Part of the Edexcel GCSE Combined Science curriculum.
Edexcel GCSE Combined Science 12 Magnetism and the Motor Effect is a step-by-step online learn guide for GCSE students in Years 10 and 11, mapped to the Edexcel specification (Pearson Edexcel GCSE (9–1) Combined Science (1SC0) – Topic 12 Magnetism and the motor effect). It covers magnets and magnetic materials, magnetic fields, the Earth's magnetic field, magnetic fields around a current, solenoids and electromagnets, the motor effect and calculating the force: F = B × I × l, then brings it all together with mixed retrieval and exam practice.
There are 23 short steps of about 15 minutes (roughly 6 hours of learning), each made of bite-size explanations with key words, tables and examples, and every bite-size is followed by an activity you check straight away. Key terms include Magnetic pole, Repulsion, Magnetic field, Field line, Compass, Earth's magnetic field, Magnetic effect of a current, Concentric circles, Solenoid, Electromagnet, Motor effect and Interacting fields.
