Electromagnetism test preparation for grade 12

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion centers around preparation for a grade 12 physics test on electromagnetism, focusing on the relevant theories and equations. Participants express concerns about the teaching quality and the textbook, while seeking assistance with specific topics that will be covered in the test.

Discussion Character

  • Homework-related

Main Points Raised

  • One participant expresses frustration with the teaching quality and the textbook used in their course.
  • Another participant inquires about the specific content and whether the test is calculus-based.
  • A participant confirms that the test is not calculus-based and lists the topics that will be covered, including domain theory of magnetism, magnetic force on moving charges, and electromagnetic induction.
  • One participant suggests that the original poster should ask specific questions to receive more useful help and recommends utilizing the Intro Physics homework help section and other resources.
  • The original poster acknowledges the suggestion and expresses intent to check the recommended website and forum.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally agree that the original request for help is too broad and that more specific questions would yield better assistance. There is no consensus on the effectiveness of the teaching materials, as opinions vary.

Contextual Notes

The discussion highlights the limitations of the original poster's request, indicating a need for more focused questions to facilitate better responses. There is also an implied dependence on the quality of the textbook and teaching methods, which remain unresolved.

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
