Are you sure that the answer to Q6 is 'Concave'?!

And also, on Q4, as well as the first answer, if the wires aren't insulated then short-circuiting will occur so doesn't this mean that the answer 'The transformer wouldn't work otherwise' would also be a valid answer??

I was just wondering - thanks :)

Answer to number 2 should surely be false? Elements "up to iron" are created in a big star, then when it turns into a supernova these combine to form even heavier elements.

I agree with Miranda
