Its a instrument used to make sure a surface is horizontal/vertical.
A spirit level is this device:

GUYS Please solve Q5 a)
http://www.xtremepapers.com/papers/CIE/Cambridge IGCSE/Physics (0625)/0625_s06_qp_6.pdf

AND

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE ANSWER THIS QUESTION:

The three lamps are now connected in parallel with one another. Draw a circuit
diagram of the three lamps connected to the power supply. Include in your circuit
diagram
(i) an ammeter to record the total current through the lamps,
(ii) a variable resistor to vary the brightness of all three lamps,
(iii) a voltmeter to record the potential difference across the lamps.

AND
Question No. 1 b)

THANKYOUUU.




^^^PLEASE ANSWER THESE ONE"S TOO. white rose

can u repeat ur ques. pls
Well I wanted to ask about the best fit line graphs and straight line graphs, in some Questions the points are scattered and it says to make the best fit line so do we have to make a curve or straight line joining 3 points and leaving 2 behind ? it keeps puzzling me :/

help needed here!!
in O/N/08 ques 1 part d the answer is supposed to be greater fer bth i and ii
shouldnt it b same as the material is of the same mass and so it'll obv have the same weight and extension therefore will be same? :/

Centre of mass experiment (with the lamina): How to minimize inaccuracy when marking the lines : you view the string directly in front of card.

Why angle i is NOT equale to angle r in ray experiment:

- thickness of pins
-thickness of mirror
-protractor is not precise

In an experiment to do with the cooling of water, there are certain things which must be kept the same:

- initial temp.
-thickness of test-tubes ( more heat lost when thinner etc.)
-vol. of water
-thickness of cotton wool
-depth of the thermometer in the water
-avoid droughts


Examples of insulators that you can wrap things with:
-bubble wrap
-fiberglass
Styrofoam is a good insulator , however you cannot wrap it around things as it breaks easily.

inaccuracy of ray box method: thickness of rays.
inaccuracy of pin method: pins not straight, or too close, or thickness of lines drawn.

Symbol for extension is 'x' or 'e'.

A ruler is called a 'rule'.

ALWAYS ROUND TO 3.SIG.FIGS.

To improve accuracy, put pins in the light ray experiment FURTHER APART to avoid parallax error. So, I I I is better than I I I (where I is the pins)

Precautions for circuit readings of I and V so that accurate:

For I specifically :
-limit current so that temp. doesn't increase
-use a tapping meter

For I and V: Switch off between readings.

θ this is the symbol for Celsius temp. (theta)
T this is the symbol for Kelvin temp.

In light ray experiment, lengths are in mm.


Fair test for pendelum experiments:
-length of pendelum
-shape of bob
-no. of swings
-amplitude

If a statement is 'directly proportional', the justification would always be , ''straight line that goes through the origin''.

If you're comparing the extensions of springs of different materials, certain things have to be the same:
-the cross-section of the springs
-the length of the springs
-the room temperature


How to reduce the heating effect of current:

-Add a variable resistor
-reduce current
-reduce voltage or power
-switch off between readings

Precautions for focal length experiments:
-do it in a darkened room
-clamp ruler to bench
-avoid parallax error when reading the lengths
-make sure that the obejct/lense/screen are all perpendicular to bench.
-and of course, repeats.

A question one came up and asked to draw a diagram of a load on a ruler on a pivot. Well, this meant that the ruler was unbalanced, and so this means that when you draw it, you must show that the ruler is tilted.

DON'T FORGET TO WRITE DOWN THE UNITS AFTER EACH ANSWER!!!

An important precaution for spring experiments is to wait for the spring to stop moving and then record the length.
