    Can someone please help me with a question about electricity! I can do calculations but when it comes to explaining I'm hopeless!

    It's on the jan 2010 paper unit 1! Question 6b! Why would c and d go flat first? I don't understand why when the cell gets a large current the cell will go flat? I need an explanantion in detail please?

    Can't wait to drop Physics. Bane of my life!
    ... Revision is here and there really...I'm focusing more on the Unit 2 as the resit is the last of my exams and have a fair few days to revise on that solely.
    You?

    There is no such thing as need, especially 120 ums - you mean you really want 120 ums.
    My advice for 120 ums in unit 1 (because I got it :yay:) is to look at all possible past papers you can get your hand on. Reading around the topic doesn't really help with AQA science exams (unless you still don't understand things in the topic by now - in which case you shouldn't really be aiming for 120 ums ).
