Electricity and Magnetism

An electrical circuit is a bit like a

The law of magnetism:
hydroelectric power station
Same poles ____________ opposite poles ______________
Label the meters
and fill in the
blanks A magnet is an object that creates its own magnetic field and has a north and a
south pole
A magnetic material is: ______________________________________________
1) Water comes into the
reservoir increasing the _________________________________________________________________
gravitational potential energy
of the water behind the dam A magnetic field is a region of space where….____________________________

2) The control gate is ________________________________________________________________

opened allowing the water 1)A chemical reaction happens in the cell
to flow through the penstock increasing the _______ ______ _____. What can you say about an object that is repelled by a magnet?
(pipe) 2)The switch is closed allowing the
________ _________ _________ to flow
3) The flowing water round the circuit. Draw the magnetic field around this magnet
transfers energy to the
turbine to make it turn 3)These particles transfer _________ to Remember: field lines never touch and each one has 1 arrow
the light bulb to show the direction

The heating effect

Use the keywords in the box and a diagram to explain Metal atoms
why wires get hot when a current passes through them
Charge carrying
particles

Collisions

Vibration

Energy transfer

Draw in 3 compasses (like the one here to show in

which direction the needles would point)
 An electrical current causes magnetism… Using a magnet to produce electrical current

While the wire is _________ through

the field a ________flows in the wire.

If the wire is moved in the opposite

direction, the current __________
direction in the wire.

When you run an electrical_________ through a wire a _____________ field is produced

around it.
Coil up the wire and the field becomes ____________ and takes the same shape as a bar
__________.
Add a magnetic material as a ‘core’ and you have a strong magnet that can be switched
___ and ___
When the magnet is pushed into the coil
a __________is produced that flows
through the coil.
An 1.Use the box below
to draw a flow If you can spin a magnet near a coil then
electromagnet diagram to describe the _____________ will continue to be
how electricity in produced
You can make an
generated from
electromagnet stronger This is called an electrical __________
by: burning coal.
a) _________________
2.Then highlight the
b) _________________ section that is the
A radio uses 150 J or energy. 45 J was given off as sound energy.
same for a wind
c) _________________ The rest was given off as heat energy.
farm
1. How much heat energy was produced (in J)?

2. What was the efficiency of the radio?

3. Draw a SANKEY diagram to show the efficiency of the radio.

(include all the elements of a Sankey diagram and use a
pencil and ruler)
