Electricity SAT Answers 5-7

1.(a) switches 1 and 2 if more than one box is ticked, 1


award no mark
(b) no because switch 1 must be on or closed 1
both the answer and the reason are required
for the mark
accept ‘there is no switch in the motor
section of the parallel circuit, so it cannot be
isolated’
(c) it would go up accept ‘it would get hotter or very hot’ 1
do not accept ‘it would be hot’
(d) any one from 1
 no effect accept ‘the motor speeds up slightly’
 it would stay on
[4]

2. (a) (i) circuit A: series 1


circuit B: parallel
both answers are required for the mark
(b) (i) the circuit or heating element will stop working 1
accept ‘it will not work’ or ‘it will be off’
accept ‘the whole circuit has no current through it’
accept ‘it becomes cooler’
do not accept ‘it breaks the heater or element or it’
(ii) any one from 1
 the circuit or element will continue to work
 one wire will not heat the window
accept ‘the bottom one has no current through it’
‘nothing’ or ‘it will not be affected’ are insufficient
accept ‘it will work less well’
accept ‘the bottom wire becomes cooler’
do not accept ‘it becomes cooler’
do not accept ‘it does not work properly’
(c) (i) thermal accept ‘heat’ 1
(ii) from solid to liquid to gas 1
all three states are required for the mark
accept ‘from solid to liquid to vapour or steam’
accept ‘from ice to water to vapour or gas’

3. (a) one mark for B and C in series 1
one mark for A in parallel with B and C 1
for example

B
both marks should only be awarded if the
circuit is correct
award one mark if all three bulbs are drawn
in parallel or all in series
(b)  A 1
any one from
 it has more current passing accept ‘the others have less current passing
through it through them’
 A has 3 V across it and B accept ‘A has a greater voltage across it’
and C have 1.5 V across them accept ‘B and C have less voltage across them’
 A has twice the voltage of B or C accept ‘there is less resistance in the top or A
branch of the circuit’
 because it is directly connected accept ‘the others are in series’
to the supply
both the letter and the reason are required
for the mark
answers should convey the idea that energy
or voltage is shared between B and C but A
is not sharing energy or voltage
(c) a letter S in any part of the circuit before it branches

S
A

accept a letter S in any part of the circuit if


the three bulbs are drawn in series
[4]

4. (a) any two from: 2


 manufacturing differences or bulbs are different
accept ‘different resistances’
accept ‘different ages’
 reading error
 dirty contactsaccept ‘bulbs were not screwed in
properly’
 unreliable or inaccurate meter accept ‘faulty

ammeter’
accept ‘different wires’ or ‘differences in the
wires’
(b) 0.75 1
(c)

c u rr e n t,
in a m p s

tim e , in h o u r s

both axes must be labelled correctly with


both the variable and the unit
Y axis : current, in amps or A or milliamps or mA 1
accept ‘I , in amps’
X axis : time, in hours or minutes or seconds
accept ‘t, in hours’
a line or curve from top left to bottom right 1
[5]

5. (a) (i) iron 1


(ii) iron or steel 1
(b) (i) any three from 3
 current flows in the coildo not accept ‘the circuit is
completed'
 the core becomes magnetised
accept ‘the coil becomes an electromagnet'
or 'the electromagnet is turned on'
 the armature is attracted
 the armature pushes the contacts together
do not accept ‘the contacts come together'
(ii) the answer must show an understanding that the contacts remain closed
because current continues through the contacts 1
or because the contacts keep the circuit complete
accept ‘the contacts are in parallel with the
switch' or ‘the contacts stay shut' do not
accept ‘there is a complete circuit' or 'the
current still flows'
