Question 1

Question
Soft magnetic materials are hard to magnetise but stay magnets for longer periods
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 2

Question
With a steady current in an electromagnet no e.m.f is needed because the magnetic field is not changing
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 3

Question
To make an electromagnet stronger one can...
Answer
  • put more coils on the wire
  • run more electrical current through the wire
  • use an iron core
  • use a permanent magnet

Question 4

Question
When a magnet moves into a coil of wire, a voltage is induced and current flows... What kind of current is this?
Answer
  • Direct Current (DC)
  • Alternating Current (AC)

Question 5

Question
What is electromagnetic induction?
Answer
  • When a magnet cuts through a conductor resulting in a flow of current
  • To start an alternating current of electricity using an electromagnet
  • Creating an electromagnet out of a metal

Question 6

Question
If there are more coils on the primary coil than on the secondary coil it is [blank_start]a step down[blank_end]
Answer
  • a step down
  • a step up
  • a transformer

Question 7

Question
A.C p.d is produced in the...
Answer
  • secondary coil
  • primary coil

Question 8

Question
The A.C in the [blank_start]primary coil[blank_end] produces [blank_start]an alternating[blank_end] magnetic field
Answer
  • primary coil
  • secondary coil
  • an alternating
  • a direct

Question 9

Question
([blank_start]p.d[blank_end] across [blank_start]primary coil[blank_end] (v) / ([blank_start]p.d[blank_end] across [blank_start]secondary coil[blank_end] (v)) = ([blank_start]number of turns[blank_end] on [blank_start]primary coil[blank_end] / [blank_start]number of turns[blank_end] on [blank_start]secondary coil[blank_end])
Answer
  • p.d
  • Amps
  • primary coil
  • secondary coil
  • p.d
  • Amps
  • secondary coil
  • primary coil
  • number of turns
  • e.m.f
  • primary coil
  • secondary coil
  • number of turns
  • e.m.f
  • secondary coil
  • primary coil

Question 10

Question
A long coil with many turns is called a [blank_start]solenoid[blank_end]
Answer
  • solenoid

Question 11

Question
Relays are used to break a circuit if the electrical current is too high
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 12

Question
Why is iron a better core to use for an electromagnet?
Answer
  • steel is a hard metal and would become permanently magnetised
  • steel is a soft metal and would lose its magnetic ability to quickly
  • steel is not magnetic
