Igcse Physics c9 Prac Questions

The document discusses several topics related to electricity and magnetism including: the generation of electricity through induction when a magnetic field cuts a conductor; the operation of a DC motor including how reversing current direction every half turn causes rotation; and the operation of a step down transformer including inducing an output voltage in the secondary coil through a changing magnetic field in the primary.
