Physics Unit 3 AOS 3 - How are fields used in electricity generation?
This unit is composed of two different modules that can be completed individually (approximately 4 hours each). The modules include:
Physics Unit 3 AOS 3: 3.1 - Generation of electricity
Students will use interactive activities including simulations, videos and apps, to:
Calculate magnetic flux when the magnetic field is perpendicular to the area
Investigate and analyse the generation of electromotive force
Explain the production of DC voltage in DC generators and AC voltage in alternators
Physics Unit 3 AOS 3: 3.2 - Transmission of electricity
Students will use interactive activities including simulations, videos and apps, to:
Compare sinusoidal AC voltages in a constant magnetic field
Compare alternating voltage expressed as the rms to a constant DC voltage
Convert between rms, peak and peak-to-peak values of voltage and current
Analyse transformer action
Analyse the supply of the transmission of power
Identify the advantages of using AC power as a domestic power supply.
