A student is taking measurements from a piece of wire.

1
(a)
Add To Classified

She measures the diameter d using a micrometer. She obtains the following readings

1
(a) (I)
Add To Classified
1 Mark

Explain how you would use her readings to obtain the most accurate mean value

for the diameter of the wire

Ignore the anomalous 0.77

OR add the four good readings and divide by four

1
(a) (II)
Add To Classified
1 Mark

Use her readings to obtain the most accurate mean value for the diameter of the

wire.

Wire diameter =

0.27 mm

1
(a) (III)
Add To Classified
2 Mark s

Estimate the percentage uncertainty in your value for the diameter of the wire.

Percentage uncertainty =

Divides 0.015 or 0.02 or 0.03

by their mean value to calculate correct percentage

Example of calculation

0.02/0.27 = 7%

1
(b)
Add To Classified

She then makes the following measurements.

length of wire = 663 mm

mass of wire = 0.32 g

1
(b) (I)
Add To Classified
2 Mark s

Use her measurements to calculate the volume of the wire.

Volume =

1
(b) (II)
Add To Classified
2 Mark s

Calculate the density of the material of the wire.

Density =

Use of mass/volume

Answer to 2 s.f. with unit for density consistent with

mass used

Example of calculation

1
(c)
Add To Classified
2 Mark s

The tables below are taken from a data book

 

Use the information in the tables to identify the material of the wire and its standard

thickness.

Material of wire is 

Standard thickness of wire is

Material is Nichrome

Thickness is 32 (swg)
