The circuit symbol for a fuse is
A student reads the following in an article. Some 1 A fuses can take 10 A for 0.1 s to allow for a large current when a circuit is first switched on. He decides to investigate this statement by allowing different values of current above 1 A in a 1 A fuse and measuring how long it takes to blow. His experiment produced results shown by the graph. current

radioactive source
Which part of the apparatus takes safety into account? ....................................................................................................................................... (1) (b) Before the source is put in place the teacher takes three readings of count rate, in counts per minute, at one-minute intervals. 23, 22, 27 Calculate the average background count rate. ....................................................................................................................................... Average background count rate = ........................ counts per minute (1) (c) At one point during the experiment the ratemeter reading is 78 counts per minute. Calculate how much of this reading is due to the source. ....................................................................................................................................... ........................ counts per minute (1) (d) Some students record readings from the ratemeter at five-minute intervals. The data is corrected for background count and placed in a table.
