Exam 2 - good or bad?

[felicialiong]

I stuffed up. I left six marks out because I was running out of time. The other questions that I managed were badly done.

I'm assuming the answer to 1 was SE as the arrow pointing up was magnetic north, the field will be going down therefore adding the vectors gives south east

I am pretty happy with the Electric Power and Synchrotron sections. However despite doing amazingly for time for most of the exam. I managed to run out of time on light. I think I guessed/didn't answer 10 marks worth.  I should hopefully make up for it with what I thought were some pretty decent responses to all the explain questions and what looks like some a good number of answers that I can remember matching itute. Will probably end up with a B like my mid year, however a B+ or A probably isn't completely out of the question at this stage.

Whattt I thought 1 b) was C.

Why would it be backwards? Magnetic North is "Magnetic North" the North Magnetic pole of the earth located in Antarctica where the south geographic pole is?

It should have been the one with the North pole of the magnet was pointing left, whatever that answer was. Unless I'm wrong. XD

Edit: Oh, wait sorry. I think I see where the confusion is. I'm pretty sure by NE itute mean 'up right', or 45 degrees from the x axis roughly the direction the top of this forward slash points / or however you want to describe it.

I think the most important thing is, the exam is over.

Yep that was C.
I got massively confused about the entire question because if you incoporate the earth's magnetic field NONE of the options were correct, I think that confused some people. Only when I reread it did I realise you were meant to ignore the earth's field.

Anyone else get different results for Light and Matter 1 c) and d)
Or am I screwed

I personally didn't find it too bad. The questions seemed trickier than some of the past vcaa exams and required a good understanding of how concepts relate to each other. I probably got that path difference question wrong, and the sound mc questions felt harder than previous years. Hopefully I did alright.

I got 0.825 for at least one of my answers somewhere. That doesn't mean you're screwed though.

i have a feeling there was a big trick question in there.
the question which showed the 2 magnets, and had like, A and B. it asked which direction the coil moved once the motor was swtiched on.
well anyway, the magnet had N and S on the top, and were shaded.
so..
the magnetic field wasnt going from North to south horizontally
it was going in an arch.

Can someone upload the paper pls....

Hmm. If I got c) wrong, and used my answer from c for d), would I get the mark from consequential working or not? :\

There's no indication of where the geographic poles just the magnetic poles which are going from up to down on the page
