    Dear Man,
    Thanks for your comment. This is a question that comes up quite often in discussion.
    I don’t think the upper case PHI notation is helpful or physically correct. There are not N lots of flux. The flux is a measure of the intensity of the field passing through a surface area. The material bounding the surface area is independent of the concept of flux. Maxwell’s equations tell us that a changing magnetic field produces an electric field. This means that if the area through which a magnetic field passes is bounded by a conducting loop and the flux through the loop changes, then an electric field and corresponding EMF is experienced at all points on the loop and, if the loop is continuous a current will flow. More loops, means more points on conductor experiencing an electric field, and hence more current.

    Sorry to take so long to notice your post!
    Regards,
    Barbara

    Interesting comment re the timetable. VCAA possibly has data that could show whether having a break between exams has a significant effect on performance.

    Cheat sheet doesn’t affect scaling. Scaling is determined by performance of Physics cohort on the GAT relative to the overall cohort.
