The 100 W is an average over the whole day. Most households would uselight bulbs for 6 hours a day in no more than 4 rooms, so this would meanno other energy was needed for lighting.4 low energy bulbs would be 44 W for 6 each hours so would require energyfrom the National grid.

(ii) Explanation

Charge on a is double that on proton / has 2 protons /force on a is double force on proton. (1)

Mass of a particle is (approx) 4 times / more than double that of theproton. (1)

[hence acceleration is approximately halved].

Magnitude of current would be increasing as frame movesthrough position 1 (or position 3) (1)

Magnitude of current would be greater for position 3 than 1[Beware comparison of position 3 with position 2 here] (1)

Reference to increased rate of flux cutting / increased rate of flux change / increased area swept out per second (1)(Beware suggestion that B or flux density is changing)

So induced emf is greater (1)

Current for position 2 is zero [Do not credit equal and opposite currents cancelling] Both needed (1)

rest mass energy of proton – E = mc2 = 1.67 × 10–27 × c × c

186. Why large voltage is generated in secondary circuit:

Faraday’s Law in words including ‘flux linkage’

Current flow in primary (1)

Changing flux in. secondary induces e.m.f (1)

Many turns on secondary means large flux linkage (1)

Hence rate of change of flux linkage is large

reduction time is short (1)

Hence induced e.m.f. is large (1) Max 6[6]
