Large angle gives a longer time of flight for a given projection speed and hence
juggler has more time to manipulate balls.
[B1]
Large angle keeps (horizontal) range small and of the order of the natural distance
between the jugglers hands.

(e) The minimum distance between the two hands must be at least greater than the diameter
of the balls.

Otherwise, an upward moving ball will collide with a downward moving ball.

(a)
The gap between the STM probe tip and the sample surface acts like
a potential barrier to the electrons.
[B1]
When a pd is applied between the probe and the sample, there is a finite
probability that electrons can tunnel through this potential barrier
due to the wave nature of the electrons even though the electron does
not have sufficient kinetic energy.
The probability of tunneling is T e 2 kd where d is the width of the
potential barrier. Thus tunneling current varies exponentially with the
distance of gap d between the probe and the sample surface. As
probe scans across the surface, the distance d changes and the variation
in tunneling current can be detected and used to plot the topography of
the sample surface.

Question 8

Aim
The aim of this experiment is to investigate how the attractive force varies
with the distance x.
(Some students used another quantity instead of force, eg. Extension of
spring. In such cases, students need to elaborate on how this quantity is
related to the attractive force and justify in order to score this mark.)
Preliminary work
The attractive force can be measured by the formula
F = ke where e is the extension of the spring, which is given by e = L L0,
where L0 is the initial length of the spring when it is not stretched and L is the
length of the spring when it is stretched. The spring constant k can be
measured by
i) suspending the spring vertically from a retort stand. Its length is measured
using a meter rule Lo.
ii) attach a mass of 50g to the bottom of the spring and measure its new
length L.
iii) calculate the spring constant k from k = F/e = (0.050 )(9.81)/(L-L0)
(Calibration curves are acceptable but elaborations on how to get the data
for this curve and how to use it are necessary. Spring balance is also
acceptable as a means to measure the force directly, however, as with scale
instruments, need elaboration on zero error).
Control Variable
The current in the coil is to be kept constant. This can be done by connecting
an ammeter to the coil as shown in the following diagram.
(Good answers include how a rheostat is necessary to allow for adjustments
to the resistance in the circuit as a means of ensuring constant current.
Some students forgot to include a cell in the circuit diagram)
A4
A
A5
B3
The rheostat is first used to vary the resistance in the circuit and hence the
current. The current should be fixed at a value such that when x = 6.0 cm,
the extension in the spring is more than 1.0 cm. This is to ensure that values
of e recorded in the experiment are large enough such that it can be
measured with acceptable percentage error with a meter rule.
(students should elaborate that an acceptable range is one whereby
variations in data are not just realistic, but also measurable, according to the
resolution of the measuring instruments)
More batteries can be connected in series to increase the current until the
resulting change in e is large enough.

Hypothesis
Suppose the relationship between the attractive force F and the distance x is
expressed in power law,
F = cxn where c and n are constants to be determined.
lg F = n lg x + lg c
If we plot lgF against lgx, then a straight line will indicate that the relationship
is valid and the gradient is n and the y-intercept is lg c.
(some students neglect the interpretation of the gradient and vertical
intercept of the graph)
Procedure
a) Setup the apparatus as shown in Fig 1.1.
b) Use a meter rule to measure the length of the spring when it is
unstretched. Record this as L0.
c) Switch on the circuit to allow current to flow through the coil. Monitor
the ammeter to ensure that current is constant. Ensure that an
attractive force is exerted on the bar magnet by the coil (this occurs
when the spring is stretched). If there is a repulsive force instead,
switch the polarity of the battery in the circuit to reverse the direction
of current flow.
(Its important to include this step in verifying that an attractive force is
present and if not,elaborate on how one can rectify the problem)
d) Measure the distance between the magnet and the coil x. Also
measure the length of the stretched spring and record it as L.
e) Shift the magnet, together with the spring, corkboard and brick, for at
least 5 different values of x. For each x, record the new stretched
length of the spring L. Tabulate the data in the table below,
x /m L /m F =k(L-Lo)/N lg (x/m) lg (F/N)

(b)(ii)
When using optical pumping for a 2 levels laser, any incoming photon can cause simulated
absorption as well as stimulated emission.
[C1]
Initially most of the atoms are in the ground state, the incoming photons will cause more
stimulated absorption than stimulated emission.
[M1]
As more atoms become excited, the rate of stimulated emission will eventually increase until
it at most equals that of stimulated absorption, when the number of excited atoms is equal to
the number of ground state atoms. Thus it is very difficult to achieve population inversion.

The current in each turn of the coil of the spring produces a magnetic field that is
perpendicular to the current in the adjacent coil.
[B1]
Since the current in the adjacent spring coils is flowing in the same direction, by
Flemings left hand rule, an attractive force will be exerted on the coils towards each
other.
[B1]
The spring coils will move towards each other and the length (vertical) will shorten.
The change in the length of the spring is therefore a compression.

6c)(i) According to the Faradays law of Electromagnetic Induction, when the metal axle Y of the
truck first enters the magnetic field entry point P with an initial velocity, there will be an
induced electromotive force (emf) across the two metal wheels of Y whose magnitude is
directly proportional to the rate of change of magnetic flux linkage. The wheel on the left (at
the top according to figure) will be at a higher potential.
[B1]
Since the axle Y, the two wheels and the railing form a complete loop, induced current will
hence flow.
[B1]
Using Flemings left hand rule, a magnetic force opposite to the direction of motion would be
produced due to this current flow. This opposing force on the wheels will cause braking to
occur.

(If the trucks initial speed is high, the magnetic braking force experienced upon entering and
leaving the magnetic field may not be able to bring the truck to rest completely.)
To improve, we can either have several regions of PQ placed close to each other for
consecutive braking effects
[B2]
OR
Have a stronger vertical magnetic field B.
[B1]
Any reasonable explanation that leads to a larger acceleration hence braking force eg. with
reference to (1), would be awarded the second mark.

Alternative answers
3.
The forces they exert long range forces.
4.
They are conservative fields
Differences
1.
Electric field will change the magnitude of the speed of charged particles whereas magnetic
field can be used to change the direction of motion of charged particles.
[B1]
2.
If the paths of charged particles are not straight line path, it will be parabolic and circular
paths in electric and magnetic field respectively.

Alternative answers
3.
The electric force is either parallel or anti-parallel to the Electric field whereas the magnetic
force is always mutually perpendicular to the magnetic field and the motion of charged
particle.
4.
There will not be any magnetic force on stationary charged particle whilst there will be
electric force on charged particle regardless of its state of motion.
b(i) Using Flemings Left Hand Rule, the magnetic force will be mutually perpendicular to the
velocity and the magnetic field.
[B1]
It provides the necessary centripetal force for uniform circular motion.
