Magnets and magnetic fields


Specification reference:
 P.7.1 Permanent and induced magnetism, magnetic forces and fields

Answers to questions
1 repel (1), attract (1), North (1), South (1), compass (1) (5 marks)

2 The N pole will repel the N pole (1) and attract the S pole (1) until the magnets
rotate and then stick together (1). (3 marks)

3 a Shape of the field around the poles (1), shape of field between poles (1),
direction of field lines from N to S (1). (3 marks)

b Shape of the field around the poles (1), shape of field between poles (1),
direction of field lines from N to S (1). (3 marks)

4 permanent (1), induce (1), opposite (1), S (1), attracted (1) (5 marks)

5 a the magnet is the permanent magnet (1) and the opposite pole has been
induced in the paper clip by the magnet (1) (2 marks)
b the permanent magnet is from the magnetic field of the magnet inside the
motor (1) and the temporary magnetism is around the coil wire, present
only when a current is flowing in it (1) (2 marks)

c the permanent magnet is from the magnet inside the bell (1) the temporary
magnetism is in the circuit when the switch is pressed and the current
flows (1) (2 marks)
d The temporary magnetism is the field around the iron core when a current
flows in it (1) and the induced magnetism is found where the
electromagnet passes over a magnetic material such as iron (1) (2
marks)
e The Earth has a permanent magnetic field due to the circulation of
magnetic materials inside its core (1) (1 mark)
6 a By the use of a compass or the small potential difference induced across
the ends of a conductor that cuts through it (e.g., aircraft wings). (1
mark)
b Arrows going in to S pole at bottom (1), clockwise lines on left of diagram
(1), anticlockwise lines shown on right of diagram (1) (3 marks)
c Reference to some evidence, for example, change of magnetic field
direction over time or magnetic lines of field reversal on the seabed floor.
(1 mark)
d Some animals use the Earth’s magnetic field to navigate (1) so they may
not be able to get to their destination / end up in the wrong place (1)
(2 marks)
