9True or false? A potential difference is induced across a wire when it is moved to cut across magnetic field lines.
- ATrue
- BFalse
10True or false? An induced potential difference will never lead to an induced current.
- ATrue
- BFalse
11How many coils of wire does a transformer have?
- AOne
- BTwo
- CThree
- DNone
12Which transformer has fewer turns on the secondary coil than on the primary coil?
- AStep-up transformer
- BStep-down transformer

19True or false? MRI stands for magnetic resonance imaging.
- ATrue
- BFalse
20True or false? MRI is an ionising form of imaging, while CT scanning is not.
- ATrue
- BFalse
