Paper 2 AS Level Structured Questions March 2017
MARK SCHEME
Maximum Mark: 60
Published
This mark scheme is published as an aid to teachers and candidates, to indicate the requirements of the
examination. It shows the basis on which Examiners were instructed to award marks. It does not indicate the
details of the discussions that took place at an Examiners’ meeting before marking began, which would have
considered the acceptability of alternative answers.
Mark schemes should be read in conjunction with the question paper and the Principal Examiner Report for
Teachers.
Cambridge will not enter into discussions about these mark schemes.
Cambridge is publishing the mark schemes for the March 2017 series for most Cambridge IGCSE®,
Cambridge International A and AS Level components and some Cambridge O Level components.
EK = ½mv 2 C1
2(b)(ii)2 0.48 = EK of A + EK of B C1
= EK of A + (EK of A / 1.5) = 5/3 × EK of A
EK of A = 0.29 (0.288) J A1
3(b)(iii) P = Fv C1
= 970 (972) Hz A1
from greater than 950 Hz / from 970 (972) Hz / to less than 950 Hz / to 930 (929) Hz / by 40 (43) Hz A1
5(a) to the right / from the left / from A to B / in the same direction as electron velocity B1
5(b) v 2 = u 2 + 2as C1
a = (1.5 × 107)2 / (2 × 2.0 × 10–2)
5(c) E = F/Q C1
5(d) straight line with negative gradient starting at an intercept on the v-axis and ending at an intercept on the t-axis. B1
6(a) I = I1 + I2 + I3 B1
6(b)(ii)1 Energy = EQ C1
6(b)(iii) 1 / 4.8 = 1 / 12 + 1 / RX A1
RX = 8.0 Ω
6(b)(iv) P = V2 /R C1
or
P = VI and V = IR
ratio = (V 2 / 8) / (V 2 / 12) = 12 / 8 A1
= 1.5
