Methods of data collection Candidates should be able to: ‘© describe the method to be used to vary the independent variable + describe how the independent and dependent varlables are to be measured ‘© describe how other variables are to be kept constant «© describe, with the aid of a clear labelled diagram, the arrangement of apparatus for the experiment and the procedures to be followed For full credit to be awarded in this section, the overall arrangement must be workable, that I, It should be possible to.collect the data required without undue difficulty I the apparatus were assembled as described. The measuring Me CENA STUDY HUBInstruments chosen should be ft for purpose, In that they should measure the correct physical quantity toa suitable precision for the experiment. Method of analysis Candidates should be able to: + describe how the data should be used in order to reach a conclusion, Including detalls of derived quantities to be calculated from graphs. Additlonal detail including safety considerations Marks wil be avallable for adcltional relevant detail Including safety precautions. How these marks are awarded will depend on the experiment that fs to be planned, but they might. for example, Include marks for describing how adaltional variables ae tobe kept constant, or for a diagram of a cicult needed ‘to make a particular measurement or a description of intial experiments or an explanation of how to obtain calibration curves. For safety considerations, candidates shouldbe able to: ‘assess the risks oftheir experiment ‘describe precautions that should be taken to keep risks to a minimum. Candidates should be able to: * describe the use of an osciloscope or storage oscilloscope) to measure voltage, current, time and frequency describe how to use ght gates connected toa data logge to determine time, velocity and acceleration {describe how other sensors can be used with a datalogger, eg. motion sensor, Wei 198 1 HL STUDY HUBData analysis Candidates ‘should be able to: © Fearrange expressions into the forms y= mx+cy =ax" andy = ae!

For logarithmic quantities, the numberof decimal places should correspond to the number of sigificant figures, For example, if emis 765 (3s), then Ig (L/ cm) should be either 1.884 (3 dp) or 1.8837 (4 dp). Graph Candidates should be able to: * plot a graph following the conventions required for Paper 3 show error bars, ln both directions where appropriate, for each point on the graph Graw a straight line of best fit and a worst acceptable straight lin through the points on the graph {The worst acceptable line shouldbe either the steepest possible line or the shallowest possible line that passes through the eror bars of all the datapoints. should be distinguished fromthe line of best fit ether by being drawn as a broken line or by being clearly labeled, Conclusion Candidates should be able to: ‘+ determine the gradient andy-intercept ofa straight-line graph ‘+ derive expressions that equate to the gradient or they-intercept of their straight tines of best fit draw the required conclusions, wth correct units and appropriate numberof significant figures, rom these expressions. Treatment of uncertainties Candidates should be able to: convert absolute uncertainty estimates into fractional or percentage uncertainty estimates and vice versa ‘* show uncertainty estimates, in absolute terms, beside every value ina table of results * calculate uncertainty estimates in derived quantities, ‘estimate the absolute uncertainty n the gradient of a graph by recalling that absolute uncertainty = gradient of line of best fit gradient of worst acceptable tine ‘+ estimate the absolute uncertainty inthe y-intercept of a graph by recalling that absolute uncertainty = y-intercept of line of best fit~y-intercept of worst acceptable tine * express a quantity as a value, an uncertainty estimate and a unit, TE Nes le STUDY HUB1A student nt light-emi iodes (LED: is investi a ‘gating the characteristi le ‘ws examples of LEDs and the circuit Symbol ane ee oe blue red 4 circuit symbol: pi Fig 1.1 Each LED needs a minimum Investigating the relationshiy several different LEDs. potential dlference V across it to emit light.
