On the specification

BoardSpecStatement
AQA GCSE 84634.7.1.2Magnetic fields
Edexcel GCSE 1PH012.4Describe the shape and direction of the magnetic field around bar magnets and for a uniform field, and relate the strength of the field to the concentration of lines
Edexcel GCSE 1PH012.5Describe the use of plotting compasses to show the shape and direction of the field of a magnet and the Earth’s magnetic field
Edexcel GCSE 1PH012.6Explain how the behaviour of a magnetic compass is related to evidence that the core of the Earth must be magnetic
OCR GCSE J249P4.1cDescribe the characteristics of the magnetic field of a magnet, showing how strength and direction change from one point to another
OCR GCSE J249P4.1dExplain how the behaviour of a magnetic (dipping) compass is related to evidence that the core of the Earth must be magnetic
For teachers

This GCSE Physics lesson teaches magnetic fields, plotting compasses and the Earth's field. It suits Foundation and Higher tier students.
