6. What would make the direction of the force on the wire change?

  • a change in the direction of the current a change in the direction of the magnetic field.
  • a change in the direction of the current or the size of the current
  • a change in the direction of the magnetic field or a change in the size of the current

7. How is the speed of the motor increased?

  • increasing the size of the current
  • changing the direction of the current

8. How can the direction of the motor be reversed?

  • reversing the direction of the current
  • reversing the direction of the potential difference

9. Why does the coil spin when the current passes through the coil?

  • A force moves on either side due to the motor effect
  • A force moves on neither side of the coil due to the motor effect

10. Why does the coil spin when the current passes through the coil?

  • the force is different strengths on each side of the coil
  • the forces go in opposite directions either side of the coil
  • the force is the same on both sides

11. What does the split-ring commutator do?

  • changes the direction of the current every half tun
  • keeps the direction of the cur

12. The sides swap over every half turn so the coil is pushed in different directions

  • False
  • True

13. The sides swap over every half turn so the coil is pushed in the same direction

  • True
  • False

14. The sides do not swap.

  • False
  • True

15. What happens if a wire cuts through magnetic field lines?

  • a potential difference is induced across ends of the wire
  • a current is induced across the ends of the wire

16. What happens if a magnet is moved into a coil of wire?

  • a potential difference is introduced across the ends of a wire
  • a current is introduced across the ends of the wire

17. What happens if the wire or coil is part of a complete circuit?

  • A current is induced in the circuit
  • A p.d is induced in the circuit

18. The size of the induced potential difference is increased by increasing....

  • the strength of the magnetic field
  • the number of turns on the coil
  • all of the above
  • The speed of movement
  • the area of the coil

19. What happens in a dynamo?

  • A magnet spins, causing magnetic frild lines to continuously cut across the wires of a coil.
  • A magnet spins, causing magnetic field lines to continuously cut across the wires of a coil, this induces an alternating p.d and an alternating current.
  • ABBA.
  • A magnet spins, causing magnetic frild lines to continuously cut across the wires of a coil, inducing an alternating pd.
  • A magnet spins, causing magnetic frild lines to continuously cut across the wires of a coil, inducing an alternating current.

20. What happens in a generator?

  • a coil is inside a moving magnetic field
  • a coil is rotated inside a stationary magnetic field
  • a coil is rotated inside a moving magnetic field.
  • a coil is stationary inside a stationary magnetic field
