(P) 2. Complete the sentences by adding the correct words.

a) In a series circuit, the current stays the same, but the voltage splits along the components.

b) In a parallel circuit, the current splits along the paths, but the voltage is the same along all
components.

(P) 3. Complete the text.

Magnetism is a force that acts only between magnetic materials like iron, cobalt and
nickel. Magnets have 2 poles – a north and a south. If two magnets are put together
the poles that are the same will repel each other. If two magnets are put together
the poles that are different will attract each other.

(P) 4. A bar magnet is placed on the desk and students observe the iron filings move around it.

A) Draw field lines on the bar magnet below

B) State three facts about magnetic field lines.

(use the following words: never / north / strongest / south)

Magnetic field lines......

1. travel from NORTH to SOUTH.
2. NEVER cross one another.
3. Are STRONGEST at the poles.

(P) 5. Electromagnets are used in everyday life. Answer the questions about electromagnets.

A) How can you increase the strength of an electromagnet? Give 3 different options.
i. Add a soft iron core

ii. Increase the number of coils

iii. Increase the current

B) Give three uses of electromagnets. Hint: look around the classroom.

Microphone, speakers & headphones

(P) 6. A contact force occurs when two objects are physically touching. List three different contact
forces and describe them.

1. Applied: a force is put on an object by a person or another object.

2. Tension : an object is being stretched (for example a rope).

3. Friction: two objects slide past each other.

(P) 7. Define the four energy stores below:
