  1. PART A
    You are provided with the following:
    • a voltmeter (0 – 5V)
    • a carbon resistor labelled R
    • Two new size D dry cells
    • cells holder
    • a capacitor labelled C (2200µF)
    • a stopwatch
    • eight connecting wires at least four of which have crocodile clips
    • a switch
      Proceed as follows :
      1.  
        1. Draw a circuit diagramhaving a switch, voltmeter, two dry cells and connecting wires that can be used to determine the Emf of the cells provided. (1mk)
        2. Use the above circuit to determine the Emf of the cells
      2. Connect the circuit as shown in figure 1 below.
        phyc3 part1111
      3. Close the switch and note the maximum voltage attained on the voltmeter. Record it as Vmax
      4. Open the switch and simultaneously start your stopwatch and note the time taken for the voltmeter reading to decrease from V max to 0.2V. record this value in table 1 below. Short the terminals of the capacitor C to attain a reading of zero volts on the voltmeter.
      5. Repeat procedure iii and iv for the other values of the voltage indicated in table 1

      Proceed as follows:
      1. Set up the apparatus as shown in the figure below
      2. Displace the bob slightly at a small angle from the vertical line and record the time taken 20 oscillations in the table below. Repeat the for two more trials

      3. Calculate the average periodic time Tav  (2mks)
      4. Given that Tav=2π find the value of g     (3mks)
  3. PART C
    You are provided with the following:-
    • A biconvex lens.
    • A lens holder.
    • A screen.
    • A meter rule.
    • A candle
    • A cross wire
      Proceed as follows:
      1. Set up the apparatus as shown in the figure below.
        phyc3 part2222
        NB: THE CROSS WIRE PROVIDED MUST BE PLACED JUST INFRONT OF THE CANDLE TO ACT AS THE OBJECT     
      2. Place a lit candle and a cross wire at a distance U = 20cm from the len
      3. Adjust the position of the screen until a sharp image of the cross wire is focused on the screen. Record d in the table 2.
      4. Repeat part (b) and (c) for other values shown in table 2 and complete the table. (8mks)
