Re: A2 (Edexcel) Physics Unit 4 'Physics on the Move' - 24th January 2012It does. The only real alternative is the edexcel produced revision guide.(Original post by Xaerion)
Anyone have any revision notes? this edexcel book sucks =P -

Question - If a car is going over a humpback bridge, what is the force on the bridge at the very top? (i.e a circular motion plus forces question) -

. If you know the weight of the car, you can work out the force the road is exerting on the car.

Re: A2 (Edexcel) Physics Unit 4 'Physics on the Move' - 24th January 2012Does anyone know the raw marks for an A/A* for the last couple of exams? I remember my physics teacher say something along the lines of 54? I can't find them on the edexcel website ..
Thank you

Re: A2 (Edexcel) Physics Unit 4 'Physics on the Move' - 24th January 2012I'm pretty sure in a mock i did recently (can't remember which one, sorry) that my teacher said for an A you needed 54/80 and for A* you needed 57/80(Original post by EllaBella<3)

Re: A2 (Edexcel) Physics Unit 4 'Physics on the Move' - 24th January 2012Yeah, from looking at past grade boundaries that seems to be the average(Original post by Tom_L)

Re: A2 (Edexcel) Physics Unit 4 'Physics on the Move' - 24th January 2012Where can you find the past grade boundaries? I've searched the edexcel website and (probably stupidly ..) can't find them :L could you link them?(Original post by areyousure?)

Re: A2 (Edexcel) Physics Unit 4 'Physics on the Move' - 24th January 2012I use Advanced physics for you, The edexcel revision guide and textbook. They all plug each other's gaps.(Original post by fluteflute)
The CGP one is quite good (I think)
I've never tried the CGP one so I can't comment. -

Look for the ones that say GCE Units
Best of luck tomorrow -

Re: A2 (Edexcel) Physics Unit 4 'Physics on the Move' - 24th January 2012What is the difference between the dynamo effect, the transformer effect and the motor effect?
The transformer effect is caused by the change in flux experienced by stationary charges and the motor effect is caused by the relative movement between mobile charges in a wire and a fixed field.
What about the dynamo effect- does it simply refer to the relative movement between flux and charge (i.e. both other effects) - or have I misunderstood?
NVM- I just found my notes.Last edited by Killjoy-; 24-01-2012 at 00:19. -
