Subject outcome
Subject outcome 4.2: State, analyse and apply principles in electromagnetism
Learning outcomes
- Identify and draw diagrams of the magnetic field associated with current in a long, straight current-carrying conductor and in a solenoid.
- Identify and describe the use of the magnetic field and its application in electromagnets.
- Identify the effect of the magnetic field on a charged particle in motion.
- Describe and apply electromagnetic induction to produce current by changing magnetic fields and how it is applied in dynamos and transformers.
