Re: G485 June 2012 Paper and unofficial mark schemeThat would only ever be one mark loss(Original post by SS*)
I really really hope so
Also, what if you didn't divide by 1000 in the last Mpc question?...
(Sorry for asking so many questions but i'm so worried!) -

For 4b, (I didn't put this in the paper but on reflection i think this is the answer):
The gold nucleus won't have its field line deflected as much as it is a stronger field, whereas the alpha particle has a smaller charge to its line is deflected more. Still not 100% sure if this is right, but its the best guess i have. -
Re: G485 June 2012 Paper and unofficial mark schemeI did think of that, but I just stuck with the space expanding thing. I think it should get the marks though.(Original post by NikNaks)
Not sure if this has been mentioned yet; apologies if it has. For 10)b), did anyone else consider F=ma and work out the acceleration? I did that and it was really tiny (10^-15), so I used that as my reasoning. Thoughts? -
Re: G485 June 2012 Paper and unofficial mark schemeThat would only be true for a force against distance graph.(Original post by rgc610)
For the very first question, for the area under graph would "Work Done" be okay? -
Re: G485 June 2012 Paper and unofficial mark schemeIf you look in the book it does mention, Work done against capacitor = Area under graph ??(Original post by Picture~Perfect)

Re: G485 June 2012 Paper and unofficial mark schemeReally? Which book?(Original post by rgc610)
If you look in the book it does mention, Work done against capacitor = Area under graph ??
Mine just says that the area under the graph is the energy stored by the capacitor. Can that be equated to the work done? -
Re: G485 June 2012 Paper and unofficial mark schemeEnergy = work done, they're interchangeable really, both measured in J.(Original post by Picture~Perfect)

Re: G485 June 2012 Paper and unofficial mark scheme
In question 5, part C (iii) 1 - they said "The molar mass of plutonium-238 is 0.24kg" and it's supposed to be 0.24kgmol^-1, right? Will it count as a mistake made by OCR? Just like in the last June's paper they made some mistake. Would it affect the grade boundaries, what do you think? It looks insignificant, but still during the exam, when you r under high pressure, I think this could puzzle you

Re: G485 June 2012 Paper and unofficial mark scheme
No but they stated the word "Molar Mass" so it is obvious that one mole of plutonium-238 is equal to 0.24kg. I don't think so that it will be a mistake, and grade boundaries is dependent on the students that well they have done in the paper. I hope grade boundaries are low because there was a lot pressure of time. I finished my exam on the dot!

Re: G485 June 2012 Paper and unofficial mark schemeOk, thank you) I hope so too! Good luck!(Original post by Uzzy~Sheikh)

Re: G485 June 2012 Paper and unofficial mark schemeHave a look at my answers and mark scheme.(Original post by cepti)
Does anybody know what the answers to 4,5,6 were?
It's not written on the first page
Also, what if you didn't divide by 1000 in the last Mpc question?...
