Tell the person next to you…
1. If the field lines are close together, what does this tell you about the field?
2. If the field lines are widely spaced, what does this tell you about the field?
3. If the magnetic field lines are parallel to each other, what does this tell you about the field?

Answers
1. The field is strong
2. The field is weak
3. The field is of a constant strength - a "uniform" field

15:07
· 6.5 understand that magnetism is induced in some materials when they are placed in a magnetic field
· 6.3 recall the properties of magnetically hard and soft materials

Practical
1. Stroke a magnet along a steel bar and an iron bar
2. Try picking up some bar clips
3. Bang both bars on the desk
4. Now try picking up the paperclips again
5. Repeat the experiment but this time put the bars inside an electromagnet instead of stroking them

Explanation
· Steel is a magnetically hard material. It retains its magnetism when magnetised
· Iron is a magnetically soft material. It can be magnetised, but easily loses its magnetism

Question

You have 3 bars that all look the exactly the same but they are made from:
1. a magnet
2. steel
3. aluminium

You are given a horseshoe magnet. How can you use this to tell which bar is which?

Answer
1. The bar magnet will be attracted to one pole of the horseshoe magnet and repelled by the other
2. The steel bar will be attracted to both poles of the horseshoe magnet
3. The aluminium bar will be attracted to neither pole of the horseshoe magnet

Getting the most out of Past Paper Questions


· Step 1 = Blue Pen: Exam Conditions
o Complete the questions under exam conditions in Blue Pen. Exam conditions means in a quiet environment away from any disturbances, without looking up anything in your books. Treat it as if this is the real test. Allow yourself 1 mark = 1 minute as a time limit. This step allows you to practice your exam technique but it doesn't teach you anything new. It's important, but not as important as...


· Step 2 = Black Pen: Open Book
o Open your books and review all questions. Make any corrections and additions in Black Pen. The aim here is to get 100%. Still not sure? Use the internet or phone your friends! This step is extremely important because this is how you will learn new stuff and improve your mark so make sure you take your time and do it carefully and thoroughly.


· Step 3 = Red Pen: Mark your work
o Using the mark scheme, mark your work and correct all mistakes in Red Pen. If you've done a really good job of step 2 your corrections should be minimal. Ask your teacher for help if unsure.


· Step 4 = Learn from your mistakes
o All the stuff in Blue Pen that was correct you already know - don't waste any time revising it.
o All the stuff in Black Pen is stuff you understand but can't yet remember. Use active revision techniques such as Q+A flashcards/bullet point notes/mind mapping/etc to help you learn it.
o All the stuff in Red Pen shows problems with your understanding - ask your teacher for help.

Cloud formation
· Place a little water in the bottom of a 1½ litre plastic bottle
· Squeeze a few times
· Introduce a small amount of smoke
· Squeeze and release several times
· When you squeeze, the cloud disappears; when you release, the cloud reforms

Explanation
· When the pressure increases the temperature increases and vica versa
· The smoke particles are nucleating sites on which the water can condense

ANSWERS

Collins) p1/T1 = p2/T2 => 3/293 = p2/(273+55) => p2 = 3.4 bar

a) The pressure decreases, as temperature decreases.
b) As the temperature decreases, the average kinetic energy of the particles decreases, meaning that they move around with less speed, and with less energy. This means that they hit the walls of the rigid container with less force, and since the surface area of the container is still the same (rigid container), according to the p = F/A law, the pressure decreases with temperature. (pressure is prop. to temperature)

· 5.18 use the relationship between the pressure and Kelvin temperature of a fixed mass of gas at constant volume:

p1 / T1 = p2 / T2

Why do the eggs get sucked into the bottles?!

Explanation
· The burning paper in the bottle heats the air in the bottle
· When the egg gets placed on top, the oxygen supply in the bottle is rapidly depleted and the paper goes out
· The bottle is sealed by the egg and now has a constant volume of gas inside
· The hot gas in the bottle now starts to cool which reduces the pressure inside the bottle
· The pressure outside the bottle remains unchanged and so there is now an unbalanced force on the egg which accelerates the egg into the bottle

Answers
1. What variable remains constant for this experiment?

Volume


2. Explain in terms of the particles what happened to the pressure when the temperature increased

When the temperature is increased the particles have a greater average KE and therefore hit the walls of the container with more force and more frequently. This increases the pressure.


3. Is the temperature proportional to the average speed? Justify your answer

No; the graph is not a straight line

[cid:image001.png@01CCA052.32A52D30]


4. Is the temperature proportional to the average kinetic energy of the particles? Justify your answer

Yes; the graph of temperature against (average speed of particles)2 is a straight line.

[cid:image002.png@01CCA052.32A52D30]

NB: m, the mass of the particles is a constant and so will only affect the gradient of the graph, not the shape of the graph


5. Why is the word 'average' used?

The particles in the container have got a range of speeds and therefore a range of KEs. Some particles will be moving faster and some slower but, on average, T α KE.

You can view this in the programme. Click on "measurement tool", "energy histograms".
