everything you remember about magnets and

electromagnets

Electromagnets

Electromagnets differ from normal magnets in one major way! They are made by passing an electric current through a wire that has been wrapped around iron. The current creates a

magnetic field and magnetises the iron core. When the current is turned off the iron loses its magnetism

LO: Understand the uses of electromagnets

Practical – Electromagnetic strength

1. Increasing the number of coils on an electromagnet will increase the strength of an electromagnet

2. Certain cores will make an electromagnet stronger than others

Electric Motor

LO: Understand how electromagnets can be used to make things move

An electric motor uses the motor effect of electromagnets to create motion. • The force on one side

of the wire causes it to move up

• The force on the other side of the wire causes it to move down

• The motor rotates!

Understand how transformers work

ALL – State the function of step up and step down transformers MOST – Explain how transformers work and perform transformer calculations SOME – Explain why values from equations are just an approximation

Step-up and Step-down

Transformers are an essential part of the national grid. They help to increase the voltage after the power station and help to decrease it again when it gets to your house.

LO: Understand how transformers work

How do transformers work?

Discuss with the people on your pod how transformers work. Remember the following: • The only work with an a.c.

current • They need to have an iron

core • They use electromagnetic

induction to work

LO: Understand how transformers work

How transformers work

1. The alternating current in the primary coil makes the iron core into an electromagnetic

2. As the current is alternating, the magnetic field ‘moves’ and also changes direction

3. This ‘moving’ magnetic field causes a current to be induced in the secondary coil

4. If the number of coils on the secondary is higher, the potential difference will increase and it is a step-up transformer

5. If the number of coils on the secondary is lower, the potential difference will decrease and it is a step-down transformer

LO: Understand how transformers work

Starter Recap questions

Further notes on Ultrasound

Besides using ultrasound to create pictures of babies, they can also be used to treat kidney stones! Kidney stones are small lumps that can form in the kidneys. They are formed when small crystals of waste products filtered by the kidneys build up. When they are formed, your body will try to pass them out through the urine. However, they can sometimes get stuck in this process and cause immense pain!

LO: Understand how physics can be applied to medicine

Further notes on Ultrasound

Ultrasound can be used to treat kidney stones. Ultrasound is usually very high frequency (>20000Hz) outside of the range of human hearing. If it is directed at the kidney stones, the high frequency sound can break them up into smaller pieces and make it easier for them to pass out through the urine!

LO: Understand how physics can be applied to medicine

Distance between interfaces

The distance to an object can be found using information from an ultrasound. It can be found using the following equation:

S = V x T

LO: Understand how physics can be applied to medicine

S = Distance (m) V = Velocity of sound (m/s) T = Time (s)

KEYWORDS: refraction, angle of incidence, Angle of refraction, refractive index

Understand the phenomena of

refraction ALL – Describe what happens during refraction MOST – Explain why refraction occurs SOME – State the relationship between the angle of incidence and the angle of refraction

Starter Refraction mind

map

Refraction

Refraction occurs when light moves between two mediums that have a different density. (The word medium just means ‘something that you can travel through’) When light moves into a medium with a higher density, it slows down and will bend towards the normal. When it moves into a less dense medium, it speeds up and bends away from the normal.

LO: Understand the phenomena of refraction

Conclusion: Refraction

What can you conclude about the relationship between the two angles in refraction? Sin of the angle of incidence divided by Sin of the angle of refraction will always be a constant. The value of the constant will change depending on what materials are being used to do refraction (i.e. refraction with air and glass will have a different value to air and water and air an oil etc.)

LO: Understand the phenomena of refraction

Refractive Index

The refractive index of a material is a measure of how much light is refracted by it when it passes through the material. It can be calculated by using the equation:

Refractive index = Sin I / Sin R

LO: Understand the phenomena of refraction

I = angle of incidence R = angle of refraction

KEYWORDS: refraction, angle of incidence, Angle of refraction, refractive index

Understand how total internal reflection

occurs ALL – Describe total internal reflection MOST – Perform calculations for the critical angle of an object SOME – Explain how TIR is utilised through endoscopes and optical fibres

Demonstration: Critical Angle

When performing refraction with a semi-circular block, an interesting phenomena is observed. When the light leaves the block, it bends away from the normal. This is expected as it is moving from a more dense to a less dense medium.

LO: Understand the phenomena of refraction

Demonstration: Critical Angle

As we continue to increase the angle of incidence, we reach a point where the refracted light seems to run across the top of the glass block! The angle at which this happens is called the ‘critical angle’

LO: Understand the phenomena of refraction

Demonstration: Critical Angle

If we increase the angle even more, we can see that the light ray is no longer refracted. Instead, it seems to reflect off inside of the straight edge of the semi-circular block. This is known as total internal reflection We will explore this in greater detail later

LO: Understand the phenomena of refraction

Critical Angle

The critical angle of a material can be found using the following formula:

Refractive index = 1/sin(C)

LO: Understand the phenomena of refraction

Refractive index = property of a material C = Critical angle

KEYWORDS: converging, diverging, lenses, Focal point, virtual, real

Understand how to draw ray diagrams for

lenses

ALL – state the definition of converging and diverging MOST – Draw ray diagrams for lenses SOME – Explain when virtual and real images are formed when using lenses

Starter Make a mind map of all the objects that

you can think of that use lenses!

Converging lens

LO: understand how to draw ray diagrams for lenses

A converging lens is always convex. It makes rays that are coming in that are parallel converge onto a point. The point where the rays converge is called the principal focus, or focal point. Converging lenses are used in magnifying glasses and in cameras.

Diverging lens

LO: understand how to draw ray diagrams for lenses

A diverging lens is always concave. It makes rays that are coming in that are parallel diverge. The point where the rays seem to diverge from is called the principal focus, or focal point. Diverging lenses are used to correct short sight

Real image

LO: understand how to draw ray diagrams for lenses

When an object is really far away from a converging lens, the light rays will be (almost) parallel when they reach the lens. The image that will be formed will be at the focal length. We call this image a real image.

Real image

LO: understand how to draw ray diagrams for lenses

A real image is an image that is formed by a converging lens if the object is further away than the principal focus. The real image will always be smaller than the actual object, inverted and forms after the lens.

Virtual image

LO: understand how to draw ray diagrams for lenses

When the object is close to a lens, the image that is formed will be much larger than the actual size of the object. We call this image a virtual image.

Virtual image

LO: understand how to draw ray diagrams for lenses

A virtual image is formed by a converging lens if the object is nearer to the lens than the focal length. A diverging lens will ALWAYS form a virtual image. The image is always bigger than the object, the right way up and forms before the lens.

Magnification

LO: understand how to draw ray diagrams for lenses

The magnification produced by a lens can be worked out using the following formula

Magnification = image height

object height

Formation of a real image by a converging lens

LO: understand how to draw ray diagrams for lenses

As part of P3, you are required to know how to draw ray diagrams like the one below to show

Although they look very complicated, they are quite easy to draw once you know how

Formation of a real image by a converging lens

LO: understand how to draw ray diagrams for lenses

Drawing ray diagrams for a converging lens is done in 4 easy steps: 1) Draw the principal axis and the lens (always shown as a

line with arrowheads) 2) Draw the object (drawn as a vertical arrow going upwards 3) Draw a line parallel to the principal axis that refracts at the

lens and goes through the focal point 4) Draw a line straight through the principal axis and the lens

line 5) Draw a line that goes through the focal point and refracts

to become parallel at the lens 6) Draw the object on the other side of the lens where the

three construction lines all join up

Uses of Converging lenses

LO: understand how to draw ray diagrams for lenses

This final example shows how a converging lens can be used as a magnifying glass. When an object is placed close to the magnifying glass (closer than the focal length), the object will appear bigger than the actual object. The image formed is virtual (remember the definition!) and will also be the right way up (i.e. not inverted)

Old Skool uses of converging lenses

LO: understand how to draw ray diagrams for lenses

All cameras have a converging lens. This focuses the light from distant objects onto a film at the back of the camera. When the shutter is opened, the film is exposed and a negative is made. The negative can then be developed into the actual picture!

New Skool uses of converging lenses

LO: understand how to draw ray diagrams for lenses

Newer digital cameras work in the same way. However, instead of photographic film at the back of the camera, they have a CCD imager. When the shutter is opened, the CCD is exposed to light and it forms the image.

New Skool uses of converging lenses

LO: understand how to draw ray diagrams for lenses

When an object is placed too close to a camera, it will appear fuzzy. This is because the object is closer to the lens than the focal length and the lens is not able to focus the image properly onto the CCD.

KEYWORDS: converging, diverging, lenses, Focal point, virtual, real

Understand the structure of the eye

ALL – label the different parts of the eye MOST – Describe what different parts of the eye do SOME – Explain how converging and diverging lenses can be used to correct for vision problems

How the eye works

Regardless of if you are looking at an object very close to you or very far away, your eye is able to focus and you are able to see the object clearly. How is your eye able to refocus based on where the object is?

LO: understand the structure of the eye

How the eye works

1. When light enters the eye, the ciliary muscles change the thickness of the lens

2. The light is focused by your lens onto the retina

3. The light sensitive cells in the retina send electrical impulses through the optic nerve to your brain

4. Your brain processes these impulses and shows you what the object looks like

LO: understand the structure of the eye

What happens if too much light

suddenly enters the eye?

Correcting vision

By using our understanding of how

the eye works and how lenses work, we can

design glasses to correct for sight problems

LO: understand the structure of the eye

Short sight

In a normal eye, the lens focuses the image exactly on the retina. However, in the eye of a person with Myopia (short sighted), the image is formed before the retina. This leads to a blurred image.

LO: understand the structure of the eye

Correcting short sight

Short sight can be corrected by glasses that have a concave (diverging) lens. This causes the light rays to diffract outwards slightly as they pass the lens so that they are focused exactly on the retina by the lens in the eye.

LO: understand the structure of the eye

Long sight

In a person with ‘hyperopia’ (long sight), the image is not correctly focused onto the retina by the eye lens. The image is focused behind the retina, leading to a blurry image. How can we correct this?

LO: understand the structure of the eye

Correcting long sight

Long sight can be corrected by using a convex (converging) lens. This causes the light rays to converge slightly before they hit the lens so that they are refracted perfectly onto the retina.

LO: understand the structure of the eye

Power of a lens

The power of a lens can be worked out using the following equation:

Power = 1

LO: understand the structure of the eye

Focal length

Power = Dioptre (D) Focal length = m

To understand how objects balance

ALL – State the definition of a moment MOST – Perform moment calculations SOME – Explain how objects balance using the concept of moments

What is a moment?

When the mass is placed on the left-hand side of the see-saw, it moves down. This is an anticlockwise turn

The turning effect of a force is called a moment

LO: Understand how things balance

pivot

Calculating moments

The moment of a force is calculated from:

Moment = force x distance from pivot

m = f x d

LO: Understand how things balance

Moment = Newton – Metres (Nm) Force = Newtons (N) Distance = metres (m)

Example 1

Gina weighs 500 N and stands on one end of a seesaw. She is 0.5 m from the pivot. What moment does she

exert?

LO: Understand how things balance

moment = 500 x 0.5

= 250 Nm

0.5 m

500 N pivot

Example 2

If a force of 20 N presses down at a distance of 3 m from a pivot, its moment is:

Moment = 20 N x 3 m = 60 Nm

LO: Understand how things balance

Example 3

If a force of 30 N presses down at a distance of 4 m from a pivot, its moment is:

Moment = 30 N x 4 m = 60 Nm

LO: Understand how things balance

Moments in balance

A seesaw is an example of the principle of moments. This states that for an object in equilibrium (not moving!) the sum of all the clockwise moments about any point is equal to the sum of all the anticlockwise moments about the same point.

Clockwise moments = anticlockwise moments W1 x D1 = W2 x D2

LO: Understand how things balance

Calculating moments

Task: Answer the questions on calculating moments on the worksheet. The second side is more difficult than the

first! Moment = force x distance from pivot

For all objects, their mass is spread out over

the whole object. However, this is not

useful to us as Physicists!

Centre of Mass

LO: Understand what is meant by centre of mass

The centre of mass of an object is that point at which the mass may

thought to be concentrated

Finding the centre of mass

LO: Understand what is meant by centre of mass

The centre of mass of complicated objects can be incredibly difficult to

find. However, for simple, symmetrical

objects, the COM can be easily found!

Centre of mass of symmetrical objects

LO: Understand what is meant by centre of mass

The centre of mass of symmetrical objects

ALWAYS lies along the line of symmetry of the

object. Where the object has more than one line of symmetry, the COM will be at the

point where the lines of symmetry intersect

Suspended objects

LO: Understand what is meant by centre of mass

If you suspend an object and then release it, it

will soon come to a rest. When this happens, the centre of mass will be

directly below the point of suspension. The

object can be said to be in equilibrium.

Demo

Irregular shapes

LO: Understand what is meant by centre of mass

The centre of mass of an irregular shape can be found by using the apparatus shown. The shape is hung from a point and a plumbline used to draw the region in which the COM lies.

This is done repeatedly with the mass hung from different

points. The point where all the lines intersect is the COM!

Starter Challenge

starter!

The designers of this bus are worried that it will topple over. They are testing it to find out the

maximum angle it can go to before this happens. Using your knowledge of science and as many

scientific terms as possible, explain WHY this bus is likely to topple over easily!

Keywords: • Centre of mass • Moment • Pivot • Base • Topple

Stable objects

Although the design of cars has changed drastically over the last 100 years, a number

of things have remained constant. Amongst them is

to keep cars as low as possible. This means that the centre of mass of the

car is low and it is less likely to topple over!

LO: understand how to design stable objects

Why do objects tips over?

The weight of an object acts through the centre of mass.

As the object is initially tilted, the weight is causing an anticlockwise moment

about the pivot. If the object is let go, the moment will cause the object to go

back onto its base.

LO: understand how to design stable objects

Why do objects tips over?

As the object continues to be tilted, you will reach a

point where the weight will go exactly through the pivot.

LO: understand how to design stable objects

Why do objects tips over?

When the object has been tilted beyond a certain

point, the weight will now cause a clockwise moment

about the pivot. If the object is let go, the moment

will cause the object to topple over!

as it will affect the maximum speed that a driver can go around a

corner.

High chairs

LO: understand how to design stable objects

A high chair has a centre of mass that is very high off the ground. This can

tangent to the circle • The velocity changes

as the object moves around the circle

• The velocity keeps the object orbiting in a circle

LO: understand the motion of a pendulum

Time period

The time period of a pendulum is the time it takes for a pendulum to complete one full cycle of motion. The easiest way to measure this is the time it takes for the pendulum to swing from one side of the pendulum to the other side and back again.
