Electromagnetic induction — practice question

A computer hard disk has a layer made of magnetic material.
(a)[1]

Describe how a magnet can be used to determine whether a sample of material is magnetic or non-magnetic.

(b(i))[2]

Region 2 exerts a magnetic force on region 1. State the direction of the magnetic force on region 1 and explain the reason for it.

(b(ii))[1]

On Fig. 7.1, add arrows to the field lines to indicate the direction of the magnetic field close to the boundary between region 1 and region 2.

(b(iii)-1)[1]

Explain why a voltage is induced in the coil.

(b(iii)-2)[1]

Suggest why the coil needs to be close to the layer.
