Build a Simple Ammeter SK#5

As current in the electromagnet varies so does the force on the compass needle. Electricity flowing through a wire creates a magnetic field around that wire.

Topic 7 Magnetism

A student is investigating the strength of electromagnets. Figure 1 shows three electromagnets. The student hung a line of paper clips from each electromagnet.

(6) (Total 7 marks) Q3.In this question you will be assessed on using good English, organising information clearly and using specialist terms where appropriate. There are two types of traditional transformer; step-up and step-down. Describe the similarities and differences between a step-up transformer and a step-down transformer.

You should include details of:

construction, including materials used the effect the transformer has on the input potential difference (p.d.).

You should not draw a diagram.

Indicative content

the current in the electrical circuit is varying the current passes through the coil the coil experiences a force (inwards or outwards) reversing the current reverses the force the size of the current affects the size of the force the varying current causes the coil to vibrate the (vibrating) coil causes the cone to vibrate the vibrating cone causes the air molecules to move the movement of the air molecules produces the pressure variations in the air

connect the wire to the power supply (with connecting leads and croc clips) switch on the power supply accept a current should be sent along the wire Details of how to vary the strength of the electromagnet change the number of turns (on the coil) change the current (through the coil) change the separation of the turns allow change the potential difference (across the coil) accept wrap the coil more tightly

Details of how to test the electromagnet

suspend paperclips from the electromagnet the more paperclips suspended, the stronger the electromagnet is clamp the electromagnet at different distances from the paperclip(s) the further the distance from which paperclips can be attracted the stronger the electromagnet is test before and after making alterations to change the strength compare the results from before and after making alterations use de-magnetised paper clips accept count the number of paperclips with different current or p.d. or no. of turns or core and see if the number changes/increases 6 [7] M3.Marks awarded for this answer will be determined by the Quality of Written Communication (QWC) as well as the standard of the scientific response.
