    Superconductivity Questions

    Eddy currents are not a force, which is what he was asking about. The "eddy currents " produce a magnetic field. The interaction of the two magnetic fields produces the repulsive magnetic force I was talking about.

    Superconductivity Questions

    I'm assuming your asking about the meissner effect and levitation. So repulsive magnetic force supporting the magnet equaling the gravititational force pushing down.

    OMG School marks don't count at all?

    Please go back and read the original thread. http://community.boredofstudies.org/134/uai-hsc-marks-technical-arcana/6642/explanation-hsc-marks-moderating.html http://users.on.net/unix/HSCmarks.pdf Yes your rank is important but the gaps in assessment marks also have an influence.

    Please help => The production and reception of radio waves

    That was my worry about the solution

    Please help => The production and reception of radio waves

    Any spark is going to be a transmitter. A small crystal radio could act as a receiver. Not sure how succesful the strength of the signal will be.

    Left hand thumb rule and Right Hand thumb Rule

    The right hand grip rule is specified for determining the direction of a magnetic field around a current carrying wire. To determine the direction of a force or induced current in motors and generators there is no rule specified. The rule I mentioned above is commonly known as the "right...

    Left hand thumb rule and Right Hand thumb Rule

    It is personal on which rules you use. I prefer to only use the right hand palm rule. The thumb of your right hand always represents the current. (One current, One thumb) The fingers of hand represent the magnetic field lines (Many lines, many fingers) The direction of the palm is the direction...

    Discharge Tube Pics

    Standard air pressure is 760 mm Hg. Your tubes are calibrated with an old mercury barometer, where they measured air pressure based on the difference in level between two tubes of mercury or the outside level and that in a vacuum http://www.met.tamu.edu/class/Metr304/Pressuredir/pressure-pg9.html

    Cathode rays and aether

    It doesn't so without the question and your answer I can't see why you received the mark

    AC induction motor

    Both. The rotaing magnetic field produces eddy currents to oppose the change in flux. The interaction between the original magnetic and magnetic field of the eddy currents produce a torque rotating the motor.

    Induction Motor

    The AC induction motor is the only AC motor you have to describe. Squirrel cage is an example of the AC induction motor. You have to read dotpoints as a group not individually when working out what you have to know.

    Raw Assessment Mark Scaling

    It is the ranks and the gap between the marks. There are no gaps in ranks.

    how does rank work?

    This is incorrect as explained in the thread on moderation. http://community.boredofstudies.org/134/uai-hsc-marks-technical-arcana/6642/explanation-hsc-marks-moderating.html The full process is explained in the pdf document http://www.users.on.net/~unix/HSCmarks.pdf

    Do ranks average out ???

    No, the subject performance descriptors are not comparable between subjects.

    Motor buliding Catastrophe!

    Try just a wire loop with nothing inside, except a light wooden axle. Couple ideas at: http://www.scientrific.com.au/PDFs/em2193-201.pdf http://home.hiwaay.net/~palmer/motor.html

    UAI: rankings, schools, internal marks. Help?

    The gap in your assessment marks is whaat counts more than the raw marks. So as well as aiming for the highest rank as possible. If you are not going to obtain first, then aim for the smallest gap possible behind the people ahead of you and the largest possible above the people behind you.

    What is the best option?

    This is very dependent on you. If you are going to apply yourself and top your year in each subject, then the rest of your school has no effect on you. If you work better in a "hot house", where you are striving to beat everyone else and raise according to the level of the competition then you...

    HSC2005 Question

    Like it or not they weren't after the trajectory around the moon based on: The only way home for the astronauts was to fly around the back of the Moon and then fire the rocket engine to take the craft out of lunar orbit and put it into an Earth-bound trajectory. At the completion of the...

    Can anyone help?

    s is displacement not time. u=0 as it is assuming they are just falling, not diving down. "falling vertically from rest" The squared for a is in the units, you don't apply it to the formula
