Electromagnetic effects — practice question

Fig. 11.1 shows a conductor standing vertically and passing through a horizontal card. The labels on the diagram are: conductor, card.
(a(i))[2]

On Fig. 11.1, add a cell and a switch in series with the conductor so that the circuit is complete. Use the proper circuit symbols.

(a(ii))[2]

Describe the pattern of the magnetic field that is seen.

(a(iii))[1]

State the effect, if any, on the pattern he observes.

(b)[4]

Describe an experiment that demonstrates a force on a current-carrying conductor in a magnetic field. Show how the apparatus is set up. Include a diagram in your answer.
