(a) P=V^2/R
R=V^2/P = (240)2/(1.5 x 10^3)
=38.4 ohms

(b)
when the powers r in series then we will add their reciprocals n when they r in parallel then we will add their values...
1. there will be no current so no power will generate
2. when S2 is closed then current will choose the low resistance path n will only flow through one heater.. so 1.5kW
3. all of them r closed.. no current is passing through B.. so we will simply add the powers that r in parallel with eachother.. 3 kW
4. the current is passing through A and B... so we will add the reciprocals of the powers n the ans will be 0.75 kW
5. Current is passing through all the heaters so... 0.75 + 1.5 = 2.25 kW
MashAllah :)!

May/June 2011 Paper-23 6.(b) and c.(iv)...
Can anyone please draw the graphs of the waves and
Explain ASAP!!
the peaks are curved not pointy like the one i've drawn in diagram 1....
for progressive wave the shape doesn't chnge...
for stationary after T/4 the wave becomes straight

Can u explain the stationary wave thing with a bit detail.

Well power = rate of work done / energy consumed / energy lost
Here they are asking for which has higher rate of energy loss.
So if you have drawn the curve of component R.
You will notice that P.d (V) across C is much greater than R, at any given current.
And if you remember P = IV, thus Power for C is higher than R.
Thus the energy lost (dissipated) is higher in C than R.

But isn't the resistance of C decreasing with voltage? Why would the PD through it be greater than in R? Also, isn't the current through R constant? Why would there be a 'curve' for R?

If it says .25T then phase difference will be 45 degree?

please can someone explain the following questions as soon as possible. thnx in advance and please can u draw diagrams where necessary. thnk u very much.

1) 4b iv from papers.xtremepapers.com/CIE/Cambridge%20International%20A%20and%20AS%20Level/Physics%20(9702)/9702_w11_qp_23.pdf

2) 4b iii from papers.xtremepapers.com/CIE/Cambridge%20International%20A%20and%20AS%20Level/Physics%20(9702)/9702_w12_qp_21.pdf

3) 5b and 5c from papers.xtremepapers.com/CIE/Cambridge%20International%20A%20and%20AS%20Level/Physics%20(9702)/9702_w13_qp_22.pdf


4) 4b ii and 4b iii from papers.xtremepapers.com/CIE/Cambridge%20International%20A%20and%20AS%20Level/Physics%20(9702)/9702_w13_qp_23.pdf

Hey, for part b)

This is the key for this question: For minima to occur: Path difference= 0.5Lambda, 1.5 Lambda. 2.5 Lambda and so on...

If you look at the figure, you'll see that it's a right angled triangle, use paythagors theorem. You'll get S2M= 128 cm

Path diff= 128 - 100= 28 cm


Your range is from 1khz to 4 kHz

Use v= lambda x frequency
Speed = 330 m/s

Range of lambda= 8.25 cm to 33cm

Now, start trying, remember path diff= nlambda

So 28= 0.5 x Lambda, 56 not in allowed range
28= 1.5 x lambda, 18.6 allowed range
28= 2.5 x lambda , 11.2 allowed range

So 2 minima occur
Thanks so much I posted this several times and I got the answer from only you.(y)
