A is the most incorrect one. Where I found this? Calculate it yourself, take like 10 seconds. That's why there is a lot of misunderstanding when replying to people who had picked C.

Don't know if it is C or D though, but I think it is C because the orientation of the coil does not matter as long as it is perpendicular to the magnetic field lines. (Oh wait, I think it does, so it must be D then because there are higher probability people will choose C due to 2 different circumstances I have described above. Therefore, BOS being so evil, wanted perfection from us. So yeah, I now think question 7 is D).

No, you are not serious. You got everything wrong I believe (except 7 and 13)

This is the most correct answer at the moment (the only ambiguous one is 9):
1. C
2. B
3. D
4. B
5. D
6. A
7. D
8. A
9. B
10. A

Tell me how can you get A?

Question 3 is aether thing. You referred to question 4 which is yes.

10. A (Look at few post above for some discussion about this)

You got 14/15 if 9 is B which I gradually believe to be true.

Are you sure you are not confusing current with conventional current? I assume throughout the physics course we take it as conventional current whenever "current" word appears, otherwise it will be called electron.

I put C for Question 9. It's definitely not A - it's a homopolar generator. It's not D either, it can't be AC as there's no change in the polarity - as the metal disc is always rotating in the same direction, relative to the static components (brushes/magnets/indicator). So that leaves B or C.

There's a picture on Page 5 of this thread with a diagram of a homopolar generator, and the accompanying post saying that it indicates the answer is B - might I point out, the orientation of the magnets in that picture is the opposite to whats in the exam paper.
syper said:
Nah pretty sure it's B


Also, Homopolar motors operate on a similar principle, as in, they don't need a commutator or slip rings etc, and yet operate on DC power. It's easy to make one too, and fun to mess around with :)

See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homopolar_motor

My answers:
1 C
2 B
3 D [Typo before]
4 B
5 D
6 A
7 B [wrong]
8 C [questionable - negative magnetic flux??]
9 C [as above]
10 B [no idea, probably wrong]
11 A
12 C
13 D
14 C
15 A

@StYlez - 13/15, if 9 is B.
7 is D (look at it again, it is sin90, the 45 is just to trick you)
10 is A (It is DC)

@nath_quam - 13/15 if 9 is B.
5 is D (using Kepler's Third Law. How did you get C?)
7 is D (look at the diagram again, it is sin90, the 45 is just to trick you OR you probably used sin90 but the length should be the diagonal length of the square magnetic field)

@matty fwd - Question 9 is the only one upped for debate.

I don't know about homopolar or whatever generator but I think we only need to know AC and DC Generators for the HSC Physics syllabus, unless I missed a dotpoint or two in section 9.1 of syllabus or third column.

9 is not C. Using the right hand rule the magnetic field goes from north to south. And the motion through it from right to left. So thr conventional current gets pushed down and around. The only contention could be as to whether no current was flowing at all. But since everyone else here has confirmed that current flows, the answer is B. even my physics teacher said it was b
