On the specification

BoardSpecStatement
AQA GCSE 84634.7.2.1aElectromagnetism
Edexcel GCSE 1PH012.7Describe how to show that a current can create a magnetic effect around a long straight conductor, describing the shape of the magnetic field produced and relating the direction of the magnetic field to the direction of the current
Edexcel GCSE 1PH012.8Recall that the strength of the field depends on the size of the current and the distance from the long straight conductor
Edexcel GCSE 1PH012.9Explain how inside a solenoid (an example of an electromagnet) the fields from individual coils a add together to form a very strong almost uniform field along the centre of the solenoid b cancel to give a weaker field outside the solenoid
OCR GCSE J249P4.1eDescribe how to show that a current can create a magnetic effect and describe the directions of the magnetic field around a conducting wire
OCR GCSE J249P4.1fRecall that the strength of the field depends on the current and the distance from the conductor
OCR GCSE J249P4.1gExplain how solenoid arrangements can enhance the magnetic effect
For teachers

This GCSE Physics lesson teaches the magnetic effect of a current, solenoids and electromagnets. It suits Foundation and Higher tier students.
