Q2. In 1831 Michael Faraday investigated magnetism using simple apparatus: a coil of wire,
a) Select the diagram that correctly shows the magnetic field lines around a bar magnet.
Diagram:
Faraday performed an experiment in which he moved the bar magnet through the coil of wire.
He noticed at certain times that there was an induced current flowing in the coil of wire. He
noted the following observations:
i. Suggest two additional ways that the size of the current could be increased.
ii. The bar magnet is moved so that both the magnet and the coil of wire were moving at the same speed
and direction. Predict the change on the galvanometer.
Q3. A wire AB hangs loosely between the N pole and the S pole of a strong magnet. The figure below shows
the arrangement.
(a) The wire is connected to a power supply.
(i) When the power supply is switched on, there is a very large direct current (d.c.) in thewire
in the direction from B to A. Describe what happens to the wire as the power supply is
switched ON.
(ii) The power supply is adjusted and there is now a large alternating current (a.c.) in the wire.
Describe what happens to the wire.
(b) The power supply is removed from the circuit and a galvanometer is connected in its place.
(i) The wire is moved quickly to the right, between the poles of the magnet. Explain why the
galvanometer registers a current.
(ii) State what is observed on the galvanometer when the wire is moved to the left at the same
speed as in (b)(i).
(iii) State what is observed on the galvanometer when the wire is moved to the right at a much
lower speed than in (b)(i).

Q4. A student is investigating the strength of electromagnets. The below figure shows three
electromagnets. The student hung a line of paper clips from each electromagnet.
No more paper clips can be hung from the bottom of each line of paper clips.
(a) (i) Complete the conclusion that the student should make from this investigation.
Increasing the number of turns of wire wrapped around the nail will ...
(ii) Which two pairs of electromagnets should be compared to make this conclusion?
(iii)Suggest two variables that the student should control in this investigation.

(b) A machine is rotated by an electric motor. The diagram shows a simple electric motor.
The following statements explain how the motor creates a turning force.
The statements are in the wrong order.
M – The magnetic field interacts with the magnetic field of the permanent magnets.
N – A magnetic field is created around the coil.
O – The power supply applies a potential difference across the coil.
P – This creates a force that makes the coil spin.
Q – A current flows through the coil.
(i) Arrange the statements in the correct order. Two of them have been done for you.
