Magnetic Fields and Induction Problem Solving Mastery

A set of 30 exam-style questions covering the magnetic fields and electromagnetic induction content of A-level Physics, with full mark schemes, worked solutions and teacher notes. Written to match the AQA A-level Physics specification (7408), and suitable for other exam boards’ magnetic fields and induction content too.

What’s included

• 30 multi-part exam-style questions, increasing in difficulty
• Full mark schemes for every question
• Fully worked solutions with clear, structured steps
• Teacher notes highlighting key ideas and common misconceptions

Content coverage

• Magnetic flux density, the tesla and Fleming’s left-hand rule
• Force on a current-carrying wire, including forces on a coil and a rod on rails
• Required practical: the force on a current-carrying wire using a top-pan balance
• Force on a moving charge and circular paths of charged particles
• Applications: the cyclotron, velocity selector, electron beams and isotope separation
• Magnetic flux and flux linkage, including coils at an angle to the field
• Required practical: flux linkage and the angle of a search coil, using an oscilloscope
• Electromagnetic induction: Faraday’s law and Lenz’s law
• Induced emf in moving rods, rotating coils and dynamos, and electromagnetic braking
• Alternating current: peak, peak-to-peak and rms values, mains supply and power
• Using an oscilloscope to measure dc and ac, frequency and period
• Transformers: turns ratio, efficiency, eddy currents and energy losses
• Transmitting electricity over the National Grid
• Mixed multi-step exam-style problems

Who is it for?

• A-level Physics students in Year 13, and anyone revising for their final exams
• Teachers looking for ready-to-use exam practice
• Homework, independent study, revision or assessment

Why use it?

• Written by an experienced Head of Physics to match the style and difficulty of real exam questions
• Both required practicals covered in exam-style questions
• Gives repeated practice at the things students find hardest in induction: finding the direction of the induced current with Lenz’s law, and measuring the angle from the normal to the coil, not from its plane
• Builds confidence from standard questions up to more challenging ones
• Saves time on lesson planning and resource creation
