Meh. Left 4 marks, and pretty sure I got 3 wrong. So 7 marks gone. I don't even know how many I got wrong. I might get in the 30s this time, max.

30s max??? why?
I used pi r squared to do the volume of the spheres fml
and the L1 question I forgot about the internal resistance

I didn't even consider internal resistance. tbh, I didn't use any numerical figures to answer the L1/L2 questions :/

You shouldnt, but you should realise battery now supplies more current, aka more lost volts, aka lower terminal pd, so lower pd across L1, so lower current. I said no effect because i didnt consider that. Everyone i know did it like me and we thought we are all correct then I had a thats so raven flashback and ruined the mood for everyone
why didnt i think of it during the exam fml

3 man!!!!
it was like a) was like whys the terminal pd not 12 (2 marks) here you would say cos of lost volts
then b)i) switch 2 is closed, what happens to current in L1 (2 marks) here you say terminal pd decreases so less current
b)ii) what happens to resistance of L1 (1 mark) no effect

So I lost 2+1=3.

You are talking about 2nd electricity question?

Threshold surely has to be on the floor for this one? Can't see more than 35-37 when so many found it difficult and how harsh the time was for the length and difficulty of the paper.

I'm pretty happy with how it went - I found it easy, a bit confusing and testing, but I found it easy if you didn't factor the time - the time was a serious pain though but I just about finished on time.

I'm worried about the Voltage across AB one - I got the correct answer but I think I used a different method.

Rest was very good thankfully.

it was 4V pd
then what happens to Vab ----> it increases
it doesnt matter how you got it
