This set of four lessons goes over the exponential formula used in Physics for radioactive decay as well as teaching the basic rules of logs and why natural logs are used.
This is an 8 slide PowerPoint that covers BTec National Engineering (A-Level equivalent) on the topic of Heat Engines and Heat Pumps. This lesson covers the calculations for calculating the thermal efficiency for these systems, including a worked example for a modern combustion engine.
This is the fourth PowerPoint in this section (Thermodynamics).
This is an 11 slide PowerPoint that covers BTec National Engineering (A-Level equivalent) on the topic of self-inductance and transformers. This lessons covers the calculations from self-inductance, and explanation of the unit “henry” and how it applies to circuits, mutual inductance and transformer design and calculations.
This is the fifth and final PowerPoint in this section (Magnetism and Electromagnetic induction).
This is a 6 slide PowerPoint that covers BTec National Engineering (A-Level equivalent) on the topic of Capacitors in both series and parallel circuits. This PowerPoint includes circuit diagrams and worked examples of the capacitance, current and voltage calculations needed for basic circuits. This is an extension from the earlier lesson where capacitance and capacitors were introduced in detail.
This is the sixth PowerPoint in this section (Electricity and circuits).
This is an 8 slide PowerPoint that covers BTec National Engineering (A-Level equivalent) on the topic of Stress - Strain graphs, linking tensile stress and strain and the calculation of the modulus of elasticity
This is the third and final PowerPoint in this section which goes over some of the work from lesson one (Tensile stress and strain) and goes into more detail of graph analysis to find yield point, tensile strength as well as comparing qualitatively ideas like malleable and brittle materials.
This PowerPoint lesson on Electromagnetic Induction covers the Right-hand Rule for working out the current flow direction for a wire which is moved within a magnetic field, the application of this in creating an output voltage (Potential difference) in a coil and the creation of a sine wave from a rotating magnet in a sensor circuit (e.g. for fluid flow)
This is the sixth (of 8) lessons in this section entitled “Magnetism and Electromagnetism” which is available as a bundle in our shop.
This is an 17 slide PowerPoint that covers BTec National Engineering (A-Level equivalent) on the topic of SUVAT including the main formulae, their derivations and use. There is also a worksheet of questions and the answers are included.
This is the first PowerPoint in this section, which is available as a bundle, covering Dynamic Engineering Systems.
v1.1 - A quick worksheet on unit conversion practice has been added, in addition to the SUVAT worksheet
v1.11 Minor improvements to ppt made (mainly italics in parameters throughout)
This includes a PowerPoint and detailed lesson plan that includes:
Comparison of Alternating and Direct Current
Use of oscilloscopes to investigate the AC / DC traces
Conversion of frequency to time period for an AC supply
