test on electromagnetism

The document consists of a series of questions related to electromagnetism, transformers, and DC motors, including inquiries about magnetic polarity, core materials, and the relationship between coils in transformers. It also asks for diagrams and explanations of concepts such as the operation of a DC motor and the effects of moving a magnet near coils. Additionally, it covers ways to enhance magnetic fields and the properties of electromagnets compared to permanent magnets.
