4 Diagram 4.

1 shows an electromagnet at the end of the arm of a crane lifting up some

scrap iron.
Diagram 4.2 shows some pieces of scrap iron dropping off when the current in the
electromagnet is reduced.

Question 4

1 4(a) 1 Write a suitable inference

The current affects the strength of the magnetic field
of an electromagnet
1 (b) 1 Write a suitable hypothesis
The greater the current, the stronger the magnetic
field
10 (c) (i) 1 Write the aim of the experiment
To investigate the relationship between the current
and the strength of the magnetic field of an
electromagnet.
(ii) 2 State the manipulated variable and responding
variable
Manipulated variable : current, I
Responding variable : number of paper clips, N
3 State the fixed variable
The number of turns of the coil
(iii 4 State the complete list of apparatus and materials
) D.c. power supply, ammeter, rheostat, petri dish,
retort stand with clamp, paper clips, soft iron rod,
insulated copper wire, and connecting wires.
(iv) 5 Draw a functional diagram of the apparatus
(v) 6 State how the manipulated variable is controlled
The current was switched on.
The rheostat was adjusted to obtain a current of 0.5 A
7 State how the responding variable is measured
The number of paper clips, N attracted to the soft
iron rod was counted
8 State how the procedure is repeated to obtain at
least 5 sets of results
The procedure was repeated for the values of current,
I = 1.0 A, 1.5 A, 2.0 A, 2.5 A and 3.0 A
(vi) 9 State how the data is tabulated
Current, I / A Number of paper clips
attracted, N
0.5
1.0
1.5
2.0
2.5
3.0
