Electricity
1) Current Questions:
a. A circuit has an ammeter connected to it. The ammeter reads 4.2 A. After 15
seconds, how much charge should have passed through the ammeter?

b. If 300 coulombs of electricity pass through a wire in 15 seconds, what is the

current in the circuit?
 c. A particular circuit cannot have more than 30 amps of electricity run through it,
or it will break. A battery attached to it causes 900 coulombs of electricity to
move in 3 seconds. Will the circuit work?

d. A battery can hold 30 000 coulombs of energy. It is attached to a circuit that has
a current of 1.2 amps. How long will it take to recharge this battery?

2) Potential Difference Questions:

a. A battery has 90 Joules of Energy in it. This energy places 30 C of electrons on
the negative terminal. What is the potential difference of this battery?

b. A battery has a label on it that reads “7 Volts.” A measurement shows that there
is 30 C of electrons on the negative terminal. How much energy is being
converted in the battery?

c. A circuit cannot handle a battery with a voltage that exceeds 6 volts. A battery with 56
Joules of energy has 7 C of excess electrons on its negative terminal. Will the circuit be
able to handle its voltage?

3) Resistance Questions:
a. A blender is plugged into a wall outlet, and has a known resistance of 43 Ω.
What is the expected current? (the voltage in a wall outlet is 120V)

b. An electric kettle’s label says it has a resistance of 13 Ω. When it is plugged in a

wall socket, the current through it reads 9.7 amps. Is the label correct?

A 20 Volt Battery is connected to a circuit with 3 resistors, which are 10 Ω, 5 Ω, and 4 Ω. What
is the current in each part of the circuit if:
a. The resistors are in series (Page 354)
b. The resistors are parallel. (Page 355)
