Two identical radioactive sources emit α-particles and γ-rays into two vacuum tubes. shows two electrically charged plates on either side of one of the vacuum tubes. source initial path of beam of α-particles and γ-rays plate at +2500 V plate at –2500 V vacuum Write the symbol α once in Table 8.1 to indicate any deflection of the α-particles. Write the symbol γ once in Table 8.1 to indicate any deflection of the γ-rays. Table 8.1 into page out of page no deflection towards bottom of page towards top of page shows the poles of a very strong magnet on either side of the other vacuum tube. source initial path of beam of α-particles and γ-rays S pole of strong magnet N pole of strong magnet vacuum S N Write the symbol α once in Table 8.2 to indicate any deflection of the α-particles. Write the symbol γ once in Table 8.2 to indicate any deflection of the γ-rays. Table 8.2 into page out of page no deflection towards bottom of page towards top of page shows a simple direct current (d.c.) electric motor with a split-ring commutator. X coil brush split-ring N S State and explain the direction of rotation of the coil as seen from point X. statement explanation The coil rotates through 90° from the position shown. State what happens to the moment in this position. The coil is rotated through 180° from the position shown. By considering the forces on the coil, explain how the split-ring commutator enables the motor to turn continuously.

shows a magnet on the end of a spring and a coil of wire connected to a sensitive centre-zero galvanometer. The magnet can move freely through the coil. spring coil of wire centre-zero galvanometer N S The magnet is pulled down and released. Describe and explain what happens to the needle of the sensitive galvanometer. The magnet is replaced with a stronger magnet. State the effect of using a stronger magnet on what happens to the needle of the galvanometer. A step-up transformer is used to step up the output voltage of a power station from 25 000 V to 400 000 V for transmission along power lines. The number of turns on the secondary coil is 36 000. Calculate the number of turns on the primary coil. number of turns =
