    HSC Physics Marathon 2013-2015 Archive

    re: HSC Physics Marathon Archive For DC motors, a changing flux caused by relative motion between an external magnetic field and the motor coils will induce an EMF induces a current that creates a magnetic field to oppose the change that caused it in the first place. In contrast, a changing...

    >>>>>>Thesis statement for discovery<<<<<

    I think the most powerful theses are those that can point out that discoveries can facilitate a fresh/renewed understanding of the world and people because it's a broad and versatile statement With this point in mind, also mention the texts that you are writing about, and then find a key...

    DC motor questions

    Cool. I was also thinking, consider your statement: torque ∝ 1/speed of rotation As the speed of rotation approaches 0, i.e. the motor becomes stationary, then the torque experienced by the motor approaches infinity! Therefore, the rotational force, when rotational speed is really small is...

    DC motor questions

    What makes you think that? I think to make the rotational speed increase, more rotational kinetic energy is required, and hence, more rotational force (torque) must be experienced by the coil So they are probably proportional

    Features of Aether Model (HSC Q)

    I think a property is something that the aether HAS, and a feature is like functions of the aether model For example, properties include: Low density Transparent High elasticity and features include: Filled all of space Permeated all matter Stationary/absolute frame of reference

    2015ers Chit-Chat Thread

    I loved the quote "we shall meet in a place where there is no darkness," But behind the characters and the plot, the underlying message seems to be a critique of the totalitarian society that most were living in at the time. I think the book may have been influential to the audience as they may...

    Integration Question

    They gave you nothing at all? I'm pretty sure integrating cosecx is not required by the 3U syllabus

    Surfing Book- Space Topic Test Question

    Well here's my 2 cents.. I was just wondering, if there was a net force, then would it still be considered a stable orbit? A net force would cause it to deviate from its circular path i think

    Lenz's Law requirements

    What it looks like in those questions is that F represents the 'applied force' on the conductor, and so, the force due to the induced current is in the opposite direction. So basically, reverse the direction of F and then use RHP rule. e.g. for b, the new F is to the right, and current directed...

    Lenz's Law requirements

    No, I stated that the induced current creates the opposing force, or opposing change in flux, not the EMF.
