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.
Describe electricity generation via photovoltaic cells and the role of inverters in converting DC to AC.
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.
Analyse transformer action.
Analyse the supply of the transmission of power.
