Yeah found it ok apart from the astro 6 marker, I stated the formula of how to calculate v but didn't do the calculation and I got a time period of just over 5 days
Ye the 6 marker was difficult, I believe I got the time period to be around 4 days ?
Yes I do, electricity requires a flow of electrons but this was alpha particles not electrons so there wasn't electricity! If it were electrons being deflected by the nuclei I'd agree with you as a magnetic field would be induced but in this case it wont
PHYA5D; Turning points was relatively standard, majority of the the section A everyone sat was good, the QWC was good, the paper as a whole was nice. I'm unsure on boundaries as there was one year the cap was 67 for 5D, aside from that it lies around 58-60, and this years was harder than last because last years was very easy but had great UMS. I'd probably say it's around 63 cap from previous papers. Thoughts?

You're missing the point entirely. The electromagnetic force is in play, that has nothing to do with whether "electricity" was present.
Electromagnetism is a field of physics, and may refer only to changing electric fields and induced magnetism.
But the electromagnetic force is one of the four fundamental forces of nature, and is in play in this question.
For the assumption ii said in (bold letters : MOVING ) particles would that exclude some of the assumption for those answers? I put perfectly elastic between collisions and move randomly and rapidly?

We can argue this all day haha but yeah I agree with your last paragraph. However electrostatic force is a type of electromagnetic force but all electromagnetic forces aren't electrostatic forces as it's not always a static field. Do u get what I'm trying to say now?

Varying KE and random motion no preferred direction of motion
