O Levels Physics (5054)•5054/11/O/N/20
Question 38 from 5054/11/O/N/20

Explanation

Voltage division in series circuit Steps:

  • Components in series share the 6.0 V potential difference proportional to their resistances: V_LDR = 6.0 × (R_LDR / (R_therm + R_LDR)).
  • Diagram "as shown" is missing, making exact configuration ambiguous (e.g., which component the voltmeter measures).
  • Calculations for standard series: A gives ≈2.7 V, B ≈4.6 V, C = 5.0 V, D ≈5.7 V; none exactly 2.0 V.
  • Not enough information to confirm the condition for exactly 2.0 V across LDR. Why C is correct:
  • Not enough information. Why the others are wrong:
  • A: Calculation gives ≈2.7 V, not 2.0 V.
  • B: Calculation gives ≈4.6 V, not 2.0 V.
  • D: Calculation gives ≈5.7 V, not 2.0 V. Final answer: Not enough information.
Topic: Action and use of circuit components
