6.7

Tell the person next to you…
1. If the field lines are close together, what does this tell you about the field?
2. If the field lines are widely spaced, what does this tell you about the field?
3. If the magnetic field lines are parallel to each other, what does this tell you about the field?

Answers
1. The field is strong
2. The field is weak
3. The field is of a constant strength - a "uniform" field

6.5 and 6.3

28 November 2011

15:07
· 6.5 understand that magnetism is induced in some materials when they are placed in a magnetic field
· 6.3 recall the properties of magnetically hard and soft materials

Practical
1. Stroke a magnet along a steel bar and an iron bar
2. Try picking up some bar clips
3. Bang both bars on the desk
4. Now try picking up the paperclips again
5. Repeat the experiment but this time put the bars inside an electromagnet instead of stroking them

Explanation
· Steel is a magnetically hard material. It retains its magnetism when magnetised
· Iron is a magnetically soft material. It can be magnetised, but easily loses its magnetism

· 6.2 recall that magnets repel and attract other magnets, and attract magnetic substances

Question

You have 3 bars that all look the exactly the same but they are made from:
1. a magnet
2. steel
3. aluminium

You are given a horseshoe magnet. How can you use this to tell which bar is which?

Answer
1. The bar magnet will be attracted to one pole of the horseshoe magnet and repelled by the other
2. The steel bar will be attracted to both poles of the horseshoe magnet
3. The aluminium bar will be attracted to neither pole of the horseshoe magnet

5.17


Why do the eggs get sucked into the bottles?!

Explanation
· The burning paper in the bottle heats the air in the bottle
· When the egg gets placed on top, the oxygen supply in the bottle is rapidly depleted and the paper goes out
· The bottle is sealed by the egg and now has a constant volume of gas inside
· The hot gas in the bottle now starts to cool which reduces the pressure inside the bottle
· The pressure outside the bottle remains unchanged and so there is now an unbalanced force on the egg which accelerates the egg into the bottle


· 5.17 describe the qualitative relationship between pressure and Kelvin temperature for a gas in a sealed container

: http://phet.colorado.edu/en/simulation/gas-properties

· Put 5 pumps of gas in
· Set volume as the Constant Parameter
· Heat to 1000K
· Watch what happens to the Pressure

Conclusion
· If you increase the temperature, you increase the pressure

5.14 describe the Kelvin scale of temperature and be able to convert between the Kelvin and Celsius scales

Converting Centigrade to Kelvin
TK = ToC + 273

Converting Kelvin to Centigrade
ToC = TK - 273

TK = Temperature in Kelvin [K]

ToC = Temperature in Degrees Centigrade [oC]


· Collins p.118

[cid:image001.jpg@01CC9EF1.5FFE25A0]

1. T absolute zero (- 273 degrees centigrade) is when kinetic energy is at zero and the particles are not moving, you cannot go past this point as the particles cannot lose anymore energy as there is non left. 2. a) 20°C = 293K, ii) 150°C = 423K, iii) 1000°C = 1273°C
b) 300K = 27°C ii)650K= 377°C iii) 1000K = 727°C

· Use particle theory to explain why the gas in the balloon contracts

Explanation
· The temperature of the gas inside the balloon decreases so the average speed of the particles decreases
· Consequently the gas particles collide with the walls of the balloon with less force and less collisions per second
· Because the walls of the container are flexible, the volume decreases

1. Draw the path of a smoke particle in air (3 marks) Away from the air ----> they are pushed in whatever the direction the air particles move 2. Explain what is meant by Brownian Motion of smoke particles in air and how it provides evidence for air particles (4 marks)
Brownian motion of smoke particles is the random movement of particles, and this provides eidenc as The smoke particle has a jerky motion.
As (invisible) air molecules collide with the smoke particle,
they push it about in different directions at random.
3. What change would you expect to see in the movement of the smoke particles if the air was cooled down? Why? (2 marks)
the movement would slow down as the air particles had less kinetic energy.

Questions
· Why does the needle on the meter move when gas particles are introduced into the box?
· What does the meter measure?

Answers
· The gas particles collide with all of the walls of the container. The wall on the right moves outwards and moves the needle.
· Pressure. The gas particles colliding with the walls makes a force on the walls. The walls have a surface area so the quantity measured is pressure, p=F/A.

5.12+5.15 Questions

02 November 2011

15:55
· 5.12 recall that molecules in a gas have a random motion and that they exert a force and hence a pressure on the walls of the container
· 5.15 understand that an increase in temperature results in an increase in the speed of gas molecules

1. How do the particles create a pressure?
By bouncing off the walls of their container.
2. If you increase the temperature, how does the movement of the particles change?
the movement of particles gets faster
3. If you increase the temperature, how does the number of collisions per second change?
it increases
4. If you increase the temperature, what does this do to the pressure?
it increases the pressure

Questions

What is the difference between evaporating and boiling?

Boiling is rapid evaporation anywhere in the bulk liquid and at a fixed temperature called the boiling point and requires continuous addition of heat.
The rate of boiling is limited by the rate of heat transfer into the liquid.
Evaporation takes place more slowly than boiling at any temperature between the melting point and boiling point, and only from the surface, and results in the liquid becoming cooler due to loss of higher kinetic energy particles.

Questions

Why do solids keep their shape and why don't liquids and gases ?

As solids have a tightly packed formation and cannot move around and there is very strong bonds between particles, where as liquids and gases don't have a regular formation and can move around, so they are able to change shape.
Why do solids and liquids have a fixed volume but gases can spread out to fill their container?

As gases have no attracting forces between the particles and no fixed shape or volume, where as solids and liquids do have stronger bonds between particles and solids have a fixed shape and both have a fixed volume.
