Q104•Long Answer•[5 Marks]

Explain the process of photosynthesis, detailing the role of chlorophyll, sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water in the formation of glucose and oxygen. Include the balanced chemical equation for photosynthesis and discuss the factors that affect this process, such as light intensity, temperature, and carbon dioxide concentration.

Q105•Long Answer•[5 Marks]

A straight conductor carries a current of 5 A. If the magnetic field strength at a point 10 cm away from the conductor is measured, explain how to calculate the magnetic field using the formula B = (μ₀I)/(2πr). Discuss the significance of the right-hand thumb rule in determining the direction of the magnetic field produced by the current-carrying conductor.

Q106•Long Answer•[5 Marks]

Discuss the impact of waste disposal on the environment, particularly focusing on how the addition of different types of waste (biodegradable and non-biodegradable) affects soil, water, and air quality. Explain the processes involved in the degradation of these wastes and the long-term consequences for ecosystems. Provide examples to illustrate your points.
