  • What is mean by electromotive force (e.m.f.)?
    Electromotive force (e.m.f.) is the electrical work done by a source in moving a unit charge around a complete circuit.

  • what is the unit of e.m.f. measured?
    e.m.f. is measured in volts (V).

  • What does potential difference (p.d.) mean?
    Potential difference (p.d.) is the work done by a unit charge passing through a component.
  •  15
  • What is equipment use to measure potential difference?
    Voltmeter
  •  15
  • What is the difference between analogue and digital voltmeters?
    Analogue voltmeters show measurements using a needle on a scale, while digital voltmeters display the measurement numerically.

  • What is the equation used to calculate electromotive force (e.m.f.)?
    The equation for e.m.f. is E= Q / W ​ , where E is the e.m.f., W is the work done, and Q is the charge.

  • If the work done is 20 Joules and the charge is 5 Coulombs, what is the e.m.f.?
    4V
  •  15
  • What is the equation to calculate potential difference (p.d.)?
    the equation for potential difference (p.d.) is V= E/Q ​ , where V the potential difference, E is the energy transferred , and Q is the charge.

  • If the voltage is 12V and the current is 3A, what is the resistance?
  •  15
  • what is the unit for resistance?
    Ohm (Ω)

  • What instruments would you use to measure the resistance in a circuit?
    A voltmeter and an ammeter.
  •  15
  • What calculations are needed to find the resistance?
    Measure the voltage (V) across the component and the current (I) through it, then use the equation R= I / V ​ .

  • How does the resistance of a metallic wire change when its length is increased?
    The resistance increases as the length of the wire increases.
  •  15
  • How does the resistance of a metallic wire change when its cross-sectional area is increased?
    The resistance decreases as the cross-sectional area increases.
