Sorry I have no idea how to reply to just your message 'flexee'.

245nm


Wasn't it 236nm? :confused:

Well ****. I used the crap they gave us too but added you could always add an Ammeter and thermometer to measure the temperature.


I thought that at first, but then you've got too many measurements to put on a graph - current, voltage and temperature. So I omitted the ammeter :tongue:

for 2e i swear you could still must weak interaction and a W^+/-


It has to be Electromagnetic and virtual photons. Protons do not interact with eachother through the weak, they decay through the weak.

****s gonna get thick again if this paper has high grade boundaries

Easy paper, although the style of questions was a bit different


I^2R


Finally, someone who agrees! Everyone had been complaining it was difficult and I thought it was quite average - as did most of my friends.

Was it 654, 236 or 245 - I'm confused
What did everyone get as the answer in eV?

It was average and then the final 9 marks were very difficult.

For the question where you had to calculate the energy in eV, does anyone remember the wavelength that they gave us? It was in nanometers.

278nm :smile:

It was pretty freaking easy, I can only think of 2 marks I dropped.
Unless they don't have a range of values for the power question >: (I used 1.9W and 0.8ohms, so my I and V are different.)

It was 254nm

Do you think I'll at least get two marks for saying, "repeat the experiment for repeated measurements and the.tabulate the results and plot an I-V graph and the resistance is then 1/gradient."?

Why are you talking about R and I? We weren't measuring that.

Well, 6 marks down the drain then

Maybe for repeat the experiment, but you can't draw an I-V curve because the graph is pd over temperature

What was your answer to last question first part?

What was the significance of the critical temperature? Is it necessary to put uses or can you just say what it is?
How to define resistivity? Is 'resistance of a material for given dimensions' + equation good?
And do you think I would get the marks for saying R in q7 was to avoid short circuit?

Thanks :smile:


When a superconductor is cooled below its critical temperature, it has zero resistance.
Resistivity is the resistance of a material per metre length and crossectional area of 1m^2. (I think you'll get full marks for what you wrote).
Resistor R in q7 was to act as a potential divider. Without resistor R the p.d across the thermistor would have been the emf of the battery (constant)
Hope this helps :smile:

Where on Earth did you get that number? It was definitely 254nm.

:/ As above, you may get a couple for saying repeat measurements.
