The role of Physics in scientific research and technology cannot be overemphasized. For
this reason, those who have any dreams of contributing to the advancement of technology need to
be given a good base or foundation especially at the Advanced Level where they receive the basics
for future specialization in the various fields. Taking into consideration the fact that many students
consider Physics as a monster, this book becomes primordial in assisting Advanced Level Physics
students in establishing this foundation and preparing themselves to face the ever-changing
scientific world.
STRIKING FEATURES ABOUT THE BOOK
G.C.E. questions from 2001 to 2018 together with their proposed solutions.
Well calculated spaces to permit the student train himself before casting an eye on the
proposed solutions

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
We thank the Almighty God for the wisdom and the strength to have gone about the
development of this material. We believe it will go a long way to improve the
Performance of our students first in GBHS Dschang and all those who will put it into
productive use.

1. A 100 g calorimeter contains 300 g of water at room temperature. 50 g of ice is added to this calorimeter
and the equilibrium temperature recorded is 282.7 K. Calculate the room temperature. The specific heat
capacity of copper = 380 Jkg-1K-1, the specific latent heat of fusion of ice = 3.25 x 105 JK-1.

The source S supplies 300 W to the resistor R1, R2 and 100 ohms respectively. Calculate
(i) The potential difference across R1 (ii) The value for the resistance R2
3. A car is normally threaded with wire loops. Donlop tyres have about 200 loops a tyre. A car running on
such tyres travels at speed of 16.7 ms-1 along a level road such that the magnetic field of the earth makes
an angle of 530 with the axis of the tyre at all the times. If the magnetic field is 1.2 x 10-5 T, calculate
i. The induced current through a loop if the tyre’s diameter is 0.65 m and the resistance per unit
length is 8.0 x 10-3 ohms per meter.
ii. How much power is generated on the tyre due to the motion in the earth’s magnetic field?
iii. What does it suggest to you about the usage of threaded tyres?
