2.
a. Increase the current in the wire (by increasing the voltage of the power pack)
b. Increase the strength of the magnetic field (by adding more magnets to the yoke)

3. The motor spins faster which indicates a larger turning force

Exam style question
· Explain carefully how an alternating current in the coil of a loudspeaker can create a sound (4 marks)
[cid:image001.jpg@01CCE0EB.29C58A50]

Gapfill Model Answer
· When a ______ flows __ the ____, it is p____________ to the magnetic field
· This creates a ______ on the coil, due to ___ _____ effect, and so the coil _____
· When the _________ current reverses ______, the direction of the _______ is also reversed and the coil moves in the ________ direction
· The moving ____ is attached to a ____ which also moves __________ and forwards.
· This makes ___ ________ vibrate and this is the _____ we can hear

Model Answer

Any four points from...
· When a current flows in the coil, it is perpendicular to the magnetic field
· This creates a force on the coil, due to the motor effect, and so the coil moves
· When the alternating current reverses direction, the direction of the force is also reversed and the coil moves in the opposite direction
· The moving coil is attached to a cone which also moves backwards and forwards.
· This makes air particles vibrate and this is the sound we can hear

6.15 Plenary answers

16 January 2012
· Explain carefully how you can induce a current in a wire (3 marks)
· State 3 ways you can increase the size of this induced current (3 marks)

Answers
· The wire must be perpendicular to a magnetic field
· The wire and magnetic field must move relative to each other – the wire must “cut” through the magnetic field lines/lines of magnetic flux as it moves
· A current is induced in the wire. The induced current is perpendicular to both the field and the motion

· Increase the strength of the magnets
· Increase the speed of the relative motion
· Use a coil of wire instead of a single piece of wire

· If you…
· Turn the powerpack to dc

[cid:image001.jpg@01CCE252.359BA450]

No current is induced in the Secondary Coil. To induce current you need a changing magnetic field and this is not produced by applying dc to the Primary Coil
· Turn the powerpack to ac

[cid:image002.jpg@01CCE252.359BA450]

ac is induced in the Secondary Coil. To induce current you need a changing magnetic field and this is produced by applying ac to the Primary Coil
3. Increase the number of turns in the Secondary Coil

The size of the induced voltage in the secondary coils increases
4. Increase the voltage on the Primary Coil

[cid:image003.jpg@01CCE252.359BA450]

The size of the induced voltage in the secondary coils increases
5. Decrease the number of turns in the Secondary Coil

The size of the induced voltage in the secondary coils decreases

The size of the induced voltage in the secondary coils decreases
