(a(i))[1]

Explain the role of the slip rings and brushes.

(a(ii))[3]

Describe the way in which an alternating current is generated in the lamp.

(a(iii))[2]

State two possible changes that cause a larger maximum current in the lamp.

(b(i))[1]

Determine how many revolutions the coil has completed, from time = 0 to E.

Worked solution & mark scheme

This 10-mark question has a full step-by-step worked solution and mark scheme. One marking point: maintain a continuous link (between the coil and the lamp) OR stop the contacts reversing every half turn / 180^{\circ} OR stop the wires (to the lamp) twisting / tangling
