[Maximum number: 3]

The diagram shows a circuit used to investigate the relationship between current and voltage for a light-emitting diode (LED).

Draw meters on the diagram to measure the voltage of the LED and the current in the LED.

[Maximum number: 3]

The diagram shows a circuit containing a cell, two switches and two resistors, $R_{1}$ and $R_{2}$ .

(a)

A light emitting diode (LED) is represented using the symbol

Draw a LED on the circuit diagram that will indicate when there is a current in resistor $\mathrm{R}_{1}$ .

[ 2 ]

LED drawn on branch of circuit containing only $\mathrm{R}_{1}$ ;
LED drawn in the correct orientation;

(b)

Both switches in the circuit are now closed.

[ 1 ]

(i)

Draw an ammeter on the circuit diagram that will measure the current in the cell.
