51. On the diagram in your answer booklet, sketch at least four magnetic field lines of force around a bar magnet. [Include arrows to show the direction of each field line.] [1]

Refer to the following information for the next three questions.


Tritium is a radioactive form of the element hydrogen. A tritium nucleus is composed of one proton and two neutrons. When a tritium nucleus decays, it emits a beta particle (an electron) and an antineutrino to create a stable form of helium. During beta decay, a neutron is spontaneously transformed into a proton, an electron, and an antineutrino.

52. What is the total number of quarks in a tritium nucleus? [1]

53. What is the total charge, in elementary charges, of a proton, an electron, and an antineutrino? [1]

54. What fundamental interaction is responsible for binding together the protons and neutrons in a helium nucleus? [1]

62. Thunder results from the expansion of air as lightning passes through it. The distance between an observer and a lightning strike may be determined if the time that elapses between the observer seeing the lightning and hearing the thunder is known. Explain why the lightning strike is seen before the thunder is heard. [1]

63.–64. A bolt of lightning transfers 28 coulombs of charge through an electric potential difference of 3.2 × 107 volts between a cloud and the ground in 1.5 × 10−3 second. Calculate the average electric current between the cloud and the ground during this transfer of charge. [Show all work, including the equation and substitution with units.] [2]
