Contents:
Space: The Earth has a gravitational field that exerts a force on objects both on it and around itMany factors have to be taken into account to achieve a successful rocket launch, maintain a stable orbit and ensure a safe return to EarthThe Solar System is held together by GravityCurrent and emerging understanding about Time and Space has been dependent upon earlier models of the Transmission of lightMultiple choice questionsQuestionsProblemsMotors and Generators: Motors use the effect of forces on current-carrying conductors in magnetic fieldsThe relative motion between a conductor and magnetic field is used to generals an electrical voltageGenerators are used to provide large scale power productionLong distance transmission of electric powerTransformers allow generated voltage to be either injcreased or decreased before it is usedEfficency of a transformer and transformer lossesMultiple choice questionsQuestionsProblemsFrom ideas to implementation: Increased understandings of Cathode Rays led to the development of televisionThe reconceptualisation of the Model of light led to an understanding of the Photoelectric effect and Black Body radiationLimitations of past technologies and increased research into the structure of the Atom resulted in the invention of TransistorsInvestigation into the electrical properties of particular metals at different temperatures led to the identification of Superconductivity and the exploration of possible applicationsMultiple choice questionsQuestionsProblemsAnswers: SpaceMotors and GeneratorsIdeas for implementation.
