Questions 1 to 16 must be answered by Foundation tier candidates only. Higher tier candidates start at question 17. Some students read about solar power. Solar power 1. The energy going into a solar cell comes from the wind the Earth s core the Sun the sea 2. The from a solar cell is static alternating direct neutral 3. Which of these have a different resistance in the dark and the light? light dependent resistors (LR s) thermistors switches fixed resistors The students find this picture of a solar powered car. 4. In the car, electrical energy from solar cells is stored in a generator in disposable batteries in a permanent magnet in rechargeable batteries H34533 2
5. Solar powered cars are better for the environment than cars that use petrol. This is because solar powered cars cost more to buy solar powered cars do not cost anything to run solar powered cars are streamlined solar powered cars do not give out carbon dioxide 6. The solar powered car has an electric motor. The motor turns because there is a force produced by the in the coil and the solar cells the in the coil and a magnetic field the in the coil and the voltage in the coil the in the coil and a resistor Use this information to answer questions 7 to 12. sif bought a wind-up radio. wind-up radio When the handle on the radio is turned, energy is stored in a spring. s the spring unwinds it drives a generator. 7. The generator produces an electric when a magnet rotates in a coil of wire a magnet rotates near an insulator a magnet rotates near a mains socket a magnet rotates in a vacuum 8. The useful energy change in the generator is electrical energy kinetic energy electrical energy sound and thermal energy kinetic energy sound and thermal energy kinetic energy electrical energy H34533 3 Turn over
9. The graph shows the in part of the radio. in The is time in s alternating direct stationary neutral 1. If sif winds the radio for one minute, the spring stores enough energy for the radio to play for one hour. sif s radio also has a solar panel so it can use energy from the Sun. He winds the radio for one minute. Then he puts it in a sunny place and the radio plays for three hours. This is because in sunlight the spring stores more energy the spring needs to supply energy more slowly the radio uses much less energy the radio needs to use energy more quickly 11. sif s old radio uses dry cells. Each dry cell has an output voltage of 1.5 V. Which of these shows how the cells should be connected to give an output voltage of 6 V? 12. Wind-up radios were invented for people in developing countries. Which of these is not a reason why wind-up radios were invented? eveloping countries have little mains electricity. Many developing countries have natural resources. The energy for wind-up radios is free. Many people in developing countries cannot afford batteries. H34533 4
Electricity for the home lan installs a wind powered generator to provide electrical energy for his home. turbine blade 13. The electrical power output of the generator is the energy per second transferred to electricity by the generator energy per second transferred to the turbine blades by the wind energy transferred to electricity by the generator energy transferred to the turbine blades by the wind 14. Modern societies rely on electricity because producing electricity does not harm the environment it is a convenient energy resource in factory, home and office renewable energy sources are much better for the environment fossil fuels are natural resources 15. The earth wire in lan s washing machine has become disconnected from the metal frame. Unfortunately, the live wire touches the metal frame. This situation is very dangerous because anyone touching the metal frame could get an electric shock the fuse in the plug will blow immediately the earth wire could heat up and start a fire the washing machine will spin too quickly 16. cost = power time cost per 1 kwh The cost of 1 kwh is 1p. n oven has a power rating of 4 kw.
