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]

Set up the apparatus as shown in Fig. 2.1 Fig. 2.1 (a) (i) The long wooden rod should pass between the stand and the strings. The angle between the long wooden rod and the string supporting A is . Adjust the position of the long wooden rod so that  is approximately 60 and the rod is behind the mark on the string supporting A. The rod should be just touching both strings, with the strings hanging vertically. Measure and record .  = ........................................ [1] (ii) Pull A and B a short distance away from the long wooden rod. Keep the same separation between A and B. Release A and B at the same time. B first oscillates in phase with A, then out of phase, and then back in phase again. This takes n oscillations of B. Determine n. n = ........................................ [2]
