AQA AS Physics Unit 1

How did everyone find that? I think it was fairly easy, only trouble I had was with the question with the internal resistance, but I think I got it in the end. Wasn't expecting another six marker on electric circuits but think I covered everything on it.

When are we allowed to discuss answers for AQA exams?

What did you get for the internal resistance?

For AQA you can talk about the answers as soon as it's finished.

Not really sure how I think it went I just couldn't concentrate on it. Particles bits were fairly easy

Can't actually remember...all I can remember is that for the current I got 2.5A. At first I got 1/3A but I went back and had another look cos all my other answers were horrible fractions. What did you get for the current?

3 ohms

For the current it was I^2 = PR

i got 3 ohms as well

P = I^2R rearranges to I^2 = P/R doesn't it?

The maths for the internal resistance should come out around about 3. The way to check that was that the maximum power occurred at the graph when the resistor had resistance of roughly 3, and power is at a maximum when the resistance in the circuit is equal to the internal resistance

Yea lol thats what I meant, missed out the / lol.

Anyone know if there's an unofficial mark scheme coming out soon for this?

Yes I got around 3ohms

I got around 3 ohms as well.


Is there an unofficial mark scheme anywhere?

thought the test was easy

From what i can remember:

1i)K+ structure was anti S U
ii) Baryon number was 0
iii)K- anti
In the B- decay the new element has 14 atomic mass 7 proton number

Particle x in the other decay was a pion neutral.

that was from q1 anyway

I got for the decay a muon neutrino to conserve lepton number. Did I read a pion as a muon? :frown:

Muon neutrino would not conserve lepton number.

I thought it asked for the resistances of 0.80ohms and you had to relate it to the power value and use I^2=P/R and the power was about 1.9W for 0.80ohms.

K+->Pion+ + X
K+ is a meson
pion is a meson

Charge must be neutral
Baryon number must be 0
Lepton must be 0
>x=pion0

Yeh it did. Then you use P=I^2R to get I^2=2.375, I=1.54A
I read the value of 1.9W for 0.8ohms off the graph, people seem to be saying that they read 1.95W and 2.0W at my college, even though I am adamant that it was exactly 1.9W which gave me a value of 1.5A for the current, 1.2V for the pd across Y and 3.1ohms for the internal resistance (2sf)

I got this too :smile:
