Sample questions
The photograph shows an electronic ‘fly zapper’ racquet. The racquet has two metal meshes. When a fly is between the meshes, the user presses a button and a potential difference (p.d.) of 1500V is applied between the meshes for a short time. This p.d. causes a current in the fly,…
A student investigating capacitors uses the circuit shown. The capacitor is initially uncharged. When the switch is closed, there is a current in the circuit and the capacitor charges. The resistance of the variable resistor is adjusted as the capacitor charges in order to mainta…
The photograph shows a digital coulombmeter which measures electric charge. The charge the coulombmeter is measuring is stored on a capacitor inside the meter. A voltmeter inside the coulombmeter measures the potential difference across the capacitor. This value is converted so t…
