4a copper and iron

4b keep the battery/cell/bulb the same

4c the wires might get hot and

burn/damage
4d only turn the circuit on for a short
time
5 motors, scrapyards, can

6a compass
iron filings
6b correct shaped field
arrows from north to south

7 QWC question (6 marks).
Example answers:
 Wrap the copper wire around an
iron nail.
 Connect it to the battery.
 Check that the electromagnet
works by checking that it picks
up paperclips.
 Iron will be attracted to the
electromagnet, copper will not.
 Move the electromagnet over
the pile iron and copper pieces
 Move the electromagnet away
and turn off the battery to allow
the iron to drop.
 Repeat until all the iron has
been removed leaving a pile of
copper.
8a Lamp X would continue to shine

8b A1 = A2 + A3 , the current in A2 and

 A3 add up to the current in A1 
8c The lamp is designed to work with a
current of 0.2A flowing through it.
A bigger current could break the
lamp.
9a How difficult it is for a current to
flow through a circuit component.
9b R = V/I
(R = 8/0.4)
R = 20 Ω/Ohms
