Continue Questions 7 - 11





Conmbine F=BIlsin(theta) and t =Fxr to work out the torque on a motor loop.



Todays classwork has been scan, it will be marked and publish as book.



A good video of electron beam deflection warning, doing this will wreck you TV

A few good pictures of deflect ebeam

Lesson 2

More Revision: Solenoid - coils of wire. How do you find the pole? What increases the strength of the field?

Motor Effect - Page 113
From Right hand slap rule- size of Force is due to magnetic field, Length of conductor, orientation of conductor, current
  1. F Force N newtons
  2. B Magnetic Field Strenght T teslas
  3. l Length m meters
  4. I Current A amps
  5. Sin (Theta) (zero if conductor points along the field)

F=BIlsin (Theta)

Next you will learn Torque or turning force about an axis. Torque in an electric motor. Monday will be a demonstration of a magnetic field right hand slapping electrons.

for a good summary for advanced students go to Phet

About Me

My photo
I come from a Science family: My father Geoffrey Hill was Australia's first computer programmer on CSIRAC the fourth computer in the world. He is credited with invention of Computer music and the development of “Interprogram” a language before Basic. My PhD is in Atomic and Molecular Physics. I have researched the activated oxygen layer above the ozone layer, and 'Assigned' the world's smallest molecule. At the University of Toronto I researched high power UV lasers. I have specialized in automation in fibre optics. This developed into research in Machine Intellect and Robots. I have enjoyed work as an Explainer with Questacon and my time as a part-time soldier. I currently teach High School Science at Epping Boys’ High.
