UNIT 4

Any Unit 4, practice material? 

[Mao]

plenty, just not yet

[dekoyl]

4 days after the physics exam? Wow somebody is eager.

lol

This unit is actually really interesting imo

[tim2541]

seems lik u hav nufin better to do physics haha, na jokes

It's definitely different from Unit 3 but in my opinion, magnetic fields and electric currents don't really keep me awake at around 2:00 P.M. when I have physics.

Hmmm, ofcourse motion > all

But for me, I think overall unit 4 wins, because you can actually understand the fundamentals of what you are learning, unlike electricity in unit 3 which drove me nuts trying to understand the fundamentals of how everything works.

Well that's just my 5 cents

+1

Couldn't agree any more with you.

So TT, I take it that whenever you learn something, you like to learn the "fundamentals" and where it comes from?  For example, if you're taught a formula, you like to know how and where it is derived from.

Yeah, I always always try to find out how everything works and where it comes from. So for every formula I try to remember how it was derived rather than simply memorizing the formula and going "oh yeap all I gotta do is sub some numbers". I find you can do this much easier in unit 4 magnetism and light/matter and you have much more flexibility to derive your "own" formulas once you understand how to derive the 'original' formulas [as shown by kamil].

i hate unit 4 :S

Which of course requires you to have a strong mathematical base in order to do so in some cases.

I am so lucky that VCE exams do not require huge mathematical ability. On my cheat sheet I just have formulas arranged in every possible way, with no idea where it came from =[
