Anyone got a rough list of potential topics that might come up tomorrow?

When attempting question on DC electricity. which direction of flow should we use in the exam? conventional or the true flow?

You can go with either, just the book says that you need to stick to the one you use. I think I'd go for electron flow.
june 2013 last question last part last page.. why on earth does the resistance decrease? from R=V/I r is inversely proportional so shouldnt resistance increase..

I've got a feeling there's going to be a ton on electricity tomorrow :frown:

Ohms law is only true for ohmic conductors at constant temperature. Here current alters temperature so normal rules don't apply. Lattice vibrations have an overriding effect.

no no no!!! always go with the conventional flow just think where an isolated positive charge would flow because you will need that in A2 !!!!
A2 is all about conventional flow because you will be applying rules which use conventional flow

Distance = Speed x Time = 0.24*10^-3 x 3.0*10^8 = 7.2*10^4. Remember this is the distance to the mirror AND back. Therefore the real distance is 7.2*10^4 / 2 = 3.6*10^4 !!

Same here, I've practised but it just doesnt seem to be enough :/

guys looking at unit 1, I predict that some sort of scale diagrams/drawings will come up in unit 2 too
and some big questions on electricity/ultrasound

Quite high boundaries!
And a lot of writing questions!!


I just this did, it was alright i guess. Whats were the grade boundaries? for an A?

54. Fairly average imo
jan 14 question 10 guys? please?

that one got me too, damn! But its easy if you think about it, the PD across terminals is the same as the PD across R. PD across R is given by Current * R, so (e/r+R) * R...

thanks alot :d

Yes sir my predictions and yours are similar. I predicted alot of electricity and the diagrams like emf, filament diagram. Ultrasound -pulses and spectra line so energy levels will come up hope we are right.

already preparing my petition for tomorrow's physics paper......:colone:

the answer is b because when you use the potential divider formula and you try to find the terminal voltage which is basically the voltage of the circuit and when you use the voltage of the circuit youll want to use the the resistance outside the battery so you rearrange to give the expression B
hope you understood it.. if not
