Are you kidding, there was a whole question on magnetic fields in paper 2 and there was a question on them in paper 3 as well, including a six mark question. No electric fields at all in papers 2 or 3 last year so they have to come up this year

Thinking magnetic fields 6 marker, wasn't much magnetic fields last year

I really don't want to see any major x-ray questions come up but I have the worst hunch it's gonna be there :/

What are you guys doing to revise the next few days?

Just doing papers to be honest, using the old spec G482 and G485 to consolidate knowledge then the available new spec papers to see what I can do in timed conditions.

I agree, I feel like in recent years they’ve touched on PET and CAT scanners a lot but haven’t spoken about gamma cameras, x-rays or ultrasound very much - I think these are contenders for the medical physics part of Friday’s paper, should it come up.

great, i hate electric fields so much

IMO, they are better than magnetic fields

i guess, but only relatively speaking- the whole topic is just hellish.
not to even mention those hand laws i dont think ive ever known when to use the left or right or my foot or anything

LMAO, left hand rule for direction when you have 2 of force, magnetic field and conventional current to find the missing one. Right hand rule in the same way would be used for electromagnetic induction but it is not needed due to Lenz’s law

wasnt one hand for a current carrying conductor and one was for a conductor placed in a mag field? i have a distant memory of something like that

Ultrasound is more likely to be examined this year I believe

I suspect that waves are going to come up. And most likely quantum physics of some kind, and without a doubt, magnetic and electric fields will come up. Also, so will capacitors. And medical physics.

hmm, dunno about that capacitors one- capacitors was a huge chunk in paper 2, and it was the 6 marker
