Magnetic effect of current

Section A
1. An electric current is passed through a coil of wire.

Which diagram shows the shape of the magnetic field produced in the middle of
the coil?

2. Which diagram shows the magnetic field pattern around a wire that is carrying a
current perpendicular to the page?

3. A toy railway engine is driven around a track by a d.c. electric motor.

How can the speed of the motor be increased?
A. Use a motor made with fewer turns of wire.
B. Use a smaller d.c. voltage.
C. Use a stronger magnet in the motor.
D. Use the supply with its connections reversed.
4. The diagram shows a simple d.c. electric motor which is rotating.

Which change will make the motor rotate more quickly?

A. increasing the number of turns on the coil
B. removing the magnets
C. reversing the battery
D. reversing the polarity of the magnets

5. A wire passes between the poles of a horseshoe magnet. There is a current in

the wire in the direction shown, and this causes a force to act on the wire.

Three other arrangements, P, Q and R, of the wire and magnet are set up as
shown.

Which arrangement or arrangements will cause a force in the same direction as the
original arrangement?
A. P, Q and R B. P and Q only C. P only D. R only

represents. [1]
(b) Fig. 1.2 shows a simple d.c. motor connected to a battery and a switch.

2. Fig. 2.1 and Fig. 2.2 show two views of a vertical wire carrying a current up
through a horizontal card. Points P and Q are marked on the card.

Fig. 2.1 Fig. 2.2

(a) On Fig. 2.2,

would point. [3]
(b) State the effect on the direction in which compass Q points of
(i) increasing the current in the wire,

(c) Fig. 2.3 shows the view from above of another vertical wire carrying a current up
through a horizontal card. A cm grid is marked on the card. Point W is 1 cm vertically
above the top surface of the card.

Fig. 2.3
State the magnetic field strength at S, T and W in terms of the magnetic field
strength at R. Use one of the alternatives, weaker, same strength or stronger for
each answer.
