11An electromagnet with a soft-iron core is connected to a battery and an open
switch. The soft-iron core is just above some small soft-iron nails.
The switch is now closed, left closed for a few seconds, and then opened.
What do the soft-iron nails do as the switch is closed, and what do they do when the switch is then opened?
- AA
- BB
- CC
- DD
12Which action will demagnetise a magnetised piece of steel?
- AA Cool it in a freezer for several hours.
- BB Hit it repeatedly with a hammer.
- CC Put it in a coil carrying a direct current (d.c.).
- DD Put it near an unmagnetised piece of iron.
13A student investigates the force on a bar magnet placed near a current-carrying coil. She carries out three different experiments.
In experiment 1, the magnet is attracted to the coil.
Which row shows what happens in the other two experiments?
- AA
- BB
- CC
- DD
14Three cores of different metals, P, Q and R, are placed inside identical coils of wire. At least one of the metals is non-ferrous. The cores are held above some iron nails.
