Physics Paper 2

SECTION A (25 Marks)

1.

Earth is between the sun and moon and all lies a straight line.√

1 marks

2.

Each material is brought in turn to touch the cap√

the conduction will discharge the electroscope while the insulation will not√

2 marks

3.

2 marks

4.

Magnetic field is the region surrounding a magnet where magnetic effect or force is experienced.√

1 marks

5.

3 marks

6.

2 marks

7.

The lamp goes on and off√ current flows through the wire from A to B wire experiences a force ( by Flemings left hand rule) and knocks c completing second circuit making lamp to light√

2 marks

8.

Current stops flowing in first circuit, there is no force on the wire and wire falls to touch mercury and process repeats

2 marks

9.

1.16 A√

1 marks

10.

Time = 0.08 x 2 = 0.16 seconds.
2 x distance = speed x time.

d = 1400 x 0.16

=112√

11.

2 marks

12.

Angle of incident is greater than critical angle and light must be moving from more optically dense to loss dense medium√

1 marks

13.

Focal length of the eye lens too long√

1 marks

14.

Heat.√

1 marks

SECTION B (55 Marks)

15.

(a),i, divergence increases√
ii, divergence increases√

iii, capacitance decreases√

- Capacitance decreases√

12 marks

16.

c.) ( i), A Blue or black √

B Brown or red√

(ii). The hair dryer is not dangerous; the plastic case is poor conduction of electricity√

(iii). i, S3 √

ii, S1 and S3 √

11 marks

17.

a). (i), Filament heat up cathode; causing electrons to move out of the cathode√

(ii),1. Grid√

(ii), controls brightness of the sport √

Since it is negatively charged√

It repels electrons reducing the number√

reaching screen.

(iii) a vertical line would appear√

11 marks

18.

(a) (i) positive√

(ii) A-Alpha radiation√

B – Gamma radiation√

C - Beta radiation√

(iii) C is lighter than A√

b,) So that the electron do not lose some of their energy through collision with air molecules on their way to the target.√

11 marks

19.

(ii). When diode is forward biased√ effective resistance is less than smallest resistance hence more current flows√

( iv) Diode is in reverse bias√ and effective resistance is only through the resistor√
