General Marking Guidance

All candidates must receive the same treatment. Examiners must mark the first candidate in exactly the same way as they mark the last.

Mark schemes should be applied positively. Candidates must be rewarded for what they have shown they can do rather than penalised for omissions.

Examiners should mark according to the mark scheme not according to their perception of where the grade boundaries may lie.

There is no ceiling on achievement. All marks on the mark scheme should be used appropriately.

All the marks on the mark scheme are designed to be awarded. Examiners should always award full marks if deserved, i.e. if the answer matches the mark scheme. Examiners should also be prepared to award zero marks if the candidate's response is not worthy of credit according to the mark scheme.

Where some judgement is required, mark schemes will provide the principles by which marks will be awarded and exemplification may be limited.

When examiners are in doubt regarding the application of the mark scheme to a candidate's response, the team leader must be consulted.

Crossed out work should be marked UNLESS the candidate has replaced it with an alternative response.

Question number 1 a b (i)

(ii)

c

light; (to) electrical;

Answer

Notes

must be in this order only

charge = current x time;

allow rearrangements and standard symbols e.g. Q=Ixt reject use of c/C for current and charge

substitution; evaluation;

e.g. (charge =) 2.3 x 15 (charge =) 35 (C)

allow 34.5

idea that solar panels will still produce electricity if allow idea that they

one breaks / does not receive light;

still work if one breaks

/ does not receive light

ignore ideas relating to independent switching

Total for question 1 = 6 marks

Question number 2 a

Answer

Notes ignore horizontal arrows

downward arrow labelled `weight' / `air resistance';

downward arrow is shorter than lift arrow (by eye);

allow gravitational force, force due to gravity, W, mg, AR ignore spelling ignore `gravity' `G'

judge length of arrow starting from the bottom of the bee ignore horizontal position of arrow

Marks 2

assume arrow starts here

b (i) B;

(ii) A;

(iii) (average) speed = distance (moved) time (taken);

(iv) substitution; evaluation; e.g. (speed =) 19.5/35 (speed =) 0.56 (m/s)

1

allow rearrangements and

1

standard symbols e.g.

v=s/t

s=d/t

allow distances used in range

2

19.5-20.0 (m)

allow answers in range 0.55 ? 0.57

(m/s)

answer of 0.54 (using speed=19)

gains 1 mark only

0.5571429 allow 0.6 if supported by working
