Let's solve each question step by step.
---
Question 4:
A circuit contains a 12-volt battery connected to a light bulb having resistance of 5 ohms. Find the current.
#### Solution:
We use Ohm's Law, which states:
\[
I = \frac{V}{R}
\]
where:
- \( I \) is the current (in amperes),
- \( V \) is the voltage (in volts),
- \( R \) is the resistance (in ohms).
Given:
- \( V = 12 \) V,
- \( R = 5 \) Ω.
Substitute the values into Ohm's Law:
\[
I = \frac{12}{5} = 2.4 \text{ A}
\]
#### Answer:
\[
\boxed{2.4 \text{ A}}
\]
---
Question 5:
Two batteries, one of 3 V and the other of 12 V, are connected in series to a resistor of 1 kohm. Find the current that will flow through the resistors.
#### Solution:
When batteries are connected in series, their voltages add up. Therefore, the total voltage \( V_{\text{total}} \) is:
\[
V_{\text{total}} = 3 \text{ V} + 12 \text{ V} = 15 \text{ V}
\]
The resistance \( R \) is given as 1 kohm, which is:
\[
R = 1 \text{ kΩ} = 1000 \text{ Ω}
\]
Using Ohm's Law:
\[
I = \frac{V_{\text{total}}}{R} = \frac{15}{1000} = 0.015 \text{ A}
\]
#### Answer:
\[
\boxed{0.015 \text{ A}}
\]
---
Question 6:
Two lamps, each having a resistance of 3 ohms, are connected in series. What current will flow if a voltage source of 5 V is connected at the input?
#### Solution:
When resistors are connected in series, their resistances add up. Therefore, the total resistance \( R_{\text{total}} \) is:
\[
R_{\text{total}} = 3 \text{ Ω} + 3 \text{ Ω} = 6 \text{ Ω}
\]
The voltage \( V \) is given as 5 V. Using Ohm's Law:
\[
I = \frac{V}{R_{\text{total}}} = \frac{5}{6} \approx 0.833 \text{ A}
\]
#### Answer:
\[
\boxed{0.833 \text{ A}}
\]
---
Question 7:
How does the current change in a circuit for constant voltage when the resistance value increases?
#### Solution:
Ohm's Law states:
\[
I = \frac{V}{R}
\]
where:
- \( I \) is the current,
- \( V \) is the voltage (constant in this case),
- \( R \) is the resistance.
If the voltage \( V \) is constant and the resistance \( R \) increases, the current \( I \) decreases because \( I \) is inversely proportional to \( R \). Mathematically:
\[
I \propto \frac{1}{R}
\]
#### Answer:
\[
\boxed{\text{Current decreases}}
\]
---
Question 8:
A certain resistance has 10 Amps current through it when a 50 V source is applied. Find the value of the resistance.
#### Solution:
We use Ohm's Law:
\[
R = \frac{V}{I}
\]
where:
- \( V = 50 \) V,
- \( I = 10 \) A.
Substitute the values:
\[
R = \frac{50}{10} = 5 \text{ Ω}
\]
#### Answer:
\[
\boxed{5 \text{ Ω}}
\]
