Internal Resistance of a cell

Internal Resistance

Q 1,2 & 3 Look up the answers in your text books.

Q4       Total R = 2 + 5.5
            I =  1.5 V/Total R

            Pd across cell = pd across external R = I(5.5) = 1.1V

Q5       emf = 1.5V
            Lost volts = (1.5 – 1.2) V
Internal r = lost volts/0.30A = 1.0 ohm
External R = 1.2V/0.30A = 4.0 ohm

Q6       lost volts = 100A (0.04 ohm) = 4V
            Only 8V across external circuit so bulbs are dim

Q7       I=V/R= 1.25V/25 ohm = 0.05A
            Internal r = lost volts/I = 0.25V/0.05A = 5 ohms
            Total R with 10 ohm = 10 + 5 =15
            I = E/R = 1.5/15 = 0.1A
            V across terminals= V across 10 ohm R = 0.1A(10 ohm) = 1V

Ke of Satellite

Slight mistake here left an m out of the 1/2 GMm/r
oops - forgot to multiply by the 10kg for Ke so that should be 2.01 x 10^8 J
 and GPE is for 1km = 1000m so GPE = 0.402 x1000 = 402J

                                V = E/Q                 1 Volt = 1 Joule / 1 Coulomb
1.       Calculate the potential difference across a bulb if 20 C transfers 4 J of electrical energy.
V = 4 J /20 C = 0.2 V
2.       Calculate the emf across a dynamo if 600 J of energy is transferred by 25 C of charge.

4.       A train motor operates on a potential difference of 25 kV .Calculate the charge that transfers  800 kJ of electrical energy.
Q = E / V = 800000 J / 25000 V = 32 C
5.       A torch bulb runs off a cell of emf 1.5V Calculate the energy transferred by a charge of 0.27 C
E = V x Q = 1.5 V x 0.27 C = 0.41 J
A bulb takes a current of 0.25 A. How many Coulombs per second? 0.25 C per second It transfers 60W of powerHow many Joules per second? . 60 J per second

Calculate the emf of the supply. V = E ÷ Q = 60 / 0.25 = 240 V

Bobsleigh




Mark scheme for conical Pendulum

1 Explanation
There is a resultant (or net or unbalanced) force
􀀹
Plus any 3 of following:-
Direction of motion is changing 􀀹
Velocity is changing 􀀹
Velocity change implies acceleration 􀀹
Force produces acceleration by F = ma (or N2) 􀀹
Force (or acceleration) is towards centre / there is a centripetal
force (or acceleration) / no force (or acceleration) parallel to
motion
􀀹
No work done, so speed is constant 􀀹 Max
