(iv)
Relate the thickness of the copper wire to its resistance.
Hubungkaitkan ketebalan wayar kuprum dengan rintangan.


(c)
You are provided with three light bulbs labelled A, B and C labelled A, B and C as shown in Diagram 6.3.
Anda dibekalkan dengan tiga mentol Anda dibekalkan dengan tiga mentol berlabel A, B dan C seperti dalam Rajah 6.3. seperti dalam Rajah 6.3.
Draw and label an electric circuit connecting all the three bulbs in which all the bulbs should light up with normal brightness connected to a power supply of 240 V alternating current . Add switches to the circuit.
Lukis dan label satu litar elektrik yang menyambungkan ketiga-tiga mentol di mana semua a mentol seharusnya menyala dengan kecerahan normal apabila disambungkan kepada bekalan kuasa 240 V arus ulang-alik. Tambahkan suis pada litar anda.
