12 7 (A) Define Potential Difference (P.D.) .: 0625/42/F/M/23 © UCLES 2023

The document contains two physics questions. Question 7 asks about potential difference, electromotive force (EMF), and calculating the work done by a battery in a circuit. Question 8 describes a horizontal coil in a magnetic field that rotates, and asks about the direction of movement, explaining how this was determined, what happens when the coil reaches the vertical position, and the effects of adding a split-ring commutator and brushes.
