CSEC Physics · January 2008 · Paper 2 · Question 4(b)(ii)

The terminals x and y are connected to a 5 Ω resistor. The peak output voltage across x - y is 12 V.

The component labelled A in Figure 2 makes 10 revolutions in one second. On the grid provided, sketch a graph to represent the variation of output current with time during the first two revolutions. Indicate the SCALE used on EACH axis.
