10.1 A learner sets up the circuit below to investigate the relationship between current and potential difference across the ends of a conductor. She closes the switch and records the ammeter and voltmeter readings. She repeats the experiment three times; each time she increases the number of cells in the circuit. Then she reads and … Read more

9.1 The diagram below represents a current-carrying conductor. Draw the magnetic field pattern around this conductor. 9.2 A solenoid with a radius of 5 cm and 350 turns is pulled out of a magnetic field of strength 5,20 T in 0,1 second. The solenoid is placed perpendicular to the magnetic field. 9.2.1 State Faraday’s law … Read more

Two identical point charges are placed 100 mm apart in a vacuum as shown below. The electrostatic force that Q1 exerts on Q2 is 5,09 N. 8.1 Draw the electric field pattern between the two charges. (3) 8.2 Calculate the magnitude of each charge. (4) 8.3 Calculate the net electric field at point P, as … Read more

A learner is investigating a certain phenomenon of light. He viewed red light through a single slit and observed the pattern that was formed on a screen. He repeated the experiment using blue light and observed the pattern on a screen again. 7.1 Name the phenomenon that the leaner is investigating. (1) 7.2 Draw separate … Read more

A light ray from a ray box is incident on a rectangular glass prism and the path of the incident ray and emergent ray was traced to obtain the diagram below. The refractive index of air and the refractive index of a glass are 1,00 and 1,52 respectively. 6.1 State Snell’s law in words. (2) … Read more

A satellite of mass 1 000 kg is orbiting the earth at a distance of 200 km from the surface of the earth as shown on the diagram below. 5.1 State Newton’s Law of Universal Gravitation in words. (2) 5.2 Calculate the magnitude of the force that the earth exerts on the satellite tokeep it … Read more

Two blocks of masses 1,5 kg and 3,2 kg are connected by a light inextensible string. A 24 N force is applied on a system of blocks to move them up an inclined surface which is 25 o to the horizontal at a CONSTANT VELOCITY as shown on the diagram below. The 1,5 kg box … Read more

A 250 N force is applied on a block of mass 25 kg. The 25 kg block is connected to a 10 kg block by a light inextensible string through a frictionless pulley as shown on the diagram below. The 250 N force acts at an angle of 25 o to the horizontal so that … Read more
