Just a query - can they test you on content in the Synoptic Unit, or from the AS modules?

I saw a question one year that you'd need to know stuff from module two. It was to do with resistance, and then drawing a current voltage graph for something ( cant remember but it was one you should know from module 2)

Oh dear. Oh deary me.

Dont worry too much about it. Give your notes a quick look over. It may only be a small question, as most will be based on module 5 and some module 4.

Thanks very much, that's what I'm hoping. :smile:

Well, not really actually, as I'm still clueless on the hall probe. :s-smilie:

Me too!

Revise page 47 of the NAS textbook, very very thoroughly.

I don't think I have that textbook. :frown:

I have an old, thick one. Eh. I'll have a look. :smile:

Ooh, okay. Basically have a look at magnetic fields through a solenoid and a a straight wire. Just learn off those experiments.

Good idea!

(I'm terrible at planning experiments - I have no idea what to write. So looking at pre-done ones should give me an idea.)

Many thanks for all your help. :smile:

That was a question for the resistance of a lamp right? I think it was June 2007.

You may be correct. My teacher just gave us out copies of that one question, and not the whole paper so I didnt know what year.

I see. Well, all the best for tomorrow's exam! :biggrin:

In my mocks I was given questions on resonance (mainly showin you could measure the period), LDR's (although the bulk of this quesion was showing what you would do with results), capacitor discharge and Hall Probes/flux density (this was planning)

Btw, does any one have any idea wut this yrs paper will most likely be about?

nah they can't ask u anythin from the synoptic! theres not much to ask really in terms of a practical!

Which NAS? Fields, forces and synthesis?

the new cheif examiner likes to throw in occilations and a possible interferance pattern of microwaves might be introduced ?

Sorry guys.

I meant page 40 an 41 of the Nas textbook (Fields, forces and synthesis)

i guess the best advice is to stay calm and use sense -if the physics doesnt work dont try to make it out as if it does :biggrin:

always use the simplest methods to do a task and just stay calm, and dont do anything atleats 2 hours before - ul just confuse urself going into the practical
