Electromagnetism test preparation for grade 12

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on a student struggling with grade 12 physics, expressing dissatisfaction with both the teacher's effectiveness and the textbook quality. The student seeks help in understanding key theories and equations for an upcoming test, which will cover topics such as domain theory of magnetism, magnetic forces, Ampère’s Law, and electromagnetic induction. It is clarified that the test is not calculus-based. Participants emphasize the importance of asking specific questions for effective assistance and suggest utilizing available resources, including the Intro Physics homework help section and external websites like HyperPhysics, to enhance understanding and problem-solving skills.

i'm currently taking grade 12 physics. my teacher is really nice, but i got say that she sucks at teaching, and the textbook we're using is worse.
can anyone here help me with understanding the basics theories and equations I need for this test?

Whats going to be covered on the test? Is it calculus based or not? And what specifically do you need help with?
 
it is not calculus based.
here's the list of topics the test is going to cover.
-domain theory of magnetism
-Magnetic Force on Moving Charges
-Effects of Magnetic Fields
-Field Theory
-Magnetic Force on a Conductor
-Ampère’s Law
-Coaxial Cables and Magnetic Fields
-The Ampere As a Unit of Electric Current
-Electromagnetic Induction
 
This is way too broad a request to expect a reasonable response.

If you have some specific questions or problems that are giving your trouble, then you'll get some useful help. (We have an excellent Intro Physics homework help section.)

You need to struggle through the book, like it or not. (Or find another comparable one, more to your liking.) Attempt to solve as many problems as you can.

Browse through our Introductory Physics Learning Materials section; you may find some useful tutorials. An excellent site to browse is hyperphysics: http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/emcon.html

I will check this website and and the forum you sent me.
thank you
 
After a year of thought, I decided to adjust my ratio for applying the US/EU(+UK) schools. I mostly focused on the US schools before, but things are getting complex and I found out that Europe is also a good place to study. I found some institutes that have professors with similar interests. But gaining the information is much harder than US schools (like you have to contact professors in advance etc). For your information, I have B.S. in engineering (low GPA: 3.2/4.0) in Asia - one SCI...
Bit Britain-specific but I was wondering, what's the best path to take for A-Levels out of the following (I know Y10 seems a bit early to be thinking about A-levels, but my choice will impact what I do this year/ in y11) I (almost) definitely want to do physics at University - so keep that in mind... The subjects that I'm almost definitely going to take are Maths, Further Maths and Physics, and I'm taking a fast track programme which means that I'll be taking AS computer science at the end...
I graduated with a BSc in Physics in 2020. Since there were limited opportunities in my country (mostly teaching), I decided to improve my programming skills and began working in IT, first as a software engineer and later as a quality assurance engineer, where I’ve now spent about 3 years. While this career path has provided financial stability, I’ve realized that my excitement and passion aren’t really there, unlike what I felt when studying or doing research in physics. Working in IT...
