W 17 1

7

A filament lamp is connected to a battery.

The lamp is switched on and a data logger records the current.

The graph shows the results from the data logger.

(a)

3 Mark s

Describe in detail how the current varies with time.

Refer to data from the graph in your answer.

any three of the following:

MP1. current increases during first

0.04s/ to maximum of 0.4A;

MP2. current increase is linear

/proportionate to time;

MP3. (then) current drops for next 0.44s

/ by 0.48s;

MP4. current decrease is nonlinear;

MP5. (final)current constant value is 0.2

A/ from 0.48s onwards;

allow ‘at first’ for

first 0.04s

allow 0.5s

(b)

The battery has a voltage of 12 V.

The lamp reaches its normal operating temperature after a short while.

Suggest why a filament lamp is most likely to fail when it is first switched on.

filament heats up very rapidly (at the

start);

causing it to melt/ break;

allow wire for

filament
