Current Electricity: Circuit diagrams, current and potential difference, resistance, resistivity and superconductors, power and electrical energy, e.m.f and internal resistance, conservation of energy and charge in circuits, alternating current.

Waves: Nature of waves, transverse and longitudinal waves, superposition and interference, stationary waves, diffraction and interference.

Assessment Strategy

Threshold (D- to D+): Demonstrates a basic understanding of the subject but some errors present. Some inaccuracies and misconceptions evident. Limited ability to apply subject knowledge to new or different scenarios. The clarity of information presentation is weak and use of appropriate, subject-specific terminology is limited.

Acceptable (C- to C+): A clearer understanding of the subject matter. Demonstrates ability to apply subject knowledge to new or different scenarios, but with some errors. The clarity of information presentation is acceptable and use of appropriate, subject-specific terminology is developing. There is evidence of some limited engagement with published information sources.

Good (B- to B+): A good understanding of the subject matter. Very few inaccuracies and misconceptions evident. Demonstrates ability to apply subject knowledge to new or different scenarios, with few errors. The clarity of information presentation is good and use of appropriate, subject-specific terminology is well-developed. There is evidence of engagement with published information sources.

Excellent (A- and above): An excellent understanding of the subject matter with virtually no inaccuracies and misconceptions evident. Demonstrates a very good ability to apply subject knowledge to new or different scenarios, with very few errors. The clarity of information presentation is excellent and use of appropriate, subject-specific terminology is very well developed. Some evidence of reflectivity in the work produced
