Jane uses this apparatus to find out how the resistance of an LDR varies. She notes the resistance of
the LDR when it is at different distances from the lamp.
1. When Jane moves the lamp from 10 cm to 30 cm, the resistance of the LDR increases by
A 800 ohms
B 1400 ohms
C 2200 ohms
D 2400 ohms
2. Which circuit should Jane use to measure the resistance of the LDR?
3. Jane repeated the experiment using a lamp which was less bright.
Which of these shows her new graph?
Old computers
Peter has decided to replace his old computer.

The statement cannot be valid because
8. Peter uses his computer to collect and display data from some experiments about plant
growth.
Which of these is the best reason for Peter to use the computer?
In 1827, Georg Ohm published the results of some experiments. He had investigated the current in a
conductor and the voltage across it. His conclusion was V = I × R.
10. He let scientists in other parts of the world know of his discovery.
Which of these methods would he have used in 1827?
A the radio
B a telephone
C the internet
D a letter
