OCR Physics B G495 Field and Particle Pictures June 21st 2011 Exam Thread

Hi sorry I'm so confused about UMS... 600 overall, 480 for an A
What are the UMS total marks for each exam? All I know is coursework is 60UMS.. What are field and particle pictures and rise and falls'?????

coursework is 60, field is 150, rise and fall is 90.

I seem to remember it being 150 UMS for this exam, and 90 UMS for clockwork universe, and obviously the other 300 from AS. Not sure about the numbers for this year though, and I haven't found anywhere on OCR's website where it actually says O.o

although people are saying the mistake wasn't in OCR b, what did people get for the question where you had to prove the force was almost 1 micronewton, which is 1x10^-6, with F=kx, cus i kept on getting 1 point something x10^-5 instead, i've probably been an idiot and missed out something however...

What did people get for the section C question about the energy between the kryptonite (?) waves or something. I used E=hc/lambda but it was worth 3 marks so not sure if that was enough!

Im pretty sure you had to work out the difference in energy levels, that being the lower one, which was why it was 3 marks. Just using hc/lambda is not a 3 mark question.

exactly my thoughts! how can you have 219.7 turns! :s-smilie:

i did a question on Transformers in the revision book and it asked me simialr question and i got exactly whole number :s-smilie:

yes! i did the calculation the other way and got a whole number of like 50300 or whatever it was you put earlier and i was torn whether to put that or the fraction...
i just emailed them complaining ill PM you it

how many marks do you think the diameter thing will cost me? :frown:

That's why I found it weird it would be worth 3 marks. :confused:

What was the correct method?

I think maybe 3 or 4, it had to be used in the next question too didn't it?

Somehow I managed to get 8 x 10^9 but a lot of people seem to have got 9 so I think I may have really stupidly rounded wrong.

I got that.
