3 2024/JPJC/Prelim/9749/04 [Turn over 1 In this experiment, you will determine the resistivity of a metal. (a) Set up the circuit as shown in Fig. 1.1, using the resistor of resistance R = 68 . Fig. 1.1 Place the jockey on the wire about half -way along the metre rule. The distance between the end of the wire and the jockey is y, as shown in Fig. 1.1. Close the switch. Adjust the position of the jockey until the ammeter reading I is as close as possible to 121 mA. Record R, I and y. R = ........................................ I = ........................................ y = ........................................ [1] Open the switch.

4 2024/JPJC/Prelim/9749/04 (b) Vary R and adjust y each time so that I is always as close as possible to 121 mA. Present your results clearly. [3] (c) It is suggested that R and y are related by the expression: R Q R QyF=− I where I is your value from (a) and Q and F are constants. Plot a suitable graph to determine values of Q and F. Q = ........................................ F = ........................................ [8]
