H2 Physics: Circuits structured questions
Written practice in resistivity, potential dividers, internal resistance, RC discharge and capacitor combinations. Five questions are selected for each attempt.
Learning objectives
- Recall circuit symbols and draw or interpret circuit diagrams.
- Draw circuit diagrams containing sources, switches, resistors, meters, lamps, thermistors, light-dependent resistors and diodes.
- Apply resistance and resistivity, interpret I–V characteristics and explain temperature effects.
- Analyse e.m.f., terminal potential difference and internal resistance in real sources.
- Analyse series, parallel and potential-divider resistor networks.
- Combine capacitors in series and parallel.
- Analyse charging and discharging in RC circuits using the time constant.
