(b) cuts through more magnetic field 2 1
(c) 1 number of turns on coil larger 1 1
2 area of coil larger 1 1
You would get a larger reading if the frequency of the ac is larger, but that is not something the person using the device can alter.

(a) P = IV 1 1
so I =P/V 1 1

(a) the wire moves 1 1
down 1
Use Fleming’s left-hand rule to find the direction of the movement: the first finger is the field direction, the second is the current and the thumb gives the direction of motion. Remember all of your fingers have to be at right angles to each other.
(b)(i) the wire moves 1 1
in the opposite direction 1 1
(ii) the wire vibrates 1

10
(a) connect to a battery/power supply 1 1
(b)(i) hold paper clips near to electromagnet 1
the greater number of clips picked up, the stronger it is 1 1
(ii) increase number of turns on the coil 1 1

QUESTIONSHEET
11
(a)
pattern as shown 1 1
more than one set of lines drawn 1 1
(b) (i) the left-hand end of the coil acts like a South Pole 1
(ii) arrow points towards South Pole 1
If you were to look at the left-hand end of the coil, the direction of the current is clockwise; a clockwise current means a South Pole.

(ii) Anticlockwise 1 1
(b)(i) (Split ring) commutator 1 1
(ii) reverses current in coil 1 1

The current must be reversed to maintain the forces on the coil in the same direction. Note that this is not the same thing as the slip rings used in an ac generator.

15
(a) (i) step-up 1 1
transformer 1 1
(ii) less power loss 1 1
at high voltage 1 1
than at high current 1 1
A high current means high power loss, so power is transmitted at a high voltage instead. Note that a
transformer must be used which only works on ac.
