May/June 2003
1 hour 30 minutes
Candidates answer on the Question Paper.
Additional Materials: As specified in the Confidential Instructions.
READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS FIRST
Write your Centre number, candidate number and name on all the work you hand in.
Write in dark blue or black pen in the spaces provided on the Question Paper.
You may use a soft pencil for any diagrams, graphs or rough working.
Do not use staples, paper clips, highlighters, glue or correction fluid.
Answer both questions.
You are expected to record all your observations as soon as these observations are made, and to plan the
presentation of the records so that it is not necessary to make a fair copy of them. The working of the
answers is to be handed in.
Marks are mainly given for a clear record of the observations actually made, for their suitability and
accuracy, and for the use made of them.
Additional answer paper and graph paper should be submitted only if it becomes necessary to do so.
You are reminded of the need for good English and clear presentation in your answers.
At the end of the examination, fasten all your work securely together.
If you have been given a label, look at the
details. If any details are incorrect or
missing, please fill in your correct details
in the space given at the top of this page.
For Examiner’s Use
Stick your personal label here, if
provided.

In this experiment you will investigate the relationship between the current in a copper wire
and the orientation of a magnet suspended near to the copper wire. The magnet (with a
pointer attached) has been suspended as shown in Fig. 1.1.

magnet
thin strip of card
pointer
Fig. 1.1
A piece of straight copper wire has been taped to one edge of a 50 cm rule and a 360°
protractor attached to the centre of the rule. You should not disturb the copper wire or the
protractor from their positions on the rule during the course of the experiment.

One type of radiation detector known as a Geiger-Müller tube is shown in Fig. 2.1.
wire anode
cylindrical cathode
A
B
thin mica window
gas at low pressure
Fig. 2.1
In order for the tube to function, a potential difference VAB has to be applied between A and
B. The count rate registered by an instrument connected to the tube depends on several
factors such as the distance from the radioactive source to the thin mica window, the activity
of the source and VAB. The tube can detect α, β and γ-radiation.
Design a laboratory experiment to investigate how the count rate due to γ-radiation only
depends upon the potential difference VAB. You have access to three different radioactive
sources only. Information relating to each of these sources is given in the table below.
source
type of radiation emitted
half-life of source
Radium-226
α, β and γ
1600 years
Bismuth-214
β and γ only
20 minutes
Cobalt-60
β and γ only
5 years
You may assume that the following equipment is available, together with any other apparatus
that may be found in a school or college science laboratory.
Aluminium plates of different thicknesses
Ammeter
Connecting wires
Datalogger
Geiger-Müller tube
Lead plates of different thicknesses
Metre rule
Oscilloscope
Ratemeter
Scaler
Signal generator
Source handling tool

You should draw a diagram showing the arrangement of your apparatus. In your account you
should pay particular attention to
(a) which source you would use, giving a reason for your choice,
(b) the procedure to be followed, including how the count rate would be measured,
(c) the control of variables,
(d) any safety precautions you would take.
