    This document provides a checklist of concepts related to electromagnetic effects for a CiE iGCSE Physics exam. It outlines core concepts students should understand, such as how a changing magnetic field can induce an e.m.f. in a conductor, how to distinguish between direct and alternating current, and the basic construction and use of transformers. More advanced supplemental concepts are also listed, including describing experiments to demonstrate electromagnetic induction, factors affecting induced e.m.f., the operation of rotating-coil generators and transformers, and the advantages of high-voltage transmission.
