1. Table 1 shows the relationship between the temperature, T, of the measuring junction of a
thermocouple and the thermocouple emf, E, that is measured by a millivoltmeter.

Thermocouple emf Elm V 0.1 0.4 0.7 1.0 1.4 1.8

Temperature TOle 44 118 163 202 247 293

Use the values in the table to plot E against T. Draw your BEST straighfline.
(10 marks)

Use your straight line graph to determine To ' the temperature at which the
thermocouple emf E = O.

(ii) Use your straight line graph to determine, Ex' the thermocouple emf when
T = 200°C

(iv) Determine the difference between the experimental value as given in Table 1 and
that obtained using the formula in Part (iii), and explain the significance of this
difference.

(v) Compare a thermocouple and a laboratory mercury in glass thermometer in terms


of (i) range (ii) speed of response (iii) sensitivity.

(b) A generator and a battery of secondary cells are connected through an ammeter as shown
in the circuit of Figure 1.

(ii) Show, on the diagram, the polarity of the ammeter for it to properly measure the
current ( 1 mark)
(c) A calculator battery of terminal voltage 3 V supplies a current of 0.1 mA to the calculator
circuit.

Write down the formula that defines the moment of a force, giving the meaning of EACH
symbol and the unit in which it is usually expressed.
(c) Security guard posts in the Caribbean are usually equipped with a boom and counterweight
arrangement as shown in Figure 2. It allows the security guard to use a relatively small
force to raise the heavy boom.

(e) Use the results of (c) (i), (ii) and (d) above to find the mass of the counterweight that must
be used if FA = 25 N is just enough to start raising the boom. ( 3 marks)
(b) Figures 3 and 4 below are representations of current-carrying conductors. Sketch the
magnetic field associated with the conductor in each of the cases described below

(ii) The conductor is tightly wound into a solenoid carrying current in the directions
indicated
(c) A flat coil is connected to a small bulb and a diode. The assembly fixed in position near
a current-carrying solenoid is shown in Figure 5 below.

(i) What will be the effect on the magnetic flux inside the flat coil if the current
through the solenoid is steadily increased?
(iii) If the diode is removed so that the flat coil is connected to the bulb alone, indicate
by use of a tick ('./) which of the following effects will cause the bulb to glow
more brightly.

EFFECT YES NO

Increasing the number of


turns on the flat coil

Placing a piece of soft iron


in the core of the solenoid

Decreasing the rate of change


of the current through the
solenoid
State the nature of the unbalanced force which is responsible for circular motion in the
following:
(b) A small bob of mass 0.2 kg is attached to a string oflength 0.5 m and whirled in a vertical
circle with a speed of 2.5 m/s as in Figure 6.

A
Bob in position A

B
Bob attached to string

(i) Indicate on the diagram the forces acting on the bob when it is in position C.
(2 marks)

(iv) If the. string is released when the bob is at C, what is the tension immediately
after the release of the string?
