Overview: Electrical energy transmission and transformation technologies, based on field theory and on an understanding of electromagnetic radiation (EMR), play an important role in meeting human needs. These technologies are also useful in furthering our understanding of the universe. In this unit, students investigate the functioning of these technologies, the principles of field theory and the properties of EMR. This unit provides a foundation for further studies of electromagnetism.
Key Concepts: The following concepts are developed in this unit and may also be addressed in other units or in other courses. The intended level and scope of treatment is defined by the learning outcomes.
• devices based on electric and magnetic fields (electric motors, generators and transformers)
• the electromagnetic spectrum, its properties and its effects on living tissue
• basic properties of field theory for the comparison of gravitational, electric and magnetic fields
• principles of field theory and applications in technology
• technologies used to study the structure and history of the universe
• circuitry

Study GuideThe study guide will be introduced at the beginning of each unit and will serve as a pre-and post assessment. this assessment will become a student self-assessment where you will identify areas of strength and areas still in need of attention
|
NotesAlong with the unit notes is a set of skeleton curricular notes. these notes are to be completed throughout the unit and utilized as a study reference for the diploma exam.
|
ProjectsThe multiple Intelligence projects cover all the curricular outcomes in the unit. The projects will not be assessed unless you utilize your MI strengths as identified at the beginning of the year. Dipping into your own creativity can boost engagement levels and deepen overall understanding of content. Enjoy!
