Wanderer i was thinking we go from 2012 backwards, and people can post diagrams, since these i believe are pretty confusing......
whatever the case, i don't mind it either way, as long as we get moving :)

is quoting ranges necessary ?

but i know an analouge ammeter can have 0 to 4 A

I guess they give you a mark for quoting the ranges as part of the 'additional details'....
I guess appropriate ranges for an ammeter could be 0-20mA....0-200mA.....0-10A...depends on the type of experiment
For voltmeter,an appropriate range could be 0-15 V:)

Yeah, I'll have to borrow my sister's camera to take the pic !
I dont know if they will appear good :s

But which one you prefer? Shall I sketch one on PAINT ?

I don't mind it either way, as long as the diagrams can be understood :)

This diagram is for JUNE10/52 Q1
A friend and I worked it out:)View attachment 27736

Hey for this diagram, does the hall probe have to be positioned differently from the way you've done it?
I think it has to be perpendicular to the magnetic field direction right? Or am i confusing something? :unsure:

Oh and could you please explain, the points from the ms where it says "determine the axis of the coil" ( in the measurements to be taken section), and also, the parts where the ms states "keep the probe along the axis" (in the additional detail section) please?

Thank you :)

June 2003 P5 Question 2

Procedure : 1 . The experiment is set up as shown. Radium source is used since it has a very long half life. As the experiment is performed in a short time interval, there will be no change in count-rate due to decreasing activity of the source.
2. Initially, the radium source is removed and background countrate is measured (Cb) at a given p.d
3.The radium source is placed at a fixed distance 'd' from the aluminium sheet and the countrate is measured. Several values of the countrates are measured and the average value is calculated so as to minimise the effect of the random nature of emission. The true countrate, C, is obtained by subtracting the background countrate(Cb) from the measured countrate.
4. The source is removed, the p.d is changed and recorded. The new background countrate is measures and recorded. The source is then placed at the same distance from the G.M tube and the new countrate is measured and recorded.
5. Aluminium sheet is used as an absorber of alpha and beta particles. Thus, the countrates recorded are due to gamma rays only.

Safety precautions :
1. The source is handled using a pair of tongs.
2. Te source is stored in a thick lead lined box when not in use.
3. Care should be taken no to look directly into the source.

How to calculate the uncertainties in the Q2 in T^2 ?

Wanderer

or any one having P5 .... thanks alot :D :)



you multiply the uncertainty in T by 2, divide this by the value of T, and then multiply the whole thing by the value of T^2.

eg, if the value of T=0.35, on squaring this you obtain 0.12
The uncertainty in T is say, 0.01.
So, you do,
(2 x 0.01/0.35) x 0.12

thank you ... for example if we have like this ? wat should we do ?

it Q2 (b) - the table

thanks again :)
