A-level PHYSICS Paper 2 2 *02* IB/M/Jun22/7408/2 Do not write outside the Section A box Answer all questions in this section. 0 1 Figure 1 shows an electric steam iron. Figure 1 Water from a reservoir drips onto an electrically-heated metal plate. The water boils and steam escapes through holes in the metal plate. The electrical power of the heater inside the iron is 2.1 kW. Assume that all the energy from the heater is transferred to the metal plate. 0 1 . 1 The metal plate has a mass of 1.2 kg and is initially at a temperature of 20 °C. The heater is switched on. After a time t the metal plate reaches its working temperature of 125 °C. Calculate t. specific heat capacity of the metal = 450 J kg−1 K−1 [2 marks] t = s Do not write outside the box 3 *03* Turn over ► IB/M/Jun22/7408/2 Do not write outside the 0 1 box . 2 The metal plate is maintained at its working temperature. Water at 20 °C drips continuously onto the metal plate. Steam at 100 °C emerges continuously from the iron. The maker claims that the iron can generate steam at a rate of 60 g min−1 . Determine whether this claim is true. specific latent heat of vaporisation of water = 2.3 × 106 J kg−1 specific heat capacity of water = 4200 J kg−1 K−1 [3 marks] 5 4 *04* IB/M/Jun22/7408/2 Do not write outside the 0 2 box . 1 In the kinetic theory model, it is assumed that there are many identical particles moving at random.

Determine, using this relationship, the magnitude of the electric field strength at a distance 0.30 m from the centre of the sphere. State an appropriate SI unit for your answer. [4 marks] electric field strength = unit 0 3 . 3 The sphere acts as a capacitor because it stores charge at an electric potential. Show that the capacitance of the sphere is approximately 1 × 10−11 F.
