Exam points

  • use mathematical notation, units, equations, graphs and physical constants accurately in calculations
  • apply geometry, trigonometry, vectors and algebraic manipulation to physical situations
  • select, rearrange and interpret supplied physical formulae rather than substituting blindly
  • analyse experimental graphs through gradients, intercepts, curves, tangents, logarithmic plots and uncertainty
  • recognise and draw circuit symbols and connect them to component behaviour and measurement

Question 2

[Maximum number: 1]

digital balance, an electronic circuit generates a current which is then converted into a digital

readout on the display.

The electronic circuit gives a current of 2.0 mA when a weight of 30 N is applied, and a current of

0.5 mA when a weight of 5 N is applied.

Which calibration curve could represent this circuit?
