Describe the attraction and repulsion between unlike and like poles of permanent magnets and explain the difference between permanent and induced magnets
Draw the magnetic field pattern of a bar magnet, showing how field strength and direction are indicated and change from one point to another
Explain how the behaviour of a magnetic compass is related to evidence that the core of the Earth must be magnetic
Describe how to plot the magnetic field pattern of a magnet using a compass
State examples of how the magnetic effect of a current can be demonstrated and explain how a solenoid arrangement can increase the magnetic effect of the current
Draw the magnetic field pattern for a straight wire carrying a current and for a solenoid (showing the direction of the field)
HT ONLY: State and use Fleming's left-hand rule and explain what the size of the induced force depends on
HT ONLY: Calculate the force on a conductor carrying a current at right angles to a magnetic field by applying, but not recalling, the equation: [ F = BIL ]
HT ONLY: Explain how rotation is caused in an electric motor
