Anglo-Chinese School (Barker Road) Preliminary Examination 2024 2 Secondary 4 Express Physics 6091 Paper 3 Section A 1 In this experiment, you will investigate an electric motor. You have been provided with • a battery • a switch • an ammeter • a length of resistance wire attached to a metre rule • an electric motor clamped to a stand • a piece of thin card • a voltmeter • connecting leads • a jockey Assemble the circuit shown in Fig. 1.1. Fig. 1.1 The jockey can be connected at different points along the length of the resistance wire. You are also provided with: • a load made from a 50 g mass hanger and three 50 g masses • an elastic band.

Anglo-Chinese School (Barker Road) Preliminary Examination 2024 3 Secondary 4 Express Physics 6091 Paper 3 Place the shaft of the motor through the elastic band and suspend the load from the elastic band. Put the piece of thin card onto the shaft of the motor, as shown in Fig. 1.2. Fig. 1.2 Tilt the motor very slightly, as shown in Fig. 1.3, to ensure that the elastic band does not slip off when the shaft of the motor is turning. Fig.1.3 Close the switch. Connect the jockey to the resistance wire. Adjust the position of the jockey until the shaft of the motor rotates as slowly as possible without stopping. The piece of thin card can help you judge when the motor starts to rotate.

V = ……………………………… I = ……………………………… [2] (b) Open the switch. Disconnect the jockey from the resistance wire. Calculate: (i) the power P input to the motor, using the equation P = V I P = ……………………………… [1] (ii) the ratio R of the potential difference to the current, using the equation R = V I . R = ……………………………… [1] (c) Remove one 50 g mass from the load. Close the switch. Connect the jockey to the resistance wire. Adjust the position of the jo
