I said g would be 4x as big
got 5.9x10^4 for something I think it was resistance
28s for time constant
1.15 x 10^-15 for something
6.06X10^6 for something
MCQs:

I got 6.06x10^6 for something aswell :smile:

Was the direction from X to Y or Y to X


X to Y. 2F

Same!


But adding +2 to each charge would make them both positive so they would repel wouldnt they?

Also did you get 5/8pi... for one of the electric potential questions since its a scalar or did you do it as vectors?

would saying a limitation of the time period of oscillation equation is that it assumes that there is no energy lost at all be correct


Amplitude must be small

no

i put the amplitude has to be lower than 10 degrees
I didn't spot q5 till very late sadly so I had to rush the last marks, fairly certain I got the laws right but did other people just say that the wheel cuts the flux lines which causes a change in flux linkage which in turn induces an emf according to faradays. Law Which induces a current which opposes the motion of the wheel according to lenzs law which slows the wheel?
I'm confused 😭😩 what question require you to work out energy for the capacitors? Cause I literally don't remember working out energy at all :s

I put x to y

you?


left to right yeah? away from most positive??
Naturally I can't remember my MCQ answers but I made the mistake of a decrease to 80% not by and I think I got the advantage and disadvantage mixed up (stupidly)
What do others think 60 for an a*?
Going off of previous papers I don't think it was easy but the paper on the whole wasn't exactly difficult.

The whole point of simple pendulum is that the angle should be small or amplitude not very large otherwise it has another equation which is more complicated.

Pretty much
Change in flux across disc
EMF induced in disc
Current induced in disc
Magnetic field with poles opposite to other EMagnet
Opposes motion
Slows down

X to Y. 2F

It was definitely y to x because they asked for the direction of the force on charge x

1st one

I'm sure you mean angle....

I would say 60/61 for an A* as it wasn't the hardest paper ever but it wasnt tremendously easy
How can you guys have found the 6 marker hard? Haven't your teachers made you do past ISA's? Because I'm pretty sure I've basically seen that exact question in an ISA
How did you guys work out the time constant of the capacitor? I worked out the resistance then used that to get the time constant but then the next part of the question asked you to work out the resistance so I'm guessing you were supposed to do the first part a different way

Same!


it is Y to X because the magnitude was -2F

how do u remember all those letters?
For the six marker my graph was T^2 against l so 4pi^2/gradient equals g, I got g is 16 times bigger, will I lose all 3 marks?
