Physics 1.3 Demonstrate understanding of aspects of electricity and magnetism

Achievement criteria

The type of achievement you will reach is decided by the way you answer each question.  From your answers the assessor will assess your understanding of the topics of the achievement standard.

On this page: Achievement | Achievement with Merit | Achievement with Excellence

Achievement

Demonstrate understanding of aspects of electricity and magnetism.

This involves providing evidence that shows awareness of how simple facets of phenomena, concepts or principles relate to given situations.  This may include using methods for solving problems involving aspects of electricity and magnetism.

Evidence may be written, mathematical, graphical, or diagrammatic.

Aspects of electricity and magnetism will be selected from the following:

  • Static Electricity: positive and negative charge, conductors and insulators, uniform and non-uniform charge distributions, earthing, electrical discharge in air, separation of charge by friction, charging by contact.
  • DC Electricity: voltage, current, resistance, power, series circuits and simple parallel circuits, circuit diagrams, the relationships:            
           V = IR,  P = IV,  physics formula,  RT = R1 + R2 + …
  • Magnetism: magnetic field directions, interactions and the result of interactions (including magnetic field of bar magnets, the earth’s magnetic field, magnetic fields due to currents in straight wires and solenoids), right-hand grip rule, electromagnet, the relationship  B = kl/d .

Achievement with merit

Demonstrate in-depth understanding of aspects of electricity and magnetism.

This involves providing evidence that shows how or why phenomena, concepts or principles relate to given situations.

Make sure you can meet the requirements for Achievement.

Achievement with excellence

Demonstrate comprehensive understanding of aspects of electricity and magnetism.

This typically involves providing evidence that shows how or why phenomena, concepts, or principles are connected in the context of given situations.  Statements must demonstrate understanding of connections between concepts.

Make sure you can meet the requirements for Merit.
