1 Ling has a torch with a filament lamp.
(a) What is the correct circuit symbol for a filament lamp?
Put a ring around the correct option.
[1]
(b) The torch is not working. Ling makes this circuit to test components.
Ammeter
Crocodile clip
A
B
Crocodile clip
Battery
Complete the sentences to explain how the circuit works.
Put a ring around each correct option.
A component is connected to A and B using the ammeter / battery / crocodile clips.
If the ammeter measures a current it means that the circuit is broken / complete / faulty.
This shows that the component conducts electricity / heat / light.

(c) Which equation shows how to calculate the energy transferred to the filament lamp?
Tick (3) one box.
energy transferred = charge ÷ potential difference
energy transferred = potential difference ÷ charge
energy transferred = potential difference × charge
[1]
(d) The current through the filament lamp is 0.5 A.
Calculate the charge that flows through the lamp in 30 s.
Use the equation: charge = current × time
Charge = ........................................................C [2]
