UNDERSTANDING & CONCEPT
1. Explain why it is more dangerous to touch the live wire of a mains supply, rather than the
neutral wire.
SBP • Our bodies are at earth potential (0 V)
2007 • If we touch the live wire, there will be a large potential difference (p.d) the live wire and our
body.
• A large current flow through it, probably fatal.
• The neutral wire stays at earth potential (0 V), roughly at the same potential as our bodies.
• If we touch the neutral wire, there is no p.d. across us and so no current flows.

2. Diagram 11.1 shows a graph of potential difference against current for two materials, Y and
Z. One of the materials will be chosen as filament in a bulb.
MELAKA

Diagram 11.1

Based on the graph in Diagram11.1, compare the resistance of materials Y and Z.


Choose the more suitable material to use as a filament of the bulb. Explain your choice.

• the resistance of metal Z is constant // The resistance of metal Y is increasing


• The suitable material to be used as filament of the bulb is metal Y
• resistance increases as the temperature increases
• the higher the resistance the brighter the bulb.

3. Explain why the bulb connected to two dry cells lights up brighter than one bulb connected to
one dry cell. Explain.
SBP • The two dry cells are connected in parallel
2008 • The effective e.m.f. remains the same
• The effective internal resistance of the two cells is smaller
• A larger current will flow through the bulb to make it brighter

Explain the working principle of the rheostat.

• Current flows through a coil of conductor in the rheostat


• The length of wire through which by changing the position of the slider
• When the position of the slider changed, the resistance of the rheostat (Resistance) in the
circuit change
• As the result, the current in the circuit change

Explain what will happen to the ping pong ball when it is brought to touch the metal disc
connected to positive terminal of EHT?

• Charges on the disc neutralize the negative charges on the ping pong ball

supply. Diagram 10.5(a) uses two pin plug, while Diagram 10.5(b) uses a three pin plug with
KELANTAN an earth wire.
2010

Diagram 10.5

Explain why a three pin plug is more suitable compared with a two pin plug.

• Two pin plug has no earth wire // three pin plug has earth wire
• using 2 pin plug, if there is leakage of current it will also flow through the metal body // using
3 pin plug if there is leakage of current it will flow to the ground
• The person who touches the metal body will experiences electric shock // using 3 pin plug,
the current will be earthed
• using 2 pin is not safe to the consumer // Using 3 pin plug is more safer to the consumer

7. Explain the advantages of parallel circuit in a house wiring system.

PAHANG • A parallel circuit can run several devices using the full voltage of the supply.
2010 • If one device fails, the others will continue running normally
• If the device shorts, the other devices will receive no voltage, preventing overload damage.
• A failure of one component does not lead to the failure of the other components.
• More components may be added in parallel without the need for more voltage.
• Each electrical appliance in the circuit has its own switch.

will affect the brightness of the bulbs. Explain why.

REALISING THE IMPORTANCE OF PROPER MANAGEMENT OF RADIOACTIVE
SUBSTANCES

Ø Somatic effect appears in the person exposed to radiation. The seriousness of


the damage depends on the dose of radiation received.
SOMATIC EFFECT
Ø Fatigue, nausea, hair loss, radiation burns, cataracts, Blood disorder
(leukaemia), organ failure, death.
Ø Genetic effect affects the reproductive cells and can lead to defective offspring in
the future generations of the exposed person.
GENETIC EFFECT
Ø Birth defects, congenital defects, premature death, chromosome abnormalities,
cancer in later life.

Safety precautions needed in the handling of radioactive substances:

Ø Read and follow the advice and instructions marked on radioactive sources, equipment and work
manuals.
Ø Gloves must be worn any time an unsealed source is being used or whenever contamination is
likely to occur.
Ø Laboratory coats, long pants, and closed-toe footwear should be worn.
Ø Eating, drinking, applying cosmetic or storing food is prohibited.
Ø All work surfaces and storage areas should be covered with absorbent material to contain
radioactive material contamination.
Ø When using radioactive liquids, plastic or metal trays (stainless steel washes easily) should be
utilized to contain potential spills.
Ø Radioactive material, especially liquids, should be kept in unbreakable containers whenever
possible. If glass is used, a secondary container is necessary.
Ø Before eating or drinking, wash hands and forearms thoroughly.
Ø Stronger radioactive sources should be handled with robotic control systems behind steel,
concrete, lead or thick glass panels.
Ø Radiation badges containing photographic film should be worn to monitor exposure to radiation.
The film is regularly developed. The darkness of the film shows the level of exposure to radiation.
