Electromagnetic effects — practice question

(a)[1]

Describe the distinction between a direct current (d.c.) and an alternating current (a.c.).

(b(i))[1]

On Fig. 9.2, draw a graph to show how the current in the heater changes with time.

(b(ii))[2]

Calculate the power output of the heater when the current is $0.75\text{ A}$.

(c(i))[1]

On Fig. 9.3, draw a straight arrow to show the direction in which side AB of the coil is moving. Give this arrow the label M.

(c(ii))[2]

Deduce the direction of the current induced in side AB of the coil and give your reasoning.

(c(iii))[2]

State two changes that the alternating voltage undergoes.
