End-topic quiz

Paper 2

Magnetic fields

Simple explanation

Magnetic field lines show the direction of the force on a north pole.

Analogy or example

A compass needle lines up with Earth's magnetic field.

Misconception trap

Magnetic fields only exist when magnets touch.

Real-world relevance

Magnetic fields connects equations and models to technology, transport, energy and space.

Vocabulary check

magnetic, fields, field, lines, show

Paper 2

Motors and induction

Simple explanation

A current-carrying wire in a magnetic field can experience a force.

Analogy or example

Moving a magnet into a coil can induce a potential difference.

Misconception trap

A generator needs a battery to produce a potential difference.

Real-world relevance

Motors and induction connects equations and models to technology, transport, energy and space.

Vocabulary check

motors, induction, current-carrying, wire, magnetic

Paper 2

Electromagnets and solenoids

Simple explanation

Electromagnets and solenoids sits inside Magnetism and Electromagnetism, so learn the core definition and the exam example that usually comes with it.

Analogy or example

For a longer answer, write the equation or model first, then use units, graph clues or direction carefully.

Misconception trap

Electromagnets and solenoids can be confused with nearby Magnetism and Electromagnetism ideas.

Real-world relevance

Electromagnets and solenoids connects equations and models to technology, transport, energy and space.

Vocabulary check

electromagnets, solenoids, sits, inside, magnetism

Paper 2

Motor effect

Simple explanation

Motor effect sits inside Magnetism and Electromagnetism, so learn the core definition and the exam example that usually comes with it.

Analogy or example

For a longer answer, write the equation or model first, then use units, graph clues or direction carefully.

Misconception trap

Motor effect can be confused with nearby Magnetism and Electromagnetism ideas.

Real-world relevance
