5.
When paint is sprayed from a paint gun, the painter normally needs to use a fair amount of skill to ensure
the paint goes on evenly. By connecting the spray nozzle to a negative electrode, it is possible to charge
each droplet of paint(from Wikibooks.org).
Why do the drops of paint spread out when they leave the nozzle?

6. Mike works as a forensic scientist.
He uses an electrostatic lifter (EDPL) to detect faint footprints on surfaces.
The diagram shows a simplified EDPL and the box describes how it works.
This is how it works
A lifting sheet, A, is placed over the faint footprint.
A metal plate, B is placed near it.
A control unit applies a voltage of 10 kV between the lifting sheet and the metal plate.
The lifting sheet becomes negatively charged and the metal plate becomes positively charged.
A dust print forms on the lower surface of the lifting sheet.
(a) Use the idea of charge movement to explain how the lifting sheet, A, becomes negatively
charged and the metal plate, B, becomes positively charged.

Mark scheme
Part A
1. (a) correct symbols for ammeter, voltmeter and battery;
ammeter in series with cells and voltmeter in parallel with wire;
(b) independent : length;
dependent : resistance;
2. (a) electron;
(b) movement together / towards balloon;
due to attraction;
between the positive charges on the balloon and the negative charges on the can (or between oppositecharges);
3. (a) diode (accept LED);
(b)
zero/v. small current for negative voltage values;
correct shape for positive values of voltage;
(c) can change the resistance of a variable resistor or variable resistor can change current/voltage (or the
converse);
(d) 6 volts;
(e) 6-3.8 = 2.2V;
(f) 40mA for both;
4. (a) converts milliamps to amps;
substitution into correct equation and rearrangement to find 5077;
(one mark for 5.077 )
(b) 1-2 marks:
resistance of A decreases with T or A is a thermistor;
resistance of B increases with T or B is a filament lamp;
3-4marks:both relationships are non-linear;
for A largest slope (or rate of change) is at lower T OR for B largest slope is at a higher T
more results for B / fewer results for A
range of values for both is similar;
