2010 PMR Science Paper 2

1 (a) Diagram 1 shows three laboratory apparatus, P, Q and R.
        Name P, Q and R using the words given in the box below.
P = Bunsen burner  
Q = Tripod stand
R = Beaker
(b) Draw lines to match the laboratory apparatus with its function.
Stopwatch = Measures time
Calipers     = Measures diameter
Spring balance = Measures weight

2. Diagram 2 shows a 3-pin plug with 13A fuse.
(a) State the name of wire Q. -- Live wire
(b) Complete Table 2 by writing the international colour code used for the wire.
Type of wire
Jenis wayar
International colour code
Kod warna antarabangsa
Live wire
Wayar hidup
Brown//red
Neutral wire
Wayar neutral
Blue//black
Earth wire
Wayar bumi
Yellow with green stripes
Kuning dengan jalur hijau









(c) State one function of fuse.
      Protects the circuit//prevents short circuit//controls excess current.
(d) What might happen to an electrical appliance if the wires in the 3-pin plug are wrongly connected?
      Will not function//No current flow
(e)  If 15A current flows through a 3-pin plug, predict what will happen to the fuse in the plug.
      Will not function//will melt//breaks down
      To be continued.......
