Year 9 Electricity Test Name__________________________ Date_____________________ TOTAL MARKS /52 Section A: Multiple Choice Questions (out of 13 marks) 1. The device used to measure electric current is: (1 mark) A amperes B voltmeter C ohmeter D ammeter 2. A transformer: (1 mark) A B C increases or decreases voltage is a safety device that cuts the current if too much is flowing transforms voltage into current D is a power pack 3. Which of the following materials is an insulator? (1 mark) A copper B rubber C nichrome D aluminium 4. A charged particle has 35 protons, 38 neutrons and 34 electrons. What would be the overall charge of the particle? (1 mark) A +1 B -1 C +3 D -3 5. Two light globes are attached in parallel with a battery. Another light globe is attached in parallel to the first two. What would happen to the brightness of the first two globes? (1 mark) A They get duller. B They get brighter. C They stay the same brightness. D They would all ‘blow’. 6. Which of the following represents Ohm’s Law? (1 mark) A R=IXV B R = V/I C V = I/R D I=RXV 7. The resistance of a wire does NOT depend on the: (1 mark) A type of material the wire is made from B length C thickness of the wire D voltage applied across the wire 8. What would be the resistance of a wire that carries 6A when 12V is applied across it? (1 mark) A 2 ohms B 24 ohms C 0.5 ohms D 1 ohms 9. If the voltage is held constant, what happens to the current when resistance is increased? (1 mark) A Increases B Decreases C Stays the same D Not enough information to decide 10. The earth wire is most commonly coloured: (1 mark) A Blue B Red B Brown D Green/yellow Use the following information to answer questions 11, 12 and 13 below. A light globe was connected into the circuit below. The current passing through it was measured as the voltage of the power pack was increased. The results of the experiment are shown in the graph below. 11. State the approximate current flowing through the globe when 2.5 V is applied across it. (1 mark) A 0.02 A B 2A C 0.025 A D 0.005 A 12. The current was not measured when the voltage was zero. Use the graph to predict the current when the battery is disconnected. (1 mark) A 0A B 0.002 A C 0.004 A D 0.005 A 13. The resistance of the graph can be predicted from the slope of the graph. The steeper the graph, the higher the resistance of the light globe. Use the graph to determine which of the following statements is most accurate. (1 mark) A B C D Resistance is constant. Resistance increases as voltage increases. Resistance decreases as voltage increases. Resistance is zero because the wire in a light globe is a conductor. Section B: Short Answer Questions (out of 41 marks) 1.
