9  Magnets and currents

1 Poles attracting: C
Poles repelling: A, B
2 copper, iron, steel, steel, iron
3 The wire moves up or down.
Reversing the current direction would make the wire move
the opposite way.
4 magnet, emf, induction, conductor, changing
5 From top to bottom:
transformer, DC motor, magnetic relay, AC generator
6 AC, 48, iron
7 The field round a solenoid is similar to that round a bar
magnet.
If an iron core is put in the solenoid, the field strength is
increased.
If the current is reduced the field gets weaker.
8 downwards, downwards, B, downwards
9 The wire moves upwards.
10 more, zero, opposite
11 96, 96, 2
