11 hours
1. You MUST use this answer booklet when responding to the questions. For each question, write
your answer in the space provided and return the answer booklet at the end of the examination.
2. ALL WORKING MUST BE SHOWN in this booklet, since marks will be awarded for correct
steps in calculations.

(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

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?
