Question 691 Mark
Keeping the resistance constant, the potential difference applied across the ends of a component is halved. By how much does the current change?
Answer
V = R
Keeping R Constant, $\text{V}\propto\text{I}$
So, when V is halved, I also becomes half.

Question 701 Mark
Keeping the potential difference constant, the resistance of a circuit is halved. By how much does the current change?
Answer
V = R
$\text{I}=\frac{\text{V}}{\text{R}}$
Keeping V Constant $\text{I}\propto\frac{1}{\text{R}}$
So, when R is halved, I also becomes double.

Question 731 Mark
If the potential difference between the end of a wire of fixed resistance is doubled, by how much does the electric power increase?
Answer
$\text{P}=\frac{\text{V}_2}{\text{R}}$
R is fixed.
V becomes double.
Now, $\text{P}=\frac{(2\text{V})2}{\text{R}}=\frac{4\text{V}_2}{\text{R}}$
So, the electric power becomes four times its previous value.

Question 761 Mark
If 20C of charge pass a point in a circuit in 1s, what current is flowing?
Answer
Given, Q = 20C, t = 1s
I = ?
We know that:
$\text{I}=\frac{\text{Q}}{\text{T}}$
$\text{I}=\frac{20}{1}=20\text{A}$

Question 771 Mark
How should the two resistances of 2 ohms each be connencted so as to produce an equivalent resistance of 1 ohm?
Answer
Since the resultant resistance is less than the individual resistances, so the resistances should be connected in parallel.

Question 781 Mark
How much work is done when one coulomb charge moves against a potential difference of 1 volt?
Answer
Potential difference = 1V
Electricity
Charge moved = 1C
Work done = Potential difference × Charge moved
= 1 × 1 = 1J

Question 791 Mark
How much work is done in moving a charge of 2C across two points having a potential difference of 12V?
Answer
Given,
Potential difference = 12V, Charge moved = 2C
We know that,
Work done= p.d. × charge moved
= 12 × 2
= 24 joules.
