PHYSICS EXAMINATIONS – 2013

This comprehensive guide for the 2013 Physics examinations emphasizes essential study tips and examination strategies. Key areas include the importance of marking allocation, logical presentation of working, and the need for clear explanations that directly address the question. Specific concerns highlight complex topics such as vectors in Newton’s laws, series circuits, and the distinctions in electromagnetic concepts. Students are advised on using calculators, showing working steps, and the significance of rounding and significant figures. Equip yourself with these insights to excel in your Physics assessments.

  1. PHYSICS EXAMINATIONS – 2013 Bruce Walsh Chief Assessor

  2. REMINDERS • Study design and textbooks • Examiners report • VASS system • SSMS • On line marking

  3. GENERAL ADVICE • Mark allocation • Writing implements • Multiple attempts • Logical set out of working

  4. GENERAL ADVICE • Explanations must address specific question. Writing everything can lead to contradictions. Dot points good. Diagrams and formulae can help. • Show working • Use unit in answer box

  5. GENERAL ADVICE • Show numbers substituted into formulae • Formulae (including derived) must be correct • Calculators – sci mode, no truncation • Rounding

  6. GENERAL ADVICE • Answers as simplified decimals • Significant figures • Vectors should originate from point of application • Realistic answers • A

  7. SPECIFIC CONCERNS • Vectors in Newton’s second & constant acceleration equations • Connected bodies • Energy conversion and conservation • Unit conversions • More complex projectile motion

  8. SPECIFIC CONCERNS • Series circuits • Confusion with Faraday’s and Lenz’s laws • Understanding of flux and EMF • Photoelectric effect • Path difference in interference • Distinction between matter & electromagnetic radiation
