What did everyone think? The onslaught of 4 markers was a bit nasty... Would have liked the time to check writing in French, otherwise I was pretty happy. Pas d'école c'est la farandole! (Apologies to SAC and German Ext and other people :P )

There's 60ish in Continuers and 20ish in Extension. Learning through distance ed is ok cos our teacher is awesome :) Oh well, at least you didn't have "(1st in NSW)" or something after ag.

Yes, but all the current will go through the wire X/Y instead of the voltmeter, which is connected in parallel. I know the Board is crap for almost all of the syllabus, and this question was certainly verging on being year 11 (and identifying which wire was which probably shouldn't have been...

lol yeah I know that, but it doesn't really count as a trend until someone else does it :) Having ranked 1st at Open High I hoped I had a chance but I doubt that now, didn't do a particularly good job of the writing... You had a billion units on your signature, including philo, and I heard...

So you're planning on starting an ag-french trend then, James? :P I think it was something about randonner, meaning to go walking/hiking.

I think it's because before testing X and Y you don't know whether they have appreciable resistance. If not, then without the resistor it will short circuit.

The voltmeter only measured the voltage drop across X/Y as adnan said, and so you don't need to subtract 2 ohms. The resistor will result in decreased current through the circuit compared to if it weren't there, but the voltage drop across X/Y will decrease in proportion. I doubt that they would...

Thanks buchanan. All 4 names is a bit excessive, isn't it ;)? (It wasn't my choice.) Don't worry Zephyrio, I also wouldn't mind having topped 2u.

I see that this thread has all but died, but I just want to add that I don't actually reckon I got 120/120. I'm curious who your source is ssglain ;). 'According to Terry Lee's solutions I should have got' 120/120 (trusting my memory a few hours after the exam too). But despite my being...
