We have seen a variety of physics applied to safe
rail travel. We have studied:
- DC Circuits - potential dividers, series and
parallel circuits;
- Capacitors - charge and exponential discharge;
- Digital Signals - pulse counting and timing;
- Electromagnetism - magnetic fields, the motor
effect, the generator effect, transformers;
- Mechanics - momentum, collisions, kinetic
energy.
You will come across more of these in other units.
Below is a concept map:
