1.1 Introduction to Magnetism !evision"
You should have learned magnetism in form 3. In form 3, you learned that:
1. A magnet can attract certain type of metal.
2. The metals that can be attracted by a magnet are called the magnetic materials!
of ferromagnetic materials!. "#amples of magnetic materials are iron, steel,nic$el and cobalt.
%e also learned that a magnet has 2 poles&the 'orth (ole and the )outh (ole. There is a
magnetic field surrounding the magnet. A magnetic field is a region in the surrounding of
a magnet *hich a magnetic material e#periences a detectable force.
Magnetic #ield $ineThe magnetic filed of a magnet is represented by the magnetic field line. The magnetic
field line flo*ing out from the 'orth pole and flo*ing into the )outh pole.
The distance bet*een the
field lines represent the strength of the field, the closer the field line, the stronger thefield. In the diagram, the magnetic field A is stronger than magnetic field + because the
line in magnetic field A is closer.

The pattern and the direction of a magnetic field can be determined by a compass. The
pointer of the compass is al*ays in the direction of the magnetic field. In figure b-
above, *e can see that *hen a fe* compasses are put near to a bar magnet, the pointer ofthe compasses are all in the direction of the magnetic field.
If a compass is placed near to a current carrying *ire, the pointer of the compass *ill
point along the direction of the magnetic field generated by the current. This *ill discussin electromagnetism.
%.1 &hat is 'lectromagnetism
%hen current passes through a conductor, magnetic field *ill be
generated around the conductor and the conductor become a magnet.This phenomenon is called electromagnetism. )ince the magnet is
produced electric current, it is called the electromagnet.
An electromagnet is a type of magnet in *hich the magnetic field isproduced by a flo* of electric current. The magnetic field disappears
*hen the current ceases.
In short, *hen current flo* through a conductor, magnetic field *ill
be generated. %hen the current ceases, the magnetic field disappear.

The magnetic field forms by straight *ire are concentric circles around the *ire as sho*n

direction of the magnetic field line is also inversed.
The direction of the magnetic field line can be determined by the a#*ells )cre* ule

secondary current Is-, secondary potential difference Qs- and secondary coil
respectively.
&or5ing Principle o( ,rans(ormer
1. A transformer consists of a primary coil and a secondary coil *ound on a soft ironcore.
2. %hen an alternating current flo*s in the primary coil, a changing magnetic flu# is
generated around the primary coil.
3. The changing magnetic flu# is transferred to the secondary coil through the ironcore.
O. The changing magnetic flu# is cut by the secondary coil, hence induces an e.m.f.
in the secondary coil.;. The magnitude of the output voltage can be controlled by the ratio of the number
of primary coil and secondary coil.
,ypes o( Current in ,rans(ormerThe current in the primary circuit must be alternating current because alternating current
can produce changing magnetic flu#. A changing magnetic flu# is needed to induce e.m.f.in secondary coil.
The induced current in secondary is also an alternating current. The freuency of the
alternating current in secondary coil is same as the freuency of the primary current.
The alternating in the secondary circuit can be converted into direct current by using apair of diode.

A step&up transformer is one *here the e.m.f. in the secondary coil is greater than the
e.m.f. in the primary coil. It is used to increases the potential difference. The number of*indings in the secondary *inding is greater than the number of *indings in the primary
coil. The current in the primary coil is greater than the current in the secondary coil.
Step-down trans(ormer6onversely, a step&do*n transformer is one *here the e.m.f. in the secondary coil is lessthan the e.m.f. in the primary coil. It is used to reduce the potential difference. The
number of *indings in the primary *inding is greater than the number of *indings in the

Methods to increase the e((iciency7se thic$ copper *ires of lo* resistance. 7se coolant to decrease the temperature of thetransformer.
*eating e((ect o( induced eddy currentsIn the iron core. %hen the magnetic field in the iron core fluctuates, eddy currents are
generated in the iron core.
Methods to increase the e((iciency
7se a laminated iron core *hereby each layer is insulated *ith enamel paint to preventthe flo* of eddy currents. The high resistance bet*een layers of the iron core decrease
the prevalence of eddy currents and heat.
Magneti9ation o( the iron core.The energy used in the magnetiFation and de&magnetiFation of the iron core each time
current changes its direction is $no*n as hysterisis. This energy is lost as heat *hichsubseuently heats up the iron core.
Methods to increase the e((iciency
7se a soft iron core that is easily magnetiFed and de&magnetiFed.

The advantages of using fossil fuel such as petroleum, natural gasand coal as a source of energy to generate electricity are.
1. It is relatively easy to be collected as they are present in largeamount in one place.
2. It contains high energy capacity.
The disadvantages of using fossil fuel as a source of energy are.1. It releases a lot carbon dio#ide *hen it is burned. Earge amount
of carbon dio#ide presence in the atmosphere *ill cause theincrease of the temperature of the atmosphere, $no*n as global

The advantages of using hydroelectric as a source of energy togenerate electricity are.
1. It is a rene*able energy.2. +uilding a dam does not pollute the environment.
3. In a lot of country, *ater can be easily obtained and is free.

The disadvantages of using hydroelectric as a source of energy are.1. +uilding a dam *ill cause a large area flooded *ith *ater, and
hence seriously destroys the ecosystem nearby.2. The flooded area causes the loss of *ild life habitat and
agriculture land.3. 8am failure happens *ill cause a disaster to the lo*er reaches
area of the river.O. The cost to build a dam is very high.

1. It is a rene*able energy.
2. It does not pollute the environment.3. It is suitable for mountain area because the *ind speed in
mountain area is relatively high.
The disadvantages of using *ind as a source of energy are.
1. A large area is needed to build the *indmills.
2. The *indmills *ill produce high level of noise.3. The po*er generated is inconsistent due to the inconsistent of
the *ind speed and *ind direction.

The advantages of using s1. It is a rene*able energy.
2. )unlight is free and can be obtained easily.3. It does not pollute the air.
The disadvantages of using solar energy as a source of energy are.1. A large area is needed to install the solar plate.
2. The amount of sunlight at non&tropical area depends on theseason.
3. The energy collected need to be store in a cell so that it can beused at the time sunlight is not present.
O. Its capacity is limited by the capacity of the cell. 'ormally acell has relatively lo* capacity.
