physics p6....

[chocolate brown ooooh]

lucky girls.....u got good 6 sense

haha...thanks .......i knew my teacher would give from there as at that time,the questions were not open to us(students).but they were uploaded on media fire

 

[saaeed]

please is there's any body have the old physics past paper !!!!

Minimising heating effect of a current:
• Lower current
• Lower voltage
• Add a lamp
• Increase resistance of a resistor

To increase accuracy of ray diagrams
• View bases of pins since pins may not be vertical
• Keep pins further apart
• Use more pins
• Avoid parallax, explain action and reason
• Repeats and average

Adjustments made to experiments will be made to increase accuracy

Improvement made to experiments about heating effect and insulation
• Lids
• Repeats
• Stirring
• Record max. Temperature
• Add insulation
• Keep constant room temperature
• Avoid heat loss

How to check if a rule is vertical:
• Protractor
• Use of set square
• Plumb line
• Spirit Level

Precautions taken in experiments about formation of images by a lens
• Use a darkened area
• Meter ruler on bench or clamped
• Object and lens same height on bench
• Mark on lens holder to show centre of lens
• Take more readings
• Avoid parallax error, explain action and reason
• Lens\screen perpendicular to bench

Variables in experiments about springs and stretching effect:
• Number of coils
• Length of spring
• Diameter\thickness of spring or wire
• Range of loads
• Length of wire
• Coil spring

Periodic time (T) is measured by timing a number of oscillations, then divide by the time taken.

Drawing graphs:
• Label axis
• Choose a proper scale
• Well judged best fit line
• Thin and neat lines

Measuring the gradient:
• Draw a triangle on graph
• Use clear lines
• Triangle must be larger than half the line

Sources of error in calculating circumference by string method:
• Parallax
• Diagonal winding
• Thickness of string

Improvement made to calculating circumference by sting method
• Avoid parallax error
• Repeats and average
• Thinner string
• Parallel winding of springs
hope this helps...

best of luck!!!

are u sure about increasing the resistance for minimising the heating effect of current?????

 

[purplerox]

are u sure about increasing the resistance for minimising the heating effect of current?????

ummm...i dont noe...i will check it out..nd tell it 2 u asap..!!
dont worry..!!

here r some notes.......

And you'll do fine for paper 6 learn all the 5 topics experiments precautions.

Physics laboratory safety precautions / rules:

* Live wires should not be touched.

* Hot Objects should not be touched with barren hands instead of that gloves should be used the most common process is heating of water in thermodynamic experiments.
* Circuit connections should be checked and approved by the teacher and then only the circuit should be switched ON.
* While changing components of the circuit the power should be switched so that one should not experience electric shocks.
* Safety spectacles, gloves and other safety components should be used while handling experiments.
* While handling a mercury thermometer one should take of the mercury spills.
* No other laboratory instruments should be touched or handled which is not involved in the course of experiments.
micrometer : can measure the thickness of any small thing to 0.01 mm
vernier : can measure the inner and outer wall of anything to 1.05mm
Control Variables
Precautions
Units ( eg.. voltage is V etc. ) cause the units hold 1 mark of the question
Statements & justification
The rest are calculations and measurements
To produce more accurate or reliable results:
• Repeat experiment, to calculate average reading.
• Avoiding parallax error, look perpendicular to the ruler.
• If accuracy in measurement was asked, check for zero error.
Improvements that could be done to the experiment (temp. cooling):
• Same initial temperature.
• Same volume of water.
• Same shape of beaker.
• Beakers of same surface.
• Same room temperature.
• Stirring the water in the beakers.
• Same time intervals.
• Same surface area. (Unless given different containers)
• Adding water or cooling effect at regular intervals.
Heat loss could be reduced by:
• Insulation of beaker.
• Covering beaker with a lid.
For 2 values to be directly proportional,
• The graph of the values must be a straight line from the origin.
• As value 1 increase, value 2 increases.

For images produced from lenses on screens, precautions taken:
• Use of a darkened room for the experiment.
• Avoiding parallax error in measurement, and look perpendicular to the ruler.
• Object and lens at the same height from bench.
• Object/lens/screen is perpendicular to the bench.
To draw an image created from lens:
• Inverted from the original object.
• Sides are multiplied by the magnification.
*If values have difference by 0.1 or 0.01, that is the limit of experimental accuracy, so answers are about the same.
For spring extension experiment, variables that should be constant in the experiment:
• Number of coils.
• Diameter of spring.
• Selection of loads.
• Mass of spring.

Nice tyvm and goodluck with ur exam

 

[chocolate brown ooooh]

Nice tyvm and goodluck with ur exam

thanks....are u done with ur exam?

 

[taffycandy]

which topics experiments precautions are you speaking about???
