Ok, basic revision - what three things increase the strength any electromagnet ?
Coils, current and core
1 of 10
In the motor effect... 1______ generates 2_______
1current 2movement
2 of 10
Put these in the correct order for how the motor effect works: a)the wire experiences a force b)when current flows through the wire it forms a magnetic field c)the wire coil rotates d) the magnetic field of the wire interacts with the permanent magnetic f
B,d,a,c
3 of 10
A _______ in a simple electric motor reverses the current and so keeps the wire/magnet spinning in one direction.
Spilt ring commutator
4 of 10
A generator uses...
A.C current
5 of 10
One purpose of brushes in a generator circuit is...
To ensure the circuit remains complete
6 of 10
TRANSFORMERS! p.d in primary/1____ = 2____/turns in secondary
1p.d in secondary 2turns in primary
7 of 10
Transformers - If there are more turns in the primary than in the secondary coil, it is a ______ transformer
Step-down
8 of 10
Out these in order for how a transformer works: a)Induces an a.c current in the secondary coil b)creates a continually changing magnetic field in the iron core c)a.c p.d in primary coil d)a.c current flows
C,d,b,a

bit violent.. the quiz isnt that bad is it? :S

In the motor effect, the direction of the force on the wire is reversed if the direction of the current and the direction of the magnetic field are both reversed

^ That question is true, because both of those factors do reverse the force. From the Left hand rule, remember?

nishat, it's false because 2 factors are changed in which therefore causes no change in the direction of the force. its like having two minuses which would make a plus, whilst if you had one minus it would remain a minus. therefore, if only say the direction of the current is changed then the force on the wire would be reversed :)
