What's on this checklist
Papers 1 and 2
- I know that an electric current in a conductor produces a magnetic field around the conductor.
- I understand why a force acts on a current-carrying wire in a magnetic field, and how this effect is applied in simple d.c. electric motors and loudspeakers.
- I can use the left-hand rule to predict the direction of the resulting force when a wire carries a current perpendicular to a magnetic field.
- I can describe how the force on a current-carrying conductor in a magnetic field changes with the magnitude and direction of the field and of the current.
Paper 2 only
- I can describe how electromagnets are constructed.
- I can draw the magnetic field patterns of a straight wire, a flat circular coil and a solenoid, each carrying a current.
- I know that a charged particle moving in a magnetic field has a force on it, as long as its motion is not parallel to the field.
