Test Structure

  • Section A: 10 MCQs (1 mark each)
  • Section B: 6 Short Answer (3 marks each)
  • Section C: 2 Long Answer (5 marks each)

Preparation Tips

  • • Know magnetic field formula B = μ₀I/(2πr) and right-hand rule direction
  • • Understand solenoid: B = μ₀nI inside, nearly zero outside
  • • DC motor: Split-ring commutator reverses current every half rotation for continuous rotation
  • • Force on conductor: F = BIL sinθ. Maximum when perpendicular (θ = 90°)
  • • Faraday's law: ε = -N(dΦ/dt). Negative sign represents Lenz's law (opposition)
  • • Transformer: Vs/Vp = Ns/Np. Power conserved: Vp × Ip = Vs × Is
  • • Fleming's left-hand rule for motor, right-hand for generator
  • • Practice motor diagrams showing coil, field, commutator, and force directions
