P4 Radiation for Life 6 mark questions (and mark schemes)
Ultrasound can be used in foetal scanning. A three-dimensional (3-D) scan uses computer technology and gives a more detailed image than a conventional two-dimensional (2-D) scan. Explain how ultrasound is used in foetal scanning and why a pregnant woman is scanned with ultrasound but is never X-rayed.
6 Mark Question on THE PLUG • Explain the functions of the different wires in the plug AND how a fuse protects the appliance if it develops a fault.
6 Mark Question on THE PLUG • Live wire carries current to the appliance (1 mark) • Neutral wire completes the circuit and is kept at 0V (1 mark) • Earth wire is a safety feature that ‘earths’ appliances with metal cases (1 mark) • Wire in fuse melts if current gets too large, stopping current (1 mark) • This prevents overheating which may cause fire (1 mark) • Prevents further damage to the appliance(1 mark)
