TOPIC 22: ELECTROMAGNETISM 3
Describe experiments to show
the force on a current-carrying
conductor, and on a beam of
charged particles, in a d.c power supply, insulated
Force on a magnetic field, including the tong wire, major magnet
current-carrying effect of reversing (1) the
conductor current, (2) the direction of the
field.
State the relative directions of
force, field and current.
Force on a Describe the field patterns Vertical parallel thick wire,
current-carrying between currents in parallel low voltage power supply
conductor conductors and relate these to
the forces which exist between
the conductors (excluding the
Earth's field).
Explain how a current-carrying
coil in a magnetic field
experiences a turning effect
and that the effect is increased
by increasing (1) the number of
turns on the coil (2) the current.
The d.c. motor Discuss how this turning effect

electric motor.
Describe the action of a split-
ring commutator in a two-pole,
single coil motor and the effect model of d.c. motor
of winding the coil onto a soft-
iron cylinder.
TOPIC 23: ELECTROMAGNETIC INDUCTION 3
Principles of Describe an experiment which
electromagnetic shows that a changing Galvanometer, permanent
induction magnetic field can induce an magnet and Solenoid
e.m.f. in a circuit.
State the factors affecting the
magnitude of the induced
e.m.f.
State that the direction of a
current produced by an
induced e.m.f. opposes the
change producing it (Lenz's
Law) and describe how this law
may be demonstrated.
