An electric field can be used to accelerate charged particles.  Conservation of energy tells us that the work done by the field is equal to the change in the particle’s kinetic energy.  The speed of the particle can be determined if its charge and the accelerating voltage are known.  These notes show how to perform the calculation. ...

Here is a link to some revision notes for the Our Dynamic Universe unit.

Your homework questions are attached.  Please return to me by Wednesday 20th September.

Here are some notes to help you prepare for the assessment later this week. There are also some useful resources on BBC Bitesize.

As promised, here are the Scholar notes for unit 2 of the CfE Higher course.

Your assignment will be based on an optoelectronics topic.  You will get some ideas for practical work by downloading this booklet. I have attached a copy of the Scholar notes for unit 3 of the CfE Higher course.  You will find background physics with appropriate energy band explanations on pages 103-142. Don’t print this document, ... Read more higher assignment
