body

To work safely, it is important to switch off the ______ before working on a circuit

power

According to Ohm's law, the current flowing through a conductor is directly proportional to the potential difference applied across its ends, provided the temperature remains constant. The formula derived from Ohm's law is $V = I imes R$, where V is in volts (V), I is in amperes (A), and R is in ohms (Ω).

In a simple electric circuit, if the current is 0.5 A and the resistance is 20 Ω, the voltage is ___ V.

10

In a simple electric circuit, if the voltage is 110 V and the resistance is 550 Ω, the current is ___ A.

0.2

In a simple electric circuit, if the voltage is 24 V and the resistance is 10 kilo-ohms (kΩ), the current is ___ A.

0.0024

In a simple electric circuit, if the resistance is 200 Ω and the voltage is 110 V, the current drawn is ___ A.

0.55

The current flowing in a circuit of 50 Ω is 0.2 A. The supply voltage is ___ V.

10

Making energy-efficient choices allows us to save electricity and money without compromising on our quality of ______.

life

Set the air conditioner to about 25 °C. Use ______ Efficiently.

Appliances

Replace incandescent light bulbs with energy-saving compact fluorescent bulbs or ______ bulbs.

LED

Series circuits have only one path for the current to flow, and the supply voltage is the sum of all the individual voltages. The total resistance in a series circuit is the sum of all the individual resistances. Applying Ohm's Law to a series circuit, the supply voltage is equal to the current multiplied by the total resistance, and the voltage across each component is equal to the current multiplied by its respective resistance. In a series circuit with R1 = 10 Ω, R2 = 20 Ω, and VS = 120 V, the total resistance is ______.

30 Ω

In a series circuit with R1 = 10 Ω, R2 = 20 Ω, and VS = 120 V, the supply current is ______.

4 A

In a series circuit with R1 = 10 Ω, R2 = 20 Ω, and VS = 120 V, the voltage across R1 is ______.

40 V

In a series circuit with R1 = 40 Ω, IS = 0.5 A, and VT = 60 V, the resistance R2 is ______.

80 Ω
