Sketch a graoh of current against potential difference for a filament lamp and explain its shape.

(draw diagram on whiteboard) As the potential difference increases, the current increases, since V=IR (where V is the potential difference, I is the current and R is the resistance). Initially the current...

Explain how the photoelectric effect gives evidence for the photon theory of light.

When light is shone onto a piece of metal, if the light is below a certain frequency, no photoelectrons are emitted. Only if the light is above a certain frequency, known as the threshold frequency, are p...

State Ohm's Law and the main characteristics of ohmic conductors, giving examples

Ohm's law states V=R×I, which means that the voltage difference V across a component and the current I flowing across it are directly proportional one another, and the proportionality coefficient is the r...

The teacher quickly inverts the can containing boiling water into a bowl of cold water, as shown in the diagram. When the can is inverted in the cold water, the can collapses. Use ideas about particles and pressure to explain why the can collapses.

Initially the average kinetic energy of the trapped air within the can is much higher the surrounding body of air. However, when immersed in the cold water, there is a significant decrease in the average ...

State what is meant by resonance and provide some examples where it is crucial.

Resonance is where a system is forced to oscillate at a frequency close or at its natural frequency. The result of the forced oscillation produces a maximum energy transfer and, therefore, a large increa...
