X was definitely a neutral pion as all baryons decay through the weak interaction and therefore strangeness is not conserved. A very similar question came up in the June 2014. I put K^0 so I definitely lost a mark there
It wasn't just similar, I think it was exactly the same!
For the heater question, the wires were in parallel right??? from that i worked out the rms voltage across the heating component to be 229.5V
Why would the wires be in parallel? The circuit would be a cell and a resistor (filament) with each side of the resistor connected to the cell therefore it is in series.
What did people put for the "how can this characteristic be used to work out the resistance of the diode between A and B" or something like that? I actually left it blank because I couldn't think of a thing!
I thought the wording was odd, because it referred to O to B as the "characteristic" of the question earlier on. I assumed they were talking about how the resistance changes from O to A and talked about how the resistance decreases as the gradient increases or something along those lines

Damn, didnt think about it like that, yours seems more likely

The way I saw it was, two wires coming out of a plug going onto the same component - they must have been in parallel? Very vague wording in the question to be fair

The graph was I against V and resistance is calculated by V/I I put that the resistance at a given point is calculated by 1/gradient and that resistance decreases as voltage increases.

For the last part of the heater question how did you work out the power produced by the heating component???
I used the V^2/R with the voltage being the RMS Voltage (minus 2 x wire pd) as it is by definition the equivalent voltage in dc circuit to provide the same heating effect

Sounds right! I hope they weren't asking how to determine the exact numerical resistance
There's a cable that's made from other cables, each with their own resistance. When calculating the resistance of the entire cable, you had to assume they were in parallel

In this paper they made it obvious they were in parallel. In this it was not..? (Hoping)

Yeah but 229.5v to the same sig figs as question is 230, so mustve been series to get an acceptable different answer of 228v
