How many marks was the capacitance energy question at the beginning of the written paper?
Original post by Nikhilm
Straight horizontal line, force is constant in uniform field


nice one, that's at least one guaranteed mark then lol

couldn't remember whether the question said the force when it moves itself, or when its position is changed

I was annoyed and just was like, **** it, and took it out of the room.

I have no time atm, but sometime this evening I will post the answers

Could you start a new thread for it once you do it? I'll be (and probably others) revising for C3 so i won't be on SR all day

I wonder why they make us put our details on that booklet. :hmmmm:

its probably C/B borderline, not bad


See... i need an A overall for my uni offer. I got good a good mark on my Isa, so do you think i could still pull off an A if i get a good grade in unit 5?

I thought it was weird that you had to fill out your details on the question paper when there's a separate answer sheet, but are you sure they didn't need that mate?

Not too easy: http://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/showthread.php?t=4176490

Remember that people who do well are more likely to tell you about it :tongue:


Yeah that's true :redface:
Reassuring that most people found it okay, I might still have a chance to get an A* if the boundaries aren't too high then. Yay :h:
Link please...

What did you get last year?

An A.... but only just (245 UMS)

who cares just lets get a picture of the inside bit

Do you remember how many marks the capacitance energy q was right at the beginning of the written paper?

You'd probably need a high A if not an A* to be honest... it'll be tight- plus you might have done better in unit 4 that you think

maybe 3? there are 3 substantial steps so thats my guess.... but it is just a guess

Sorry but no actually, F=EQ and E=V/d so F=VQ/d. So it would have been the reciprocal graph. The electric field strength is constant, not the force
wha gwarn and salah malekum hit mans up wiv some flux linkage to the unofficial mark scheme if uz know what man means

F = EQ. If E is constant, as you said, so is F

It was a uniform field mate, E is constant and so F is constant, it was a ppq

Um actually have no clue wtf you're saying
