It was 8 micro farads but if you put the number 8 as the answer it was right because the symbol was micro farads.


thanks man you saved me from a panic attack just now

got this but I got RC=28s? 45/-ln(0.2)


I got 28 seconds too :biggrin:

What points did you use on the graph? Since it was gradient I did the differences between two points. I got 8 micro farads.


was volt or q on y axis

It was Q on the y axis. I remember using 10.5 and 10 volts in the x axis for the gradient.

i used 3 volts diff and charge diff like 35x10-6
Anyone remember the resistance calculation? I got 28 has the time constant, was it 28/(406x10^-6) or something?

Think I used for charge 86 and 82 (micro) and for volts 10.5 and 5, got 8 micro farads.

will there be a range, i tried to use biggest bit of graph possible, i cant see where i went wrong

Would I still get marks for describing a graph with L against T^2 instead of T^2 against L and with the equations rearranged appropriately?

did anyone get the time constant in 1c to be 201.6 something?
Also, has there been any sort of unofficial mark scheme yet

What grade/ums will 62/63 most probably be ?

If you go off the fact most people found it slightly easier than last year's paper then maybe 115-117 UMS? Last year 62/63 was within the CAP I think

If your rearranging is correct then yes.

I think people who used V = 0.8V0 instead of V = 0.2V0 got 200 seconds.
will i get a mark for plating t with square root of l?

yh i used 0.8Vo. Which one would be right, they cant both be can they

Yeah, if you correctly stated how to find g from your gradient.

I have the multiple choice paper: I'll post the answers on here in a bit

Can you make a separate thread so it doesnt get lost in here?

It had decreased by 80% so V = 0.2V0. :frown:
