Paper 1 Magnetic Fields Answers
| Q | Answer | Reason |
|---|
| 1 | B | Magnetic field lines leave north and enter south outside the magnet. |
| 2 | B | Closer spacing indicates larger field magnitude. |
| 3 | B | Dot means arrow tip coming out. |
| 4 | B | Cross means arrow tail going into the page. |
| 5 | B | Straight-wire field lines are concentric circles. |
| 6 | B | Use right-hand grip rule for fields around currents. |
| 7 | A | For a given distance, B∝I. |
| 8 | A | More turns add field contributions. |
| 9 | B | Long solenoid field is nearly uniform inside. |
| 10 | C | Soft iron concentrates magnetic flux. |
| 11 | B | Anticlockwise current viewed from an end gives north pole. |
| 12 | B | Magnetic field lines do not start/end on isolated poles. |
| 13 | A | Uniform field is drawn with parallel equal-spaced lines. |
| 14 | B | Fields between same-direction currents partly oppose. |
| 15 | B | Compass needle follows local magnetic field. |
| 16 | B | Currents/moving charges produce magnetic fields. |
| 17 | A | SI unit of magnetic flux density is tesla. |
| 18 | B | Arrows indicate magnetic field direction. |
| 19 | A | Solenoid field is proportional to current approximately. |
| 20 | B | Right-hand grip direction reverses with current. |
