Here is the extracted text from the physics exam paper, organized for your WordPress post.
SECTION 1 (1 hour)
1. a) What is the commercial unit for measurement of electrical energy consumption? (1mark) b) An electric heater rated 1000 W is used in a home for 5 hours each day. If the electricity company sells 1 Kwhr at the cost of 50 frs, how much will it cost to run the heater for 30 days? (3marks) c) The heater above is connected on 220 V mains. Determine the fuse value that would be good for the heater? (2marks)
2. Figure 1 below shows a bucket containing 25 kg of sand, hanging from a support as shown in a building site.
(Note: Figure 1 depicts a bucket of sand hanging by a string from a horizontal support beam.)
a) Copy the diagram and show all the forces acting on the bucket. (2marks) b) Calculate the weight of the sand in the bucket. (2marks) c) Give one difference between the weight and mass of the sand. (2marks) d) If the system is in equilibrium, calculate the support provided by the string. (neglect the weight of the bucket) (2marks)
3. Figure 2 above shows a simple closed circuit connected to a low voltage battery.
(Note: Figure 2 depicts a vertical wire passing through a horizontal cardboard, connected to a battery and a variable resistor/switch.)
a) Copy the diagram and show on it the direction of current and the magnetic flux pattern on the cardboard. (3marks) b) Name one rule that can be used to determine the direction of the magnetic field around the wire. (1mark) c) State one thing that can be done to increase the strength of the magnetic field. (1mark)
4. Infra-red (IR) rays, ultra violet (UV) rays and visible light are all part of the electromagnetic spectrum. a) Arrange the above radiations in order of increasing frequency. (3marks) b) Name a detector each for infra-red and ultra violet radiations. (2marks) c) Give two properties that are common to all electromagnetic (em) waves. (2marks)
Would you like me to generate the solutions for these physics problems or format them into a table?
