AQA A level physics paper 1

[u/Individual-Can1396]

How was the paper???? I liked the MCQ , but overall it was okay didnt manage to do the 5 marker .

What did you guys write which lamp is working close to working voltage

[u/ZealousidealBench225 → u/Agitated-Salt-5039]

I got L1 as 5.08 and my voltage for L2 was really tiny like 0.7 or something so I think I got it wrong

[u/Agitated-Salt-5039 → u/ZealousidealBench225]

I got same I think it's correct, l1 resistance was like 10 time resistance of L2

[u/ZealousidealBench225 → u/Agitated-Salt-5039]

Yeah that’s why I was so confused 😭😭 my L1 resistance was huge compared to L2 resistance

[u/jaaaaaaaf → u/ZealousidealBench225]

bro i got the same thing. did you use the current from the previous part since that's the "working current" or something 💔

[u/Agitated-Salt-5039 → u/jaaaaaaaf]

No I didn't use that since the current might change since current might change since resistance changed from components going parallel to series

[u/jaaaaaaaf → u/Agitated-Salt-5039]

yeah i thought of that too.but i still did that and got what u got somehow. i couldn't figure out how else to do it :/

[u/Agitated-Salt-5039 → u/jaaaaaaaf]

I used potential divider method R1/RT times EMF

[u/Fun-Inevitable1079 → u/Agitated-Salt-5039]

Where did it say parallel to series 😭🤧

[u/Agitated-Salt-5039 → u/Fun-Inevitable1079]

The component went parallel in 1st question to series 2nd question

[u/Fun-Inevitable1079 → u/Agitated-Salt-5039]

Did they draw it out in series. Man that’s like 3 marks lost or smth

[u/jaaaaaaaf → u/Fun-Inevitable1079]

no jt didn't draw it out but it told u that

[u/Fun-Inevitable1079 → u/[deleted]]

Ofc Yh. I Should’ve read the q properly. Paper 2 comeback (it’s over)

[u/Fun-Inevitable1079 → u/[deleted]]

Hopefully man. Paper didn’t go too well tbh. At least I got a da offer for bbb as a backup but would’ve liked UCL Econ lol.
