    Quick question

    Geez, i dunno!?!? Some stuff to consider could be: - Leakage flux - Energy losses due to eddy currents - Energy losses due to resistance of copper windings - Effect of frequency on EMF - The Equation you were given suggests that transformers can work with DC and all frequencies of AC. The...

    Year 11: Dodgey Physics Teacher

    Physics in Focus book is pretty basic. It's not bad for some of the qualitative syllabus points, but I would recommend it as a supplement rather than as a textbook. I use some material from it when I tutor and the students have already been over that topic Jacaranda or In2 Physics are good...

    Space: Trajectory Q

    They are perpendicular to eachother. Perpendiuclar components of motion are independent of eachother. You cannot influence the motion of an object in the desired direction by applying a component of motion perpendicular to the desired direction. Eg, you cannot open a door by lifting it up...

    Power, Current and Voltage

    Power: Measured in Watts, which equivalent unit is Joules/sec. It is the rate at which energy is used. Example a 100W device uses 100J of Energy per second. Current: Measured in Amperes, it's equivalent unit is Coulombs/second. It is the rate at which charge flows past a certain point. A...

    But Sir, I don't want to do Medical Physics!

    It's funny, people hear the name and they think it's going to be really hard because it has got 2 words in it which they probably don't know the meaning of. They hear "quanta" and think "quantum physics" and start thinking its going to be like Mathematics Extension 50 or something. It's an...

    But Sir, I don't want to do Medical Physics!

    I got the stats not too long ago, Q2Q was by far the most popular (42% of the state or so), Med Physics was high 20s and Astrophysics was low 20s. The others were in single digits. Q2Q is very interesting and a good follow up to I2I, in fact, some of the stuff which was in the 2001 I2I course...

    dot point help

    Computers - faster switching speeds Generators - More efficient production of electricity (superconducting generators approx 99.85% efficient where typical generatotrs are 95% efficient) Transmission of electricity - No heat loss through cables, (P=I^2*R and R=0) therefore more efficient...

    Michelson-Morley Experiment

    - Description of what the experiment intended to find out - Description of the experiment itself - Description of results - Analysis of what these results meant - Discussion on how these results changed scientific thinking I reckon that would be pretty decent

    String Theory

    String theory is basically defunct now. It was "the thing" back in the 80s and 90s. Look into "M theory" -- its an extension of String theory. :) Stuff is interesting. It's a real pity there are no universities that go further into it, unless you do postgraduate research. You should check...
