VCE Module
Students will learn about the generation and transmission of electricity.

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.
