Paper 5 Notes

1. Use a short coil so that the induced voltage is constant. Measure the speed at the bottom using a motion sensor and timer between two fixed points. 2. Keep experimental conditions like magnet used, coil length, surface cleanliness constant to reduce variables. Place supports for tracks and coils. 3. Take multiple measurements and average results to reduce percentage uncertainty when measuring quantities like coil diameter.

1. Use short coil, so that (v) is constant.


2. Use same magnet
3. Length of coil / time = v. For small coil, v is constant
4. Cushion for falling body
5. Clean surface to reduce friction
6. ALign front or back of block to keep starting position same
7. Place a mass at the lower end to prevent slipping

8. Use supports for track/coil/plane


9. Measure diameter around the circumference and average
10. Use motion sensor with timer to determine (v) at the bottom. / 2 fixed points use light
gates with timer
11. Remagnetise magnet in a coil to vary B
12. Mass leaving plate => listen for noise, look for gap
13. 1 time period * time base
14. Large protractor to reduce % uncertainty
15. Amplitude * y-gain
16. Light sources of similar intensity (LED)
17. LED has wavelength (lambda) label
18. View with the same eye
19. Use clothes on floor to absorb the spilled water
20. Ear plugs to prevent ear damage
21. For turntable motor, variable power supply
22. For measuring B=> DC; For induction, AC
23. For determining centre, measure diameters and find POI
24. For horizontal => spirit level
25. For vertical => set square
26. Light experiment => keep intensity constant
27. Dark glass to prevent damage to eyes
28. Dark room
29. Use high intensity lamp
30. Distance constant
31. If water used, connecting must be waterproof
32. Laser can be used because high intensity and don’t spread
33. Calculations involving % uncertainty
34. Motion sensor - data logger
35. Light gates - Timer
36. Anemometer
37. Hall probe to C.R.O
38. Additional details => Magnetic field & coil
39. Use large current / N for larger magnetic field
40. Use rheostat for constant current
41. Calibrate Hall probe in known field
42. Repeat with Hall probe reversed and average
43. Hall probe at right angles to field
44. Fix Hall probe to rule to keep it perpendicular to field
45. Coil gets hot
46. Hall probe to control box
47. Keep current constant
48. For lg graphs do nothing, just use normal numbers

49.
50. Keep air speed constant/ power constant
51. Ensure that there are no other draughts/ air flows
52. Avoid moving blades
53. Keep distance constant
54. Turbine with low friction
55. Wait until air flow constant
