CHAPTER 3: ELECTROMAGNETISM3.1 Analysing the magnetic effect of a current-carrying conductor.[ … /33 x 100 = ……% ]
 A student is able to :
•
State what an electromagnet is.
•
Draw the magnetic field pattern due to a current in a :i) straight wire,ii) coil,iii) solenoid.
•
State the factors that affect the strength of the magnetic field of an electromagnet.
•
Describe the application of electromagnet in an electric bell.
3.1.1 Magnetic field due to a current in a straight wire
1. Right-hand Grip Rule states that the thumb of the right hand points to the direction of
 __________________ 
and the other four curled fingers points to direction of its
 __________________ 
2. Using the Right hand grip rule, draw the direction of current flow and pattern ofmagnetic fields lines formed.

3.1.2 Magnetic Field due to a Current in a Circular Coil
1. Draw the direction of current flows and pattern of magnetic fields lines formed.2. The direction of magnetic field lines can also be determined using the ____________ 
 3.1.3 Magnetic Field due to a Current in a Solenoid
1. A
_______________ 
is a combination of coils of wire wound around on some surface oron an iron core.2. Draw the direction of current flow. To check the poles formed:
 
i. Look from end P of the solenoid, the direction of current flow is _______________,the polarity at end P is _____________ ii. Look from end Q of the solenoid, the current flow is

Application of Electromagnet in an electric bell.
1.
Label the diagram of an electric bell as shown below.i. When the switch is closed and current flows in the solenoid, the soft iron coreis__________________.ii. The soft iron armature is________ 
 
towards the electromagnet and the hammer hitsthe gongiii. At the same time, the contact is

and the soft iron core
 ______ 
its magnetism.iv. The
 __________ 
brings the armature back to its original positionv. The contact is restored and the process is repeated.
