  • 13.2 Recall the factors that affect the size and direction of an
    induced potential difference
    The size of the induced potential difference is determined by:
    The speed at which the wire, coil or magnet is moved.
    The number of turns on the coils of wire.
    The size of the coils.
    The strength of the magnetic field.
  • 13.2 describe how the
    magnetic field produced opposes the original change
    As with all currents, the induced current creates a magnetic field around itself. Note that this magnetic field opposes the original change. For example, if a magnet is moved into a coil of wire, the induced magnetic field tends to repel the magnet back out of the coil.
  • 13.5 Explain how an alternating current in one circuit can
    induce a current in another circuit in a transformer
    An alternating current creates a changing magnetic field, which cuts through the secondary coil, which induces a (alternating) current in the secondary coil.
  • 13.6 Recall that a transformer can change the size of...
    an alternating voltage
  • 14.1 Use a simple kinetic theory model to explain the different states
    of matter (solids, liquids and gases) in terms of the movement
    and arrangement of particles - liquid
    .They flow and take the shape of their container because the particles are free to move around each other
    .They cannot be compressed or squashed because the particles are close together and have no space to move into
