Electromagnetism Unit Plan
. UNIT OVERVIEW
A. Unit Plan Summary
This unit plan for Electromagnetism is designed for a high school course in General Physics. A conceptual, as
opposed to historical or thematic, teaching approach has been chosen for the instructional material and activities
of the unit, although some historical anecdotes, as well as themes such as motors and electric power, will be
included. The unit is targeted toward year 11 physics students with two years of algebra, but no calculus
preparation.. The textbook, which will be used primarily as a reference source rather than a curriculum guide, is
IGCSE PHYSICS by Stephen pople.
B. Goals
The goals for the unit may be logically grouped into three main categories: content knowledge, process skills,
and scientific dispositions.
Rationale
1) Needs of the Student
The content knowledge, process skills, and scientific dispositions learned in this unit are of vital interest to the
student. Students will experience the pleasure of knowing the how and the why behind many important aspects
of modern civilization, including the essential concept of energy conservation. Other widely-applicable topics
which underlie today's technology that will be addressed are motors, generators, and electrical power
generation.
Students also will benefit from acquiring the process skills we will cultivate in this unit. With these skills,
students will gain confidence in their ability to act, to put thought into practice. The possession of real-life,
practical skills will prove to be useful when solving problems and searching out answers to problems far beyond
the classroom. Such skills also allow students to be in a position to help others if and when the need arises.
Students can carry the scientific dispositions stressed in this unit into many other areas of their lives. Critical
thinking and objectivity are essential in weighing the claims of all sides of any issue, scientific or otherwise.
They also allow a student to thoughtfully examine his/her own views and the views of others, to search out and
analyze the points of disagreement, and to implement any changes needed for the student to construct a
consistent, rational outlook on life - a process that eludes subjective thinkers. Finally, those who can work well
with others make effective workers as well as managers, and are in high demand in the workplace.
2) Needs of the Society
The process skills developed in this unit will benefit society as well as the individual student. If problems in our
society are to be addressed, people who can think and act are required. This becomes clear when we
acknowledge the fact that thinkers, by themselves, accomplish nothing if people remain passive. The process
skills encouraged during this unit will help alleviate passivity by giving students the confidence to act as well as
think.
THE OXFORD SCHOOL - DUBAI

3) Needs of the Subject Area
Electricity and magnetism are essential not only to physics, but to all scientific disciplines. Much of the high-
technology laboratory equipment of any area of science is largely based on the concepts of this unit. Knowledge
of the ideas here will aid the scientist in fully understanding his/her equipment, and will help insure that the
resulting data will be interpreted correctly and properly analyzed.
Process skills, too, carry over into any scientific field. Understanding the theory behind one's equipment is of
little use if one fails to know how to use the apparatus for investigating research questions.
The dispositions taught in this unit will hopefully serve to continue the tradition previously established by
science. Most scientists of the past have endeavored to search for the answers to Nature's mysteries in an "as-
objective-as-humanly-possible" fashion. Although science would not be the same discipline without a healthy
dose of competition, science has also benefited, and will continue to benefit, from healthy doses of cooperation.
We hope that the dispositions acquired by the students during this unit will serve to reinforce these traits of the
scientific community
IV. MAJOR OBJECTIVES
By the end of this instructional unit, the student will be able to demonstrate the following objectives in writing,
and under test conditions, unless otherwise specified.
Content Knowledge Objectives
Given the direction of the current and the shape of a current-carrying conductor such as a straight wire or a
solenoid, sketch the configuration and direction of the induced magnetic field around the conductor.
Given the direction of the current in a conductor and the location and direction of the magnetic field, explain the
induced magnetic force in terms of the direction of the force and what materials are affected by the force.
List two factors that affect the magnitude of a current induced by moving a conductor through a magnetic field.
Explain how a galvanometer works using terms such as permanent magnet, pointer, pivot, coil, control spring,
induced magnetic field, and magnitude of allowable current.
Explain Lenz's Law in terms of the types of circuits to which it applies, the direction of the induced current and
the resulting force from that current, and how the Law is related to the idea of conservation of energy.
Describe an electric generator using terms such as mechanical energy, electrical energy, armature, slip ring, and
field magnet.
Describe an electric motor using terms such as mechanical energy, electrical energy, armature, slip ring, and
field magnet.

Explain why the long-distance transmission of electric power is done using very high voltages by using the
terms transformer, current, heat loss, and efficiency.
Process Skill Objectives
Demonstrate electrical safety in the laboratory by performing the following behaviors during a laboratory test:
check for damp hands or a wet floor, turning off and unplugging electrical/magnetic equipment when adjusting
apparatus, and keeping one hand behind back at all times.
Given an input a-c current or voltage, sufficient wire, and a magnetic iron core, produce a transformer that will
theoretically provide a given output current or voltage.
Initiate and carry out one experiment using the scientific method by identifying a problem, determining an
approach and appropriate apparatus, proposing an hypothesis, setting up the apparatus, measuring and recording
the observed data, and drawing a logical conclusion from the gathered data.
Disposition Objectives
Given a complete description of an occurrence, analyze the situation, distinguishing clearly between
observation and inference, and write an hypothesis as a possible explanation for the occurrence.
Under anonymous conditions, write a one-page essay on what you liked/disliked in this instructional unit, what
changes could be incorporated that would better serve your needs, and how the studies in this unit changed or
did not change your appreciation and knowledge of science and E/M technology.

a generator as a device that transforms mechanical energy to electrical energy. Mention that the generator produces alternating current which is transported to our homes. The generator is known as an a.c. generator. Briefly describe that we would be learning how this generator works.
Next, give example of where a.c. generators
. State that an a.c. generator is a device that uses the Principle of Electromagnetic induction to transform mechanical energy to electrical energy. Add that work needs to be done on the generator to produce electricity. Recall examples of other sources of mechanical energy: wind, tides, rising steam, etc.
Emphasise the point that a changing magnetic field can be achieved either from a moving magnet or a moving coil in a fixed magnetic field.
Introduce the various components (diagram in slide 12) of the simple a.c. generator: the permanent magnets, the rotating coil, the axle of rotation, slip rings and carbon brushes. Stress that a real generator consists of many turns of coil (and not just one turn of coil). Link what they have learnt about electromagnetic induction to how an a.c. generator produces electricity. - as the coil rotates, the magnetic field through the coil changes and therefore by electromagnetic induction, an e.m.f is induced between the ends of the coil.
Explain the use of the slip rings - slip rings allow for the transfer of the induced current in the rotating coil to the external circuit. Point out that each ring is connected to one end of the coil and electrically connected by a conducting carbon brush against which it slips to the external circuit. Bring students' attention to the fluctuation of voltmeter reading and the red trace on the graph at various positions of the coil. Show students that the induced e.m.f. is oscillating between negative and positive. The induced current is this known as an alternating current

LEARNING OBJECTIVE :
Describe the construction of a basic iron-cored transformer as used for voltage transformations.
Recall and use the equation (Vp /Vs) = (Np /Ns).
Describe the use of the transformer in highvoltage transmission of electricity.
Give the advantages of high-voltage transmission.
Describe the principle of operation of a transformer.
Recall and use the equation Vp Ip = Vs Is (for 100% efficiency).
Explain why energy losses in cables are lower when the voltage is high.
1. Look at the following transformer. The source of electricity is on the left. Therefore, the primary coil is on
the left, and the secondary is on the right.
Fill in the following chart for this transformer. Would this be a step-up or step-down (circle one)?
2. For the above transformer what is the output voltage if it is only 75% efficient?

3. A transformer has a primary coil with 200 turns, and a secondary coil with 2000 turns. The input voltage is 120
VAC, and runs at 1800 Watts. What is the output voltage?
2. A transformer cannot be used to run a 230 V, 100 W mains lamp directly from a 12 V car battery.
Which one of the following is the correct reason for this?
a) The internal resistance of the battery will not allow enough current in the primary coil.
b) Eddy currents in the iron core will heat up the iron core.
c) The current from the battery will produce a steady flux in the secondary coil.
3. An alternating supply delivers a current of 0.025 A at 12 V to the primary coil of a transformer. A 20 Ω
resistor is connected to the secondary coil.
a) The current in the secondary circuit is 0.110 A.
