When magnetic field lines are drawn, how do they look?

curved lines from N to S pole and outwards

lines extending outward in all directions like drawing the Sun

What's the difference between a solenoid and an electromagnet?

Electromagnets include a nail inside the coils.

Solenoids do not use a power source.

If two magnetic South poles are brought near each other, what would the magnetic field lines look like?

the lines would move out, but then curve away from each other

the lines would connect between the poles

the lines would curve like an "S"

since South poles repel, there would not be any lines

What do electric generators do

transform mechanical energy to electrical energy

transform mechanical energy to sound

transform electrical energy to mechanical energy

transform electrical energy to potential energy

What direction is the force/motion in the following diagram?

Parallel and through the magnets

Name one factor that does not affect the size of a force in on a current-carrying conductor placed in a magnetic field?

Magnetic flux density/size of magnetic field

Give two ways you can reverse the direction of a basic dc motor?

Keep the magnetic field the same

How does a split ring commutator work?

Swaps the contact evert half turn, so that the left-hand and right-hand arms of the coil always experience a force in the same direction.

Swaps the contact evert full turn, so that the left-hand and right-hand arms of the coil always experience a force in the same direction.

Swaps the contact evert half turn, so that the left-hand and right-hand arms of the coil do not experience a force in the same direction.

How can the direction of an induced potential be reversed?

By changing the direction of the magnetic field

By changing the direction of the magnetic field, and moving the magnet in the opposite direction

In a dynamo, what is the function of the split ring commutator?

It reverses the coil connections every half turn, to keep the output current in the same direction all the time

It strengthens the magnetic field to make a greater output current for the same rotation speed

It reverses the connections every half turn, to keep the output current alternating every half turn

It prevents the coil from overheating

What is the function of a microphone?

It converts sound waves into electrical signals

It converts electrical signals into sound waves

It converts alternating current signals into direct current signals

It converts direct current signals into alternating current signals

How does a moving-coil microphone create electrical signals?

A coil of wire vibrates in a magnetic field

An electromagnet vibrates inside a coil of wire

A magnet vibrates inside a coil of wire

A small battery vibrates in a circuit

Which of the following defines "transformer action"?

The transfer of energy from one circuit to another through electromagnetic induction

The transfer of energy from one circuit to another through electrostatic action

The development of counter electromotive force where a magnetic field cuts a coil

The development of a voltage across a coil as it cuts through a magnetic field

The function of a transformer is to ...

increase or decrease A.C voltage or A.C current levels

raise and lower the apparent power levels

transfer DC voltage from the primary winding to the secondary winding

transform mechanical energy into electrical energy

Why might a current-carrying wire be placed between a magnetic field?

To produce a force from the interaction of magnetic fields

To increase the current from the interaction of magnetic fields

To increase the voltage from the interaction of magnetic fields

How is a potential difference in a wire induced using a magnetic field.

Moving the conducting wire through to the magnetic field lines.

Moving the conducting wire along the magnetic field lines.

Which two factors affect the size of a potential difference induced by the generator effect?

Speed of movement - which the wire is passed through the magnetic field lines

Strength of the magnetic field - the size of the magnet

electrical and becomes mechanical

electrical and becomes chemical

mechanical and becomes electrical

mechanical and becomes chemical

The Fleming's right-hand rule is used when ....

current causes potential difference
