Use the following information to answer the next question (%PointValue% marks) A wheelchair lift on a bus is used to move a wheelchair and its occupant from ground level to the level of the floor of the bus. The wheelchair lift is powered by an electric motor. The efficiency of an electric motor in a wheelchair lift is determined by using the formula Develop a series of instructions for a maintenance team to follow in order to determine the efficiency of the electric motor in an occupied wheelchair lift. In your instructions, • identify the energy conversions involved in the operation of a wheelchair lift. Start with the energy input to the electric motor, and end with the output energy when the wheelchair and its occupant are on the bus • design a procedure that the maintenance team could use to determine the input power of an electric motor. • include a labelled circuit diagram • design a procedure that the maintenance team could use to determine the output power of the electric motor as it powers the occupied wheelchair lift • describe the calculations, including necessary formulas, required to determine the efficiency of this electric motor Marks will be awarded for the physics used to solve this problem and for the effective communication of your response. For students to achieve the standard of excellence with their responses, they needed to demonstrate internal consistency. This was evidenced in the discussion of energy conversions in which the final energy form was gravitational potential energy, in the procedure for the output power in which the variables to be measured were mass, height moved, and time taken, and in the citing of the equation p = mgh/t. These students often stated that the lift had kinetic energy as it rose, but since there was no kinetic energy once the lift and occupant were at the top, they did not need to make any measurements of speed. (A student could have decided to measure the mechanical energy at the midpoint but would then have needed to provide steps to measure all the variables associated with the mechanical energy.) The other main area that evidenced internal consistency was in the circuit diagram, design for input power, and the electrical power formula. Students at this level provided a schematic circuit diagram with both an ammeter and a voltmeter properly placed. They provided a procedure which clearly stated that the readings on the meters were required and they stated the formula P = IV. Student responses that received a score of 5 were well written, addressing the full scope of the question and showing significant application of physics principles to a real-life situation. One common weakness of these responses was that they completely missed the idea that the motor is continually doing work to the system. These students addressed the idea by saying things like “at the start, the motor does work on the lift and occupant which produces kinetic energy (energy of motion) and potential energy (because it is above the bottom level) but then gave the memorized “all the kinetic energy is converted into potential energy once the occupant is on the bus.” This internal inconsistency was not significant enough to drop the response to a score of 4. Student responses that received a score of 4 contained the idea that at least two types of energy are present at any time (electrical energy in the motor, kinetic energy and gravitational potential energy as the lift rises or electrical power and gravitational potential energy divided by time) but contained significant gaps in logic or design so that the reader needed to interpret the response. Student responses that achieved the acceptable standard on this question were often disjointed in that they would answer each of the parts without addressing the question: “Develop a series of instructions for a maintenance team to follow in order to determine the efficiency of the electric motor in an occupied wheelchair lift.” Strengths of responses that received a score of 3 included: a series circuit diagram containing a closed loop, a load, and often a power supply; the citing of the formula P = IV; and a procedure that would allow for the measurement (or the knowledge) of one of the variables. Answer: 10. Use the following information to answer the next question. (%PointValue% marks) An ion with a charge of -2e and a mass of 1.33 × 10-25 kg is initially at rest. A high-voltage source is used to accelerate it. The ion then enters a magnetic field perpendicularly. In the magnetic field, the ion experiences a centripetal force of 4.41 × 10-14 N and travels in an orbit with a radius of 0.200 m. Analyze the situation above by • determining the speed of the ion as it travels in the magnetic field. If you are unable to determine the speed of the ion, use the hypothetical value of 1.90 × 105 m/s for the rest of the question • determining the electric potential difference needed to accelerate the ion from rest • determining the magnetic field strength Use the following additional information to answer the next part of the question. An electric field is then added to this region so that the ion passes undeflected through the region. Analyze the situation in which the ion moves in both fields by • determining the magnitude of the electric field that would be required to make the ion pass undeflected through the region • completing the diagram by - drawing the parallel plates - labelling the positively charged plate and the negatively charged plate - drawing at least three field lines showing the shape and direction of the electric field Clearly communicate your understanding of the physics principles that you are using to solve this question. You may communicate this understanding mathematically, graphically, and/or with written statements. Written Response Question 2 was scored anaholistically and independently by two teachers and required the student to address four major concepts: the effect of an external magnetic field on a moving charged object, the conservation of energy in an electric field accelerating a charged object, balanced forces as the object moves through mutually perpendicular magnetic and electric fields and the electric field associated with charged parallel plates. Students achieving the standard of excellence provided clear statements of the physics principles that they were using at each stage of the question. These include statements such as the unbalanced magnetic force causes the circular deflection (Fm = Fc), energy is conserved (Eelectric = Ek), and for undeflected motion the forces must be balanced (Fm = Fe). These students then recorded the appropriate formulas from the data sheets, showed the substitution of the numbers into the formulas, and stated the result of the calculation to the correct number of significant digits and with the appropriate units. They showed their understanding of the final major concept by providing diagrams that included labelled, horizontal parallel plates located above and below the path of the ion (either inside the magnetic field or just above and below the magnetic field) and added field lines that began at the positively charged plate and ended with an arrowhead at the negatively charged parallel plate. It was beyond the scope of the question for students to explain in terms of hand rules or in terms of the direction of the electrostatic force why they placed their positively and negatively charged plates where they did. Student responses that received a score of 4 tended to imply the physics principles being used. For example, rather than stating that energy is conserved they would start with the equation 2 1 2 = Vq mv , or they would calculate Ek using 2 12 mv and then substitute that value into DE = Vq. They had no difficulty arriving at the correct answers and tended to have appropriate significant digits and units. These responses tended to provide electric field diagrams with one of these significant errors: field lines running from the negatively charged to the positively charged plate, field lines that went from both plates half-way into the region, or the plate polarity reversed for the correct direction of the electrostatic force. Students achieving at the acceptable standard tended to calculate speed using circular motion formulas, calculate the magnetic field intensity using a formula from the data sheet, and begins either the electric potential difference calculation by calculating the kinetic energy or the electric field diagram by labelling the polarity of horizontal parallel plates. Weaknesses of student responses that received a score of 3 include: • Using point source formulas for electric field intensity in a parallel plate application. • Sloppy notation in which electric field intensity E and energy E are interchanged. • Using electric field intensity and energy values interchangeably within a solution. • Using electromagnetic induction formulas (V = Blv) to calculate the accelerating electric potential difference. • Electric field lines that looked like induced magnetic field lines, i.e., lines that circle the charged plates. 17 Student responses that did not meet the acceptable standard tended to calculate the speed of the ion using a circular motion formula and to make valid or invalid starts to the rest of the question. These responses often contained vertical parallel plates on either side of the magnetic field. Many formulas, valid and invalid, were recorded but there was no citing of any physics principles that guided their solutions. a) b) mv 2 Fmag = Fcent = R F R v = cent m v= (4.41 x 10-14 (200) (1.33 x 10-25 v = 2.58 x 105 m s Ee = Ek 1 mv 2 2 mv 2 V= 2q Vq = V= (1.33 x 10-25 )(2.58 x 105 ) 2 2(3.2 x 10-19 ) V = 1.38 x 104 V d) c) β qv = Fcent β = Fcent qv (4.41 x 10-14 ) (3.2 x 10-19 )(2.58 x 105 ) β = 0.535 T β = e) Answer: Fe = Fmag E q = β qv E = βv E = (5.35 x 10-1 )(2.57518 x 105 ) E = 1.38 x 105 N C
