1. Give 1 advantage of using a circuit breaker.
• Reset instead of replaced.• Easier to see if it’s off.

2. What type of appliance uses the greatest power?
• One which produces heat.

![Page 11: Twenty Questions](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062314/5681313a550346895d97b015/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
9. Give an example each of a d.c. and an a.c. power source.
• d.c – battery• a.c - mains.

10. If a heater uses 1500 J of energy each second, What current will it draw if it is working from the mains voltage?•V = 230V• P = 1500W as P = E / t •I = P ÷ V = 1500 ÷ 230 = 6.5 A
![Page 13: Twenty Questions](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062314/5681313a550346895d97b015/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
11. Calculate the current in a circuit if 135 charges take 3minutes to travel through the circuit.
• Q = I t t = 3x60 =180s I = Q/t • I = 135/180 • I = 0.75A

12. What are the values of the voltage and frequency of the mains supply?
•230V
•50Hz

13. What is current?
•The flow of electric charges around a circuit.

16. What danger is present when using a multiway adapter?
•If too many appliances are used or ones which require much current are used it may overheat and catch fire.

17. Calculate the number of electrons that pass through a wire carrying a current of 2 A for 5 s. Qelectron = 1.6x10-19 C
• Q = It• = 2 x 5• = 10CNo. of electrons =10 ÷ 1.6x10-19
= 6.25 x 1019
