You have to wait until 4.30pm until you can discuss the exam.

Not bad I should say. Was way easier than PHY 3.

I'm confused :smile:
Is this the A2 Edexcel or something different? I always have trouble telling the difference. :frown:

It is the A2 Edexcel I am talking about.

lol sorry I've just realised that was a stupid question. :biggrin:
How did you find the questions then?

Not bad as I have mentioned before. The question on waves, stationary waves and stuff was a bit confusing IMHO. Planning was good., and so was the capacitor and spring question.

Overall way better than PHY 3.

I had time problems but otherwise wasn't so bad. Didn't particularly like the planning question either, I have huge issues with planning. tbh I think I did quite badly. Out of interest, what did you put for the plan? My friends got completely different than me. :frown:

It was a solenoid and Hall probe along with sensor for planning. My diagram wasnt as neat as it should have been, but well perhaps its ok. The graph was also easy, no log or ln to be used, though the last question was tricky. Was the central value twice the value of the end? I took values from the graph and got it 20 times more !

Haha strangely enough I got it pretty much 20 times too. Doesn't sound like I got exactly the same as you for the plan, but oh well, I'm slightly happier now. :p:

I think wut u did is perfectly correct...as long as u have indicated that u have placed the hall probe parallel to the magnetic field

Hall probe should be at 90 degrees to the magnetic field, no?

I couldnt think of enough points to say for that question - what were each of the marks for :O :frown: :frown:

yep i did put it perpendicular...not sure about the sensore though :s-smilie:

wasnt the planning question similar to another one a few years ago?

about the sensor...it should be placed across the width of the Hall strip....since the power supply should be along the length
