Do we have to know how to calculate internal resistance in the unit 3B, if yes can someone tell me how

you just have to know the formulas cuz they might ask you to change it into the form y = mx +c

but the formuls for Internal resistance it    e = IR +Ir

e => emf
I => current
R=> load /external resistance
r => internal resistance

that's it.

2009 June 7 a) I get the question but in the MS they said "comment on liquid level" what do they mean :O ?

is for you to comment on how you would find the distance of the liquid from the ground.

what I wrote ; find the liquid level from the top of the bench and subtract readings obtained "SA" and "SB"


I hope I helped.

Does anyone know how to choose the best setting for a multimeter?? I saw a question in 2010 paper 3b and one in 2011 jan paper 3b...unfortunately i didnt know how to solve them both, they were the first question in multiple choice

I had the same question..its on the last page..

But anywayz

May '10 Q.1

first of all find total resistance = 100 + 10 = 110 ohms

then calculate the current using formula I = V/R = 3v / 110 ohms = 0.0272

multiply it by 1000 , you'll get 200 mA  hence answer is C

Jan '11 Q.1

same as above .. total resistance = 110 ohms  , V = 3 , I = 3/110 = 0.0273 A   

then find V across R {100 ohms } ....V = 0.027 * 100 = 2.7v

hence the one that BEST fits is B that is the 20v

I think u can do it that way too..It works

But i do it the other way as my teacher told me..

For eg if u have these values 0.20, 0.18, 0.19

I would do it like:

Find the avg. which i get as 0.19

and then the greatest difference is 0.20 - 0.19 = 0.01
So i get my uncertainty that is +/- 0.01

But u can do it that way too i guess...Jst do the way u find it easy.. :D
And Good Luck Everyone  :D

Guys how was your physics unit 3B? How did you plan out your experiment?

Uncertainty and a bit of the thermistor were -______-"
The apparatus not in the diagram.. I had everything on my diagram :S

Yeah i did not know how to find the uncertainty, and my refractive index was weird ><
Lol what apparatus did you use for the thermistor question..?
