INSTRUCTIONS TO THE MARKERS
1. All questions with multiple answers imply that any relevant, acceptable answer
should be considered.
2. Calculations:
2.1 All calculations must show the formulae.
2.2 Substitution of values must be done correctly.
2.3 All answers MUST contain the correct unit to be considered.
2.4 Alternative methods must be considered, provided that the correct
answer is obtained.
2.5 Where an incorrect answer could be carried over to the next step, the
first answer will be deemed incorrect. However, should the incorrect
answer be carried over correctly, the marker has to recalculate the
values, using the incorrect answer from the first calculation. If correctly
used, the candidate should receive the full marks for subsequent
calculations.
2.6 Markers should consider that candidates' answers may deviate slightly
from the marking guidelines, depending on how and where in the
calculation rounding off was used.
3. This marking guideline is only a guide with model answers. Alternative
interpretations must be considered and marked on merit. However, this principle
should be applied consistently.

QUESTION 1: OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH AND SAFETY
1.1 The purpose of the Occupational Health and Safety Act is: to provide for the
health and safety of persons at work and the health and safety of persons in
connection with the use of plant and machinery; 9 the protection of persons
other than persons at work against hazards to health and safety arising out of
or in connection with the activities of persons at work. 9 (2)
1.2 Alternating current (AC) such as from the main supply, causes the muscles in
the body to contract 9 and if the current is high enough one would not be able
to ‘let go’ of the live wire causing the electric shock. 9Typical ‘let go’ current
is about 0,007 ampere (7 milli-amp). (2)
1.3 x Faulty tools or equipment 9
x Poor ventilation
x Poor or missing guards
x Excessive noise
x Lack of knowledge of emergency procedures
(Any relevant answer) 9 (1)
1.4 x Horseplay9
x Running in the workshop
x Throwing things around
x Leaving bags, stools or material in walkway
x Spilling a liquid or oil without cleaning
(Any relevant answer) 9 (1)
1.5 x Keep the person lying down
x Cover the person to maintain body heat9
x Don’t move the person in case of neck or spine injuries
x If unconscious, put them on their side (recovery position)
x Keep a close watch on the patient’s colour, raising the head or legs to

4.2 4.2.1 Bi-stable multivibrator 9 (1)
4.2.2 x This op amp operates as a comparator. 9
x Any difference between its two input causes its output to go into
either positive saturation (+VSAT) or negative saturation (-VSAT). 9
x The non-inverting input is fed by a fraction of the output voltage
fed-back from the voltage divider pair of R2 and R3. 9
x If the output voltage is high (+VSAT) then the non-inverting terminal
voltage will be a smaller positive voltageand if the output is low
(-VSAT) the non-inverting input terminal voltage will be a smaller
negative voltage. 9 (4)
4.3 x De-bouncing 9
x Varying the time period 9 (2)
4.4
(3)
4.5 x It is widely used in the first stages of many radio receivers, especially in
digital applications where it is used to clean up a signal which has been
distorted of which has had some noise added during its transmission
through the air. 9
x In digital circuitry noise is often introduced into a system via switch bounce
which can cause a number of unwanted voltage spikes to appear during
the switching-on period. 9
x Varying input waveforms, for example a sine wave can be changed into a
square or rectangular wave. 9
x A signal can be successfully recovered using a Schmitt trigger even after
having suffered severe distortion as the circuit will only sense a single level
change, so eliminating all other noise spikes. 9 (4)

4.11 x The op-amp’s inputs draw zero current so any input current is passed
through to the feedback circuit. 9
x The op-amp’s two inputs are viewed as both possessing the same
voltage at all times, 9 if the lower input is connected to ground, this
introduces the virtual earth concept. 9
x When a constant current is fed to a capacitor, it will charge at a constant
fixed rate rather than exponential. (3)

5.9.3 It makes use of the inductive coupling properties of the transformer
to couple 2 stages together. 9It matches 2 different impedances
while at the same time separating the DC circuits 9 and acts as a
buffer. 9 (3)
5.10 Both circuits use LC tank circuits: 9 the Hartley oscillator uses a single
capacitor with two inductors with their centre point coupled to the emitter.9
The Colpitts oscillator uses a single inductor with two capacitors,9with
