R 1R 2
1 / R = 1 / R1 + 1 / R2 (+ 1 / R3) OR (R =)
R1 + R 2

ignore extra resistance added to expression for R in equation C1

6Ω A1

(c) N.B. marks may be scored anywhere in (c)

(current =) zero / very small M1

diode reverse biased


OR polarity wrong OR facing wrong way
OR diode only conducts R / + to L / - A1

(d) use I = V / R OR P = VI OR P=V2 / R symbols, numbers or words M1


use of R = 8 (Ω) & correct calculation to give 2W
OR R = 4 / 0.5 = 8 (Ω) OR R = 42 / 2 = 8 (Ω)
OR any other calculation(s) using (I = V / R & P = VI) OR P = V2 / R to deduce 8 (Ω)
M1

switch position B (NOTE: this is dependent on both M1s being scored)


ignore any calculations using 2 Ω A1 [10]

(c) (i) 135 W B1

(ii) any power × any time (words or symbols or numbers) C1


NOTE: 280 (W) is the total power of lamps in house, so counts as “power”
