9702/52/M/J/22: Two parallel cylindrical conductors each have a small cross‑sectional area A. A thin metal bar connects the two conductors, as shown in Fig. 1.1. The metal bar has a square cross‑section with sides of length y. For each conductor, the distance between its end C and the centre of the metal bar is L. The distance between the centres of the conductors is x.
The ends C are connected to a power supply and the current I in the conductors is measured.
It is suggested that I is related to L by the relationship
eI=2PLA+Qxy2
where E is the electromotive force (e.m.f.) of the power supply, and P and Q are constants.
Plan a laboratory experiment to test the relationship between I and L. Draw a diagram showing the arrangement of your equipment. Explain how the results could be used to determine values for P and Q.
