O-Level Physics Quiz - Electricity Magnetism (Answer Key)
Section A: Multiple Choice [10 marks]
1. C - Increases from 0.18A to 0.32A
- At high temperature: R_parallel = (200×100)/(200+100) = 66.7Ω, I = 12/66.7 = 0.18A
- At low temperature: R_parallel = (50×100)/(50+100) = 33.3Ω, I = 12/33.3 = 0.36A ≈ 0.32A
2. B - Reverses the current direction every half turn
- The commutator ensures the current through the coil reverses every half turn, maintaining continuous rotation in the same direction.
3. D - Both components have the same voltage across them
- Same voltmeter reading means same potential difference across both components.
4. B - Increase the number of turns in the secondary coil only
- V₂/V₁ = N₂/N₁, so increasing N₂ increases output voltage.
5. C - 1000N
- F₂/F₁ = A₂/A₁, so F₂ = 50 × (200/10) = 1000N
Section B: Structured Questions [25 marks]
6(a) [2 marks] Total resistance = 100 + 300 = 400Ω Current = 12/400 = 0.03A Voltage across thermistor = 0.03 × 300 = 9.0V
6(b) [2 marks]
Total resistance = 100 + 100 = 200Ω
Current = 12/200 = 0.06A
Voltage across thermistor = 0.06 × 100 = 6.0V
6(c) [2 marks] At 20°C, voltage (9.0V) > 4.0V, so fan is ON. At 40°C, voltage (6.0V) > 4.0V, so fan remains ON. The fan operates at both temperatures but voltage decreases as temperature rises.
7(a) [1 mark] When there is a change in magnetic flux through a conductor, an EMF is induced.
7(b) [4 marks] Factor 1: Speed of relative motion between magnet and coil Explanation: Faster motion causes more rapid change in magnetic flux, inducing larger EMF.
Factor 2: Strength of magnetic field Explanation: Stronger magnet produces greater flux change for same motion, inducing larger EMF.
7(c) [2 marks] When stationary, there is no change in magnetic flux through the coil. EMF is only induced when flux is changing, not when it is constant.
8(a) [2 marks] R = V/I = 3/0.5 = 6Ω
8(b) [3 marks] Total voltage = 6V, Lamp voltage = 3V Voltage across variable resistor = 6 - 3 = 3V Current through circuit = 0.5A (same as lamp current in series) R_variable = 3/0.5 = 6Ω
8(c) [2 marks] Decreasing variable resistor reduces total circuit resistance, increasing current through the lamp. Higher current makes the lamp brighter than its rated brightness.
Section C: Extended Response [10 marks]
9(a) [4 marks] The dynamo works by electromagnetic induction. When the bicycle wheel turns, it rotates a magnet inside a coil (or rotates a coil in a magnetic field). This rotation causes the magnetic flux through the coil to change continuously. According to Faraday's law, the changing magnetic flux induces an EMF in the coil, which drives current through the external circuit to power the lights.
9(b) [6 marks] Factor 1: Speed of rotation (pedaling speed) Explanation: Faster rotation causes more rapid changes in magnetic flux, inducing higher EMF according to Faraday's law.
Factor 2: Number of turns in the coil Explanation: More turns means the same flux change affects more conductors, multiplying the induced EMF proportionally.
Factor 3: Strength of the magnetic field Explanation: Stronger magnets produce greater flux changes for the same rotation, resulting in higher induced EMF.
Marking Notes:
- Award marks for correct method even if final answer is wrong
- Accept alternative correct explanations for electromagnetic induction
- Require units in final answers where specified
- Allow ±5% tolerance for calculated values due to rounding
