1 EPSE Project 1: Sample Diagnostic Questions - Set 2 Electric current These questions all probe pupils understanding of the idea of electric current as a conserved quantity, i.e. as something which goes round an electric circuit but is used up as it goes. The questions explore this idea in several contexts, with different components in the circuit. It is easy to make more questions of the same sort, by changing the components (e.g. from a bulb to a resistor or motor, or vice versa), or changing the way the current is measured (e.g. from asking about the size of the current at a point to asking about the reading on an ammeter). Qs1-8 ask about observable phenomena. These questions all have a two-tier format which we have found useful for probing pupils ability to predict what will be observed but also to choose the best explanation for this. If a pupil gets both tiers right it is unlikely that their answer is a guess. Qs9-10 then ask about pupils mental models of what is going on. It is interesting to see if these are consistent with their predictions and explanations in the earlier ones. These questions are taken from a larger bank of diagnostic questions and tasks developed by the Evidence-based Practice in Science Education (EPSE) Research Network. The EPSE network was funded between 1999 and 2003 by the UK Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) as part of the Teaching and Learning Research Programme (TLRP).

2 1 The two bulbs in this circuit are identical. bulb 1 bulb 2 (a) How bright will the bulbs be? Bulb 1 is lit. Bulb 2 is off. Bulb 2 is lit. Bulb 1 is off. Both bulbs are lit. Bulb 1 is brighter than bulb 2. Both bulbs are lit. Bulb 2 is brighter than bulb 1. Both bulbs are lit, with the same brightness. The first bulb uses up all of the electric current, so there is none left for the other one. The first bulb uses up some of the electric current, so there is less left for the other one. The electric current is shared equally between the two bulbs. The electric current is the same all round the circuit. How confident are you that your answers to this question are correct?
3 2 The two bulbs in this circuit are identical. bulb 2 (a) How bright will the bulbs be? bulb 1 Both bulbs are lit. Bulb 1 is brighter than bulb 2. Both bulbs are lit. Bulb 2 is brighter than bulb 1. Both bulbs are lit, with the same brightness. Bulb 1 is lit. Bulb 2 is off. Bulb 2 is lit. Bulb 1 is off. The first bulb uses up all of the electric current, so there is none left for the other one. The first bulb uses up some of the electric current, so there is less left for the other one. Bulb 2 is closer to the battery, so it gets more electric current. The electric current is shared equally between the two bulbs. The electric current is the same everywhere in the circuit. How confident are you that your answers to this question are correct?
4 3 The five bulbs in this circuit are identical. bulb 1 bulb 5 (a) How bright will the bulbs be? bulb 2 bulb 3 bulb 4 Bulb 1 is lit. The others are off. Bulb 5 is lit. The others are off. Bulbs 1 and 5 are brightest, then bulbs 2 and 4, and bulb 3 is dimmest. Bulb 3 is brightest, then bulbs 2 and 4, and bulbs 1 and 5 are dimmest. Bulb 1 is brightest, then they get gradually dimmer as you go round the circuit. Bulb 5 is brightest, then they get gradually dimmer as you go round the circuit. All the bulbs are lit with the same brightness. The first bulb uses up all of the electric current, so there is none left for the others. Each bulb uses up some of the electric current, so there is less left for the next one along The electric current is shared between the five bulbs. The current gets weaker as it gets further from the battery. The electric current is the same all round the circuit. The currents from the two terminals of the battery meet at bulb 3. How confident are you that your answers to this question are correct?
5 4 In this circuit, the bulb is lit. a b (a) What can you say about the electric current at points a and b? The electric current at a is bigger than at b. The electric current at b is bigger than at a. The electric current is the same size at a and b. The current is the same all round the circuit. Some of the current is used up by the bulb. All of the current is used up by the bulb. How confident are you that your answers to this question are correct?
6 5 In this circuit, a battery is connected to a motor. There is a reading on both ammeters. A 1 A 2 M motor (a) What can you say about the readings on the two ammeters? The reading on ammeter A 1 is bigger. The reading on ammeter A 2 is bigger. The readings on the two ammeters are the same. The current is the same all round the circuit. Some of the current is used up by the motor. All of the current is used up by the motor. How confident are you that your answers to this question are correct?
7 6 In this circuit a battery is connected to a resistor, R. The reading on ammeter A 1 is 0.5 amps. A 1 A 2 0.5A R (a) What will the reading on ammeter A 2 be? More than 0.5 amps Exactly 0.5 amps Less than 0.5 amps, but not zero Zero Some of the current is used up by the resistor. All of the current is used up by the resistor. The current is the same all round the circuit. How confident are you that your answers to this question are correct?
8 7 In this circuit the bulb is lit and the reading on the ammeter is 0.2 amps. 0.2A A The ammeter is then moved to the other side of the circuit. A (a) What is the reading on the ammeter now? More than 0.2 amps Exactly 0.2 amps Less than 0.2 amps, but not zero Zero The current is the same all round the circuit. Some of the current is used up by the bulb. All of the current is used up by the bulb. How confident are you that your answers to this question are correct?
9 8 In this circuit, a battery is connected to a resistor, R. The reading on the ammeter is 0.1 amps. 0.1A A R P A second ammeter is then connected into the circuit at point P. (a) What will the reading on this second ammeter be? More than 0.1 amps Exactly 0.1 amps Less than 0.1 amps, but not zero Zero All of the current is used up by the resistor. Some of the current is used up by the resistor. The current is the same all round the circuit. How confident are you that your answers to this question are correct?

(c) Which of the following statements is correct about the wire on the right? There is an electric current from E to F. There is an electric current from F to E. There is no electric current in this wire. How confident are you that your answers to this question are correct?
11 10 A bulb is connected to a battery. The bulb is lit. Battery Which of the following best describes the electric current in this circuit? There is an electric current through one wire to the bulb. It is all used up in the bulb. So there is no current in the other wire. Battery There is an electric current through one wire to the bulb. Some of it is used up in the bulb. So there is a smaller current in the other wire. Battery There is an electric current through one wire to the bulb. It passes through the bulb and back to the battery. The current in the other wire is the same size. Battery There are two electric currents from the battery to the bulb. They meet at the bulb and this is what makes it light. Battery How confident are you that your answers to this question are correct?
