What examiners said
Candidates found the switch easier to identify then the lamp. The cell proved difficult with most thinking it represented a battery.
— Examiner report, May/June 2025, 0973/32 Q12(a)(i) (Cambridge)
Candidates were generally able to draw the three components in series. Care must be taken not to leave gaps in the circuit, particularly around the cell.
— Examiner report, May/June 2025, 0973/32 Q12(a)(ii) (Cambridge)
Most candidates identified the component as a resistor, but not all stated that it was a variable resistor.
