Can someone post a link or any worksheet or anywhere I can practise moles from other than chem pastpapers?
Thankyouu

I actually dont remember fully. :/
Take a look here :http://michellebiology.blogspot.com/2012/02/58-fermenter.html
and fro rveision check this:http://igbiologyy.blogspot.com/2012/12/25-use-of-microorganisms-and-fermenter.html
hope that helps

Thankyou so much both :')

Also, cathode ray oscilloscope and the entire chapter of electronics is a nightmare and with just a month left idk how to study this chapter

There isn't much in electronics really. You aren't doing digital logic circuits , are you? cause its optional.
Basically just know resistors, little bit of diode (allows current to flow in one direction only) , light emitting diode (LED emits light + diode function) and capacitor (stores charge and is thus used in time delay circuits). There is one important question for capacitor , I don't remember which year but it was variant 21. It was difficult.

CRO just consists of a number of components:
1) electron gun - has a filament connected to a power supply. The filament heats up emitting electrons due to thermionic emission. An anode in front attracts the electrons and helps them to speed up.
2)Deflecting plates - There are two, voltage can be applied to deflect electrons. X-plates are used to control the electron beam's horizontal deflection and Y-plates are used to control vertical deflection.
3)Fluorescent screen - coated with a salt which lights up when hit by electrons.

CRO can be used to measure voltage. Connect the wires to Y-input terminal and observe the trace formed on the screen.
Timebase can be adjusted to make the trace formed wider or shorter.
When it is off a single spot will be seen on the screen. The spot moves up when a positive voltage is applied and down when a negative voltage is applied. Turning on the time base makes the spot turn into a horizontal line. If an ac current is applied a wave will be formed when time-base is on.

Just do maximum pastpaper questions and you'll be fine.
Good Luck!

Thankyouu so muchh:'))
This was surely helpful and consoling:')
No no I'm leaving the optional section out
I know diodes resistor and LED
And after this post CRO sounds simple too, thankss;'))
Can you elaborate transistor and capacitor the same way too please, I'd be thankful and goodluck to youu too!

 

[smiling star]

Please anyone can you solve this one ASAP!thanks

Its a D. Working : Use formula Temp=(L@-L0/l100-l0)x Range and if you are confused by this see it in your book under the topic of temperature.
Then we have to identify the variables L0=2 and l100=22 and if we apply the formula it looks like this

Oh so that's how it's done, thanks a bunch bro
Can you guide me a bit in physics though?

Sorry for the late reply , I'm not really that active on these forums.
Transistors (as far as I know) are not included in our syllabus.
For capacitors , I don't know too much but I can tell a little on what I know.
Generally capacitors are used in time delay circuits as mentioned before. Especially in household alarms. The alarm is switched on and the capacitor starts storing charge. This causes a time delay since the alarm doesn't go off until the capacitor is fully charged and then discharged. The delay allows the house keeper to leave the house in time before the alarm gets activated.
When the circuit switch is closed , the potential difference across the capacitor increases slowly, the capacitor charges at a decreasing rate to a maximum value. It is then ready to sound the alarm when it is triggered by discharging.

Hope this helps, if anyone has extra info please add it since I also want to know more about this topic.
Good Luck!

Yeah sure I was doing the same paper when you posted that question.

Alright thankyouu :')
What exactly are time delay circuits though?
Are you appearing this year too for phys?

Circuits in which there is a delay, before current starts flowing, like the alarm you don't want it to go off immediately after setting it when you still haven't left your house.
Yeah appearing for May/June 2016 English,Math D, Physics , Chem,Bio

Oh thanks I find capacitors easy now Alhamdulillah :')
Samee here
So how are you revising in April
Everyone's telling me to stick to pastpapers but there are topics that I need to further strengthen and with just less than a month left :/

Well, I am done with all pastpapers from 2005 - 2015 for Sciences. Currently I'm doing Maths 2015 papers. I guess I will focus on English now and read topics again from the book especially for Bio. It is best to switch to the book now if you are done with pastpapers.

Ohh well its quite the opposite for me
Are you done with all pastpapers including Atps?
I'm done with bio books and notes just left with one chapter of drugs and I've done somewhat topical pp I'll now start yearly pastpapers from 2015 and go backwards
Will do same in every subject as in phys and chem
And I need to do atps too but I'll do atps when I'm done with my theories atleast 5 years
As for math addmath I've been doing topical pastpapers but I'll start yearly from today
I'm worried for English though, Idk how to study for that

Yep done with everything including Atps.
Yeah English worries me as well. I have strange problem in English. I can't come up with good stories. My stories suck but everything else is good. I just go blank sometimes when trying to come up with a nice story.
Are you appearing for both Maths and Ad-maths? Oh and in Maths, do you find the number sequence questions frustrating. I was doing 2015 p12 Q.24 and it took really long.
Btw , If you have any useful notes on drugs , micro-organism , locomotion etc that you can give easily , it would be a great help.
Good luck!

Can you give me tips for atps like when should I start and how many years and what's the pattern etc
They freak me out
Esp cause I'm way behind in theories too I mean I haven't started practising p2 yet except in chem
Yes both math addmath
No number sequence is quite easy practise their topic wise pp you'll get the hang of it and you'll realise it won't take your much time in the end either
I haven't started drugs yet
I did microorganisms from lam peng book and locomotion for Ron pickering check those out
And you can specify which topics of these you find difficult I'll try my best to explain
Goodluck to youu too!
Btw how are you juggling between phys bio and chem as in one subject per day or what's your technique since it's stressful for me to manage all three :/

Atps shouldn't be too much trouble. Weightage is low for atps. Do as many papers as you can but it would be wiser to focus more on p2. Finish P2 first since Atp is a little general. There is a graph in each , for Bio sometimes drawing. Mostly about how you can improve investigations. For Chem just know salts, moles and the rest is easy. Physics is quite general. Shouldn't be a problem if you have done p1 and p2.
Well these days Im finishing maths but earlier I used to do what I liked. Basically I made sure I did equal of each for example if I was on 2010 in Chem , I would do till 2010 for Physics and Bio too before starting 2011 for Chem.
I'll ask in a few days , when I start revising Bio
Are you doing variants too ? (papers 11 , 21)
