2011-05-02 1

For the HSC Physics syllabus dot-points: “Perform a first-hand investigation to demonstrate the motor effect”, “Perform an investigation to model the generation of an electric current by moving a magnet in a coil or a coil near a magnet”, “Plan, choose equipment or resources for, and perform a first-hand investigation to predict and verify the effect on a generated electric current when: the distance between the coil and magnet is varied, the strength of the magnet is varied, the relative motion between the coil and the magnet is varied”, and “Plan, choose equipment or resources for, and perform a first-hand investigation to demonstrate the production of an alternating current”.
