- 6th March 1960State what happens to the current in a series circuit if an extra identical bulb is added, assuming the battery voltage stays the same.
- 7th March 1960Name the organ system that carries electrical signals around the body to allow a fast reflex reaction, such as pulling a hand away from something hot.

- 12th March 1960In a report, a word is defined as follows: 'The submersible's hull must withstand immense pressure at such depths, where a single flaw could prove catastrophic.' What does 'catastrophic' mean here?
