Circuit Diagrams problem 7


The figure below shows a simplified circuit diagram for a fan-assisted electric oven. The fan is driven by a motor.




  • On the figure, circle the symbol representing the heater.

  • The figure above includes a variable resistor.


    • State the function of a variable resistor.

    • Suggest how using a variable resistor can affect the heater.


  • The potential difference across the motor is . The current in the motor is . Calculate the resistance of the motor.


  • State the name of component X and explain how it contributes to the safety of the user.
