2 Look at the circuit diagram.

The sentences each contain choices of words. Underline the correct words in each sentence.
a To measure the current in the lamp, an ammeter / a voltmeter is connected
in series / in parallel with the lamp. [1]
b To measure the voltage across the lamp, an ammeter / a voltmeter is connected
in series / in parallel with the lamp. [1]
3 Look at the circuit diagram.

The voltage across L 1 is 1.5 V.

State the voltage of the cell. [1]

_______________ V

4 A current of 2 A flows through a 10 Ω resistor.

Calculate the voltage across the resistor. [2]
Show your working.

_______________ V
5 In the space below, draw a circuit where:
• there is one cell
• a lamp and a buzzer can be switched on and off separately
• the brightness of the lamp can be varied without affecting the buzzer. [3]
