In reality, they are produced but in HSC, you say they are not produced.

As above. As soon as there is a slit, there is no loop for the eddy currents to flow around in.

This is one of the scenarios where if you know too much (I.e., what REALLY happens) you will get it wrong.

Any other 'scenarios' regarding the HSC exams?

Just finished generators. Stupid question though. If i kept turning my charger on and off would it charge faster as there is little back emf?

No. Mains supply is 240 V 50 Hz AC. Also, the charger will behave as two inductors for a transformer setup. The secondary end will be it's own circuit. AC analysis is something completely out of the scope of HSC level work, but the inductor will have a relative impedance and hence a phasor voltage and phasor current which will be dependent of the AC voltage input.

Good question, but requires a more in depth analysis of what is going on.

re: HSC Physics Marathon Archive

- lenz's law states that an emf induced as a consequence of faraday's law will induced a current in such a direction that the mag. field it produces opposes the motion of the mag. flux that produced it -> production of back eddy currents...
- prev. conceived as an inefficient energy transformation due to the formation of eddy currents that oppose the supplied emf/current -> thus transformers (as an ex.) are unable to ideally transform 100% of the energy input + power transmission energy loss -> costing society both money, resources and production supply -> environmental effects etc.

would this be a part of the marking crit?

wouldnt get full marks..you have to speak about specific technologys like induction cook tops, electromagnetic brakes ect..
2 marks goes to defining lens law and eddy currents. you didnt define new technologys but stated the problems with the old ones

re: HSC Physics Marathon Archive

Really good question to test understanding.
"The slingshot effect can increase the speed of a spacecraft""
Explain how this can be true in some frames of reference but not in others.

By the way, it's spelt Lenz's Law (the guy's name was Lenz). (Just saying in case the markers are pedantic and take off marks if you write 'Len's' instead of 'Lenz's'.)

- gravitational field of a planet 'pulls' a spacecraft in -> accelerating as it comes in and decelerating as it leaves relative to the planet
- as the planet rotates about the sun, its angular momentum is transferred to the spacecraft giving it a velocity boost relative to the sun

The acceleration of the planet is greater than the deceleration of the planet when leaving. The answer is :
According to the planet there is no change in velocity while in the frame of reference of the sun the spaceship gained speed.
If youre on a planet and you see a spaceship use the slingshot effect there would be no change in speed from your perspective:)

I remember there was something "relative to the planet" as well :O
