the 8 marker was baddd.. hopefully pulled up to 5-6

Something on the battle of currents with how westinghouse was more inclined to use eddy currents. And then you had to analyse the statement using modern applications of eddy currents and their drawbacks or some shiz...
My structure was:
- Lenzs law and how eddy current are formed
- How westinghouse was a proponent of AC current for its advantages
- How AC current can easily be stepped up/stepped down according to eddy currents in a transformer
- How eddy currents forming in the iron core of the transformer is a drawback so they use layers separated by insulating material
- Eddy currents in cooktops
Hopefully at least a 6
wow last year CSSA had a very similar question as well in fact it was extremely similar :S
Ahk yer, pretty doable test I reckon... i fucked up half yearly so bad with 54% and I had only studied like 4 hrs for this so was not very confident, but got most of it I think hahaha :S... hopefully 70%+
Still left out 5 marks tho
ahh well... I fuckn hate physics lolRe: Question on difficulty of CSSA physics
what was the 8 marker this year?
heaps of ppl feel that when they come out of an exam, but most end up feeling positively surprised when they get their tests back.

oh well, either way if you work really hard for the HSC, you'll be able to pull your mark up by heaps! it contributes to 1/2 ur mark, so u can work wonders with that if you study.Ahk yer, pretty doable test I reckon... i fucked up half yearly so bad with 54% and I had only studied like 4 hrs for this so was not very confident, but got most of it I think hahaha :S... hopefully 70%+

what was the 5 marker that you left out?
Re: Question on difficulty of CSSA physics
But as for this feeling I don't really get it that often cause usually I don't stress in exams (never really have) except today.
I'm just praying that you're right and it is one of those common feelings.
The 8 marker was on eddy current: production, problems, uses and there was a bit on Westinghouse and Edison.

Re: Question on difficulty of CSSA physics
yeah, sometimes when you find a paper doable you think it is difficult, bcs u except not to be able to answer most of the questions. However best of Luck, pretty sure once you rest and take a break, you might realise that you didn't stuff up like you think you did! Which module were most of the questions based on?
i left out a three marker and a two marker (which was in our replacement questions) can't remember them tho
Re: Question on difficulty of CSSA physics
Hopefully you're right.
I think it was all evenly spaced out except there may not have been enough on Ideas but there was quite a bit on motors and generators, space was average.

What was the question?
Re: Question on difficulty of CSSA physics
My test was like 50% ideas! sometimes I wished we did CSSA! would you remember any of the higher order mark questions?
