14 A student investigates the brightness of a lamp.
Plan an experiment to investigate how the intensity (brightness) of the light produced by the lamp
is affected by the current in the lamp.
The apparatus available includes:
• a lamp and power supply

• a light meter which measures the intensity of light arriving at it
• an ammeter
• a variable resistor.
In your plan, you should:
• complete the circuit diagram in Fig. 4.1 to show the variable resistor connected to control the
current in the lamp
• state the key variables to be kept constant
• explain briefly how to do the experiment
• draw a table with column headings, to show how to display the readings (you are not required
to enter any readings in the table)
• explain how to use the readings to reach a conclusion.

Fig. 1.1
(a) The student places the metre ruler on the pivot. She places a load P on the metre ruler at the
90.0 cm mark. She adjusts the position of the metre ruler on the pivot so that the metre ruler
is as near as possible to being balanced.
The ruler balances with the pivot at the 75.0 cm mark.

Record the value of a in the first row of Table 1.1. [1]
(b) She records, in Table 1.1, the distance b from the pivot to the 0.0 cm end of the metre ruler.
She repeats the procedure placing the load P at the 85.0 cm mark, 80.0 cm mark, 75.0 cm
mark and 70.0 cm mark. She records the values of a and b in Table 1.1.

The following is also available:
• supply of water at room temperature

• metre ruler.

Plan an experiment to investigate how one factor affects the time taken for the water to evaporate.
You do not need to write about safety precautions.
You should:
• state any additional apparatus required

• explain briefly how you would do the investigation
• state the key variables that you would keep constant
• draw a table, or tables, with column headings, to show how you would display your readings
(you are not required to enter any readings in the table)
• explain how you would use your readings to reach a conclusion.

(a) Explain briefly how to measure to the centre of the pendulum bob as accurately as possible.

(b) The student adjusts the length of the pendulum until the distance l , measured from the bottom
of the clamp supporting the pendulum to the centre of the pendulum bob, is 50.0 cm.

oscillation of the pendulum.
He measures and records the time t for 20 complete oscillations.
(i) Calculate, and record in Table 1.1, the period T of the pendulum. The period is the time
for one complete oscillation. [1]
