \text{Amps}\)

Show Worked Solution

\(E=IR\ \ \Rightarrow\ \ I=\dfrac{E}{R}\)

\(R_{\text{total}} = 10\ \Omega + \dfrac{1}{\dfrac{1}{20\ \Omega} + \dfrac{1}{25\ \Omega}} = 21.11\ \Omega \)

\(I=\dfrac{E}{R} = \dfrac{12\ \text{V}}{21.11\ \Omega} = 0.57\ \text{Amps}\)

An arrangement of resistors is shown.

What is the total resistance of this arrangement of resistors?

`33 Omega`
`50 Omega`
`150 Omega`
`300 Omega`

`C`

Show Worked Solution

`R_(text{total})`	`=R_(text{parallel}) + 100 Omega`
`1/(R_(text{parallel}))`	`= 1/R_1 + 1/R_2= 1/50`
`R_(text{parallel})`	`= 50 Omega`

`:. R_(text{total})= 50 + 100= 150 Omega`

`268\ text{Ohms}`

Show Worked Solution

`V= V_(\text{total})-V_(\text{led})= 9-2.3= 6.7\ text{V}`

`R= V/I= 6.7\(25 xx 10^(-3))= 268\ text{Ohms}`

The diagram shows an electrical circuit that is used to control the speed of a DC electric traction motor.

Explain, with reference to the diagram, how the speed of the motor can be controlled. (3 marks)

The motor’s speed and torque can be increased or decreased by varying the input current.
Since current and resistance are inversely proportional, the current can be increased by decreasing resistance and vice versa.
The above diagram shows 4 resistors that can be used or avoided by flicking a switch for each.
The more resistors that are switched out of the circuit, the more current flows to the motor and the speed of the motor increases.
