A cross-section through a current-carrying solenoid is shown in Fig. 10.1. On Fig. 10.1, draw field lines to represent the magnetic field inside the solenoid. [Figure 10.1]
- (a)A cross-section through a current-carrying solenoid is shown in Fig. 10.1. On Fig. 10.1, draw field lines to represent the magnetic field inside the solenoid. [Figure 10.1][3]
- (b)State Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction.[2]
- (c)A coil of insulated wire is wound on to a soft-iron core. The coil is connected in series with a battery, a switch and an ammeter, as shown in Fig. 10.2. Use laws of electromagnetic induction to explain why, when the switch is closed, the current increases gradually to its maximum value. [Figure 10.2][3]

Mark scheme
Marking points from the official mark scheme (Feb/Mar 2019). The mark or mark type is shown in brackets.
- [B1] single straight line along full length of solenoid
- [B1] at least two more parallel lines along full length of solenoid
- [B1] correct direction – right to left
- [M1] (induced) e.m.f. proportional / equal to rate
- [A1] of change of (magnetic) flux (linkage)
- [B1] increasing current causes increasing flux
- [B1] increasing flux induces e.m.f. in coil
- [B1] (induced) e.m.f. opposes growth of current
