Other questions in this quiz

2. What do alloys contain, where the change in resistance is very small?

  • Iron.
  • Constantan.
  • Copper.
  • Silver.

3. When length is doubled, what else is doubled?

  • Voltage
  • Conductance
  • Resistance
  • Current

4. What are platinum alloys used for due to their range of resistances being known?

  • Light sensors.
  • Temperature sensors.
  • Filament wire.
  • Variable resistors.

5. What happens when a filament lamp becomes white hot?

  • The current falls, and so the resistance must have increased.
  • It no longer obeys Ohms Law due to temperature increasing resistance.
  • The voltage increases, which causes the temperature to increase, making the resistance rise.
  • The current increases and this causes the resistance to fall.
