Circuit and charge problems

1. Distinguish between a proton and electron - how are they similar/different?

2.  How is the coulomb of charge related to the actual charge of a proton or electron?  How does it compare?

3.  Draw the schematic for a simple light bulb and battery circuit.  Identify what the symbols represent.

4.  Describe the difference between voltage, current and resistance.  Give the proper units, too.

5. 10 coulombs of charge flows past a point in a circuit in 5 seconds. What is the current?

6. A 10-volt battery is connected to a resistor.  If 2 amps of current pass through the resistor, what is the resistance of this resistor?


Several students have asked about forming a study group.  Please email me that you are interested and I'll create a list for sharing - you can all work out the details of when/if you meet:
