3(a) Inference :
The size of the gas bubble depends on the depth of
the water.
1
(b) Hypothesis:
The smaller the pressure, the larger is the volume of
a fixed mass of gas. / The volume of a gas varies
inversely with its pressure.
1
(c)(i) Aim : To investigate the relationship between the
pressure and volume for a fixed mass of gas at a
constant temperature.

(ii) Variables : Manipulated : Gas volume, V
Responding : Gas pressure, P
Fixed : Gas temperature,T or mass
of gas, m

(iii) Apparatus : Glass syringe, a short rubber tube and
Bourdon gauge

(iv) Arrangement of apparatus: must label
1
(v) Procedure:
1. The apparatus is set up as shown in the diagram
above.
2. The piston of the syringe is adjusted until the
volume of air in the syringe is 100 cm
3
at
atmospheric pressure.
3. The syringe is connected to a Bourdon gauge and
the pressure of the air in the syringe is observed
and recorded.
4. The piston is then pushed in so that the volume
of air trapped is 90 cm
3
. The pressure is again
recorded, this procedure is repeated for enclosed
volumes of 80cm

4(a) inference: the strength of electromagnetism
depends on the current in the coil.
1
(b) hypothesis: The larger the current in the coil, the
stronger the strength of electromagnetism
1
(c)(i) aim To study the relationship between the size of
current carried by the coil and the strength of
electromagnetism.

(ii) Manipulated variable: current, I
Responding variable: strength of electromagnetism(
number of pins collected)
Fixed variable: no of turns, /the type of core
used,/the distance between the end or the soft iron
rod and the pins in petri dish.
