    Electricity & Magnetism Homework
    1. Fill in the blanks on the following sentences:
    (3)

    • Positive charges repel positive charges


    • Negative charges repel negative charges
    • Positive charges attract negative charges

    2. Write a definition for the following terms:


    (3)

    a) Current: An electric current is a flow of charge, it is the flow of


    electrons carrying a negative charge.
    b) Potential difference: Potential difference tells us the change of
    energy in a circuit.
    c) Resistance: This factor affects how easy or hard it is for current
    to flow around a circuit.

    3. Look at the following circuits, complete the blanks to identify


    each of the ammeter readings.
    (4)
    4. Complete the following calculation:
    (4)
    a) 6V / 2A = 3Ω
    b) 10V / 5Ω = 2A
    c) 0.5A x 8Ω = 4V
    d) 9V / 3A = 3Ω

    6. Describe how you would use a nail, piece of wire, crocodile clips
    and a battery to make an electromagnet, and explain three ways
    in which you could increase its strength.
    (6)

    Attach crocodile clips to the ends of a piece of wire, wrap the piece
    of wire around an iron nail and attach the crocodile clips to either
    end of a battery – this makes an electromagnet. To increase the
    strength of an electromagnet: increase the number of loops of wire
    around the iron core; increase the current flowing through the wire;
    use a magnetic material as the core will increase the strength of the
    Total marks: _____ / 20 Grade: ______ R/A/G: _______
    electromagnet.

    Grading: I will give work out a percentage for the students


    work and award RED/AMBER/GREEN based on the following
    percentage boundaries:

    If they have achieved above 70%, I will award them a


    GREEN. If they have achieved between 40 - 70% I will
    award them an AMBER. If they achieve below 40%, I
    will award them a RED.
