Electromagnetism Equations Explained For HSC Physics

HSC Physics Syllabus

  • analyse the interaction between charged particles and uniform magnetic fields, including: (ACSPH083)
– acceleration, perpendicular to the field, of charged particles
– the force on the charge `F=qv_(_|_)B = qvBsintheta`
  • investigate qualitatively and quantitatively the interaction between a current-carrying conductor and a uniform magnetic field `F=lI_{_|_}B=lIB\sin\theta` to establish: (ACSPH080, ACSPH081)
  • analyse the interaction between two parallel current-carrying wires `F/l=\mu_0/(2\pi) (I_1 I_2)/r` and determine the relationship between the International System of Units (SI) definition of an ampere and Newton's Third Law of Motion.
  • investigate the operation of a simple DC motor to analyse:
  • – the functions of its components

    – production of a torque `\tau = nIAB_(_|_) sin \theta`

    – effects of back emf (ACSPH108)
