preds for physics exam tmrw: 1. Be aware of units (speed,mass,weight) 2. Know formulas and unit conversions 3. Know how to use protractor (angle of incidence and refraction) 4. electricity and circuits (ammeter and voltmeter , parallel and series) 5. Radioactivity ( types of decay and effect on atomic mass and atomic number) ( penetrating and ionising powers , EM waves and dangers) 6. Conduction , Convection , Radiation ( black vs white , matte vs shiny) 7. Magnetism (soft and hard magnetic materials , generator and motor effect , left hand rule) 8. VARIABLES - IV , DV , CV

aren't they giving us the formula booklets for this year? my teacher's said that the govt decided to give full formulas for physics so you just need to know how to use

1. Thermistor questions?? it was so confusing the entire electricity topic did anyone else get 0.0072 amps for current that seems so low
2. What was the reason you only turn it on for a short period of time for the metal rod and magnet question

Yes I got 0.0072 amps, but I wasn't sure for that 2 marker on why short time either I said the force could become too high and the metal would be removed from the circuit but that doesn't really make sense
