How alpha, beta and gamma emissions behave in an electric field and magnetic field? G2/G3
Alpha, beta and gamma emissions behave differently in electric field and magnetic field, depending on charge, mass and speed. In general, the charge of the particle will determine the direction of deflection, and the mass will affect how much deflection. In an electric field, due to laws of electrostatic (like charges repel, unlike charges attract) the charged particles of alpha and beta will be deflected in opposite direction. In a magnetic field, you can determine the direc

What happens to the reading on the electronic balance when current flow through the wire?
We are all familiar to applying FLHR to the current-carrying wire. But actually there is an equal and opposite force acting on the magnet too! Magnetic force is an action-reaction pair (Newton’s 3rd Law) View the video explanation What happens to the readings on the electronic balance when currents flow through the wire? https://youtu.be/6R32DsGNkic

Brightness of bulb - 100W vs 60W
Brightness of the filament bulb depends on power. The design of the filament is such that it uses tungsten (high resistivity), coil up (to increase the length) and thin tungsten filament (small cross-sectional area). These features are to let the tungsten filament achieve a certain amount of resistance, so that when current flows through, energy is transferred electrically to the internal (thermal) store of the filament, so that it is hot and the filament glow and gives out l

I-V graphs of various components
For Science Physics, you just need to the I-V graphs of ohmic conductor e.g fixed resistor and non-ohmic conductor e.g. filament bulb/lamp. For Pure Physics, all the 4 components are needed.

Various graphs of a simple pendulum and vertical oscillating object
As the reference height is at B, so above that reference height is considered positive, and below the reference height it is considered negative. Hence the height-time graph is as such. Consider a vertical oscillating object, similar to the simple pendulum, the middle is the fastest.
