Q10 (b)
(ii)
When a current flows through the coil of an ammeter, the magnet field of
the magnet overlaps with the magnetic field of the current carrying coil and
the coil experiences a force since the current is flowing in opposite directions
in the coil.it experiences equal force in opposite directions which makes the
coil turn, allowing the ammeter to measure the current passing through it.

Using a voltmeter that measures to more decimal places. (From marking scheme)
A step up transformer is placed next to the power station. It increases the voltage and
decreases the current to reduce heat loss in the wire.
Whereas
A step down transformer is placed just before power distributions. It decreases the
voltage and increases the voltage to meet the demands of the consumers.

As the cyclist pedals, the wheel rotates and makes a small magnet within
the dynamo turn around. As its magnet turns, its magnetic field lines turn
too. The field lines cut through the coil inducing a current in it.The
The coil will turn and the field lines get cut which induces a voltage.

magnetic field around the coil in size and direction which overlaps with the
magnet field of the magnet and produces a varying force in size and
direction in the coil which makes the paper cone vibrate and generate sound
waves.

Whereas
The movement of the wire up and down in the magnetic field induces a voltage,
which in turn generates alternating a current in the wire. Ammeter reading goes
negative (because) wire changes direction.
