A) 0.72 kJ C) 86.4 kJ B) 1.44 kJ D) 5184 kJ Work = 10. You are given five electrically charged spheres and told that sphere 4 is positively charged. The following diagrams show what happens to these spheres when they are suspended in pairs close to each other. 1 2 1 3 2 4 Which of these spheres is negatively charged? A) Sphere 1 C) Sphere 3 B) Sphere 2 D) Sphere 5 3 5 11. The following diagram shows a bar magnet and four compasses. Which compass shows the needle pointing in the correct direction? A) Compass 1 B) Compass 2 C) D) Compass 4 12. The following diagram shows a magnet, an electromagnet and a small car containing iron. S N + What happens when an electric current flows through the electromagnet? Using the right hand rule for solenoids, you should discover that the south pole of the electromagnet is closest to the south pole of the bar magnet, therefore they will repel. The small car is made of iron and therefore ferromagnetic, so will be attracted by the electromagnet. 13. A battery operated toy police car has 3 types of lights that can come on in different ways. The car has only one electrical circuit that controls the lights The headlights and the tail lights come on when you start the car If necessary, the flashing light can come on at the same time as the headlights and the tail lights. This toy police car is illustrated in the diagram below: Draw the circuit diagram that represents the electrical circuit that can control the lights in this toy police car. headlights Tail lights Flashing lights 14. The electrical circuit of a magnetic alarm system is illustrated in the diagram below Identify the electrical function of the five components above. Component 1 2 3 4 5 Name of Component Magnetic switch wires Speakers/flashing lights Battery fuse Electrical Function Control Conduction Transformation of energy Power supply protection 15. Your parents currently have a 42 inch plasma tv that requires 120 V and 0.5 A of current. Your family typically watches 6 hours of tv per day. They are thinking of replacing their tv with a 50 inch LED which will consume about 348 per day based on the average usage. Your parents tell you that even though the tv is bigger, the energy consumption will decrease because LED tvs use much less energy. Are your parents correct? Does the 50 inch LED tv consume less energy than the 42 inch plasma tv? Show work. For the 42 inch plasma Your parents were correct, the 50 inch LED tv uses less energy than the 42 inch plasma based on your average daily consumption
