Question | Answer |
---|---|
Sketch a magnetic field for a bar magents. What is a magnetic field | See diagram in folder, area around a magnet that attracts magnetic materials |
What is a gravitation field? In which direction does a gravitiational field pull objects towards on earth | The area around an object where mass experiences a force, All objects are pulled towards the centre of the earth |
how does a plastic rod become charged? Explain using the words friction, electrons and nucleus | A rod becomes charged when the friction of a cloth rubbing rubs off the electrons from the atoms leaving behind the positve nucleus of the atoms |
If a rod becomes positively chagrds after rubbing with a cloth, what charge will the cloth have? Compare the amount of charge on each | The cloth will become negatively charged. The cloth will have the same amount of charge as the rod (just oppositely charged) |
How do you measure the current and voltage of a bulb in a series circuit | to measure the current use an ammeter in series with with the bulb. To measure the voltage use a voltmeter in parallel to the bulb |
Why does a thinner wire have a higher resistance than a thick wire? Would the current be higher or lower in a thin wire compared to a thick wire | A thin wire has less room for the electrons to flow so its harder for them to flow. A thin wire will have a low current compared to a thick wire |
Describe the difference in resisitance in two thin wires, on that is 5cm long and the other that us 20cm long | the 20cm wire will have a higher resistance as it is longer |
Draw a labelled diagram of an electromagnet | See diagram in folder |
Give 3 factors that affect the magnetism of an electromagnet | number of coils, amount of current flowing through it, the material of core |
