Section A 1 In this experiment, you will investigate an electrical circuit containing a light - emitting diode (LED). You are provided with • a power supply (consists of two 1.5 V batteries with battery holders), • a switch, • a light-emitting diode (LED), • 1500 Ω and 6200 Ω resistors, • a voltmeter, • 6 connecting leads, • a digital micrometer. (a) The LED has two legs, one labelled positive, and the other labelled negative. Measure and record the diameter of any one leg. diameter = …………………………. [1] Assemble the circuit shown in Fig. 1.1, where R = 1500 Ω. Fig. 1.1 (b) (i) Connect the voltmeter across junctions Y and Z to measure the potential difference (p.d.) VR across R. Close the switch and record VR. VR = …………………………. [1] R

Calculate the current 𝐼 in the circuit using the relationship 𝐼 = 𝑉𝑅 𝑅 where R is the resistance of the resistor that is in the circuit. 𝐼 = …………………………. [1] (iii) Connect the voltmeter across junctions X and Y to measure the p.d. V across the LED. Close the switch and record V. V = …………………………. [1] (iv) Calculate the p
