B [Resistor Figure 2 (2) @)_ Write the name of the components labelled A, B,C and x. A B iG i (4 marks) (i) Explain why a voltage is obtained across the terminals x and y. ( 2 marks) GO ON TO THE NEXT PAGE 01238020/JANUARY/F 2008 (6) The terminals x and y are connected to a 5 resistor. The peak output voltage across x~y is 12V. Calculate the peak value of the output current. (3 marks) (i) ‘The component labelled A in Figure 2 makes 10 revolutions in one second. On the grid provided, sketch a graph to represent the variation of output current with time during the first two revolutions. Indicate the SCALE used on EACH axis. (3 marks) Gili) The speed of rotation of component A is tripled with no other change involved. Determine the effect on a) the period of the output current (2 marks) b) the peak value of the output current. (1mark ) Total 15 marks GO ON TO THE NEXT PAGE 01238020/JANUARY/F 2008 ~ ita, 5. Magnets are characterized by magnetic field Tines. (a) Sketch the magnetic field associated with i) asingle bar magnet and (ii) between two strong bar magnets with their north poles facing, and in line with, each other. (4marks) (>) Anemergency flashlight is an essential item during hurricanes and blackouts. One model hasacrank handle connected to an alternating current generator, rechargeable batteries and light emitting diodes (LEDs) as shown in Figure 4. When the handle is turned, a permanent ‘magnet alsoturns inthe presence of astationary coil. This produces acurrent which charges the batteries, Figure 4 (i) How is the electromotive force (e.m.f.) generated in the stationary coil? i) _ What ADDITIONAL component is needed to be able to charge the batteries? iii) Atareasonable cranking rate, the unit generates 6.2 V. Calculate the current inthe circuit if the resistance is 310 . (5S marks) (©) A similar device includes a transformer so that an MP3 player can also be charged. The primary coil has 300 turns. (How many turns are needed in the secondary winding if the voltage is stepped up from 6.2 V to 15.5. V? Gi) Given that the current in the primary winding is 10 mA, what power is transmitted to the secondary windings if the transformer is 77% efficient?
