(a) At the end of the glacier, the ice in contact with water is melting.
Each word may be used once, more than once or not at all.
The ice melts because ...................................... energy is transferred from the water to
the ice. This causes the ...................................... of the water to decrease. [2]

(ii) The red lamp and the yellow lamp are switched on at the same time. The green lamp is
still switched off.
Calculate the current from the a.c. power supply at this time.
(iii) One advantage of connecting the three lamps in parallel is that each lamp gets the full
supply voltage across it.
