This paper covers

  • Electromagnetism (emphasis, 31 marks): parallel-wire forces, transformers, charged particles in crossed/uniform fields, electromagnetic induction via Faraday's and Lenz's laws, and DC motor / back-EMF principles
  • Advanced Mechanics: projectile motion and circular/orbital satellite motion
  • The Nature of Light: photoelectric effect, special relativity (muon time dilation/length contraction) and wave-particle duality
  • From the Universe to the Atom: hydrogen line spectra, the Rutherford nuclear model and the Standard Model of matter
  • Mandated assessment skills: formula-substitution-units calculations, data/graph interpretation (field-time and photoelectric graphs), and extended assess/justify responses worth 6-9 marks
