- Most of the candidates got the  answer wrong because they did not know the simple formulae;   V = IR  and H = IVt.  The required solution to  a(i) is
V         =          lR
                        R         =          l0,   V = 12
                        I           =          V      =    12      =    1.2  Amperes
                          R            10
                                  The  required solution to a(ii) is
                                  H         =          IV  t
                          I           =          1.2
                          V         =          12
                          t           =          5
                                  H         =          1  . 2  x 12   x  5
                          =          72 joules.
                      
                        - This part of the question did  not pose much problem to the candidates.
