at a frequency of 0.67 Hz. The ball carries a charge of magnitude 72 nC each time it crosses from one
plate to the other. Calculate the average current in the circuit and the number of electrons
transferred each time the ball touches one of the plates.
2) Calculate the current in a wire through which a charge of 25 C passes in 1500 s. The current in a
wire is 36 mA. Calculate the charge that flows along the wire in one minute
3) A high efficiency LED lamp is lit for 2 hours. Calculate the energy transfer to the lamp when the pd
across it is 240 V and the current in it is 50 mA
4) A cell has a terminal voltage of 1.5 V and can deliver a charge of 460 C before it becomes
discharged, calculate the maximum energy that the cell can deliver. The current in the cell never
exceeds 5 mA. Estimate the lifetime of the cell.
5) A 3V, 1.5W filament lamp is connected to a 3V battery, calculate the intensity in the lamp and the
energy transferred in 2400 s
6) An electric motor that is connected to a 12V supply is able to raise a 0.1 kg load through a distance
of 1.5m in 7s. The motor is 40% efficient. Calculate the average current in the motor while the load is
being raised.
1) A conducting ball suspended from a long insulating thread moves between the two charged plates
at a frequency of 0.67 Hz. The ball carries a charge of magnitude 72 nC each time it crosses from one
plate to the other. Calculate the average current in the circuit and the number of electrons
transferred each time the ball touches one of the plates.
