Physics B Module 11 Homework
Directions: Complete the following problems showing all of your work. Turn in
your completed worksheet to your teacher.
Short Answer
1. How does induced magnetism work. Use the terms magnetic induction and magnetic domain.
An induced magnet is a material that is magnetic only when it is placed in a magnetic
field. Induced magnets are always attracted to (and never repelled by) permanent
magnets.
2. Explain how the Earth acts like a large bar magnet.
The outer core of the Earth contains a lot of iron in a molten state. As the Earth spins,
this iron moves and creates the Earth's magnetic field close magnetic field Area
surrounding a magnet that can exert a force on magnetic materials, the Earth acts as if
there is a huge bar magnet at its centre.
3. Explain the right‐hand rule for finding the direction of the magnetic field on a current‐carrying wire.
If you point your pointer finger in the direction the positive charge is moving, and then
your middle finger in the direction of the magnetic field, your thumb points in the
direction of the magnetic force pushing on the moving charge.

4. What is an electromagnet?
An electromagnet is a type of magnet in which the magnetic field is produced by an
electric current.
5. Explain Andre‐Marie Ampere’s contributions to the study of electricity and magnetism.
Ampère became one of the first people to measure, rather than simply detect, electric
currents by using a device of his own invention.
6. What is Faraday’s Law and Maxwell’s Counterpart to Faraday’s Law?
Faraday's Law describes the induction of an electric field by a changing magnetic field,
Maxwell's addition to Ampère's Law introduced the concept that changing electric
fields also produce magnetic fields.
7. What is the photoelectric effect and why couldn’t it be explained by classical physics?
The photoelectric effect is the emission of electrons from a material caused by
electromagnetic radiation.The photoelectric effect has three reasons why it cant be
explained by classical physics: The absence of a lag time, the independence of the
kinetic energy, and the presence of a cut-off frequency.
8. What do scientists mean when they say that there is a wave‐particle duality?
The Wave-Particle Duality theory states that waves can exhibit particle like properties
while particles can exhibit wave like properties. This definition opposes Newtonian
Physics.

Practice
9. Draw a bar magnet and its magnetic field lines.
10. Draw two sets of bar magnets. One where the bar magnets are “attracting” each other and one
where they are “repelling” each other. Draw the field lines in each case as well.
11. A current‐carrying wire carries a current of 0.345 A. What is the magnitude and direction f the
magnetic field at point P, 0.030 meters away from the wire as shown?

12. A proton moving east at 2.64 x 105 m/s moves through a magnetic field of 2.55 x 10‐6 T to the north.
What is the magnitude and direction of the force that the proton experiences?
13. During a photoelectric effect experiment, light possessing 3.54 eV of energy is incident on a
photoelectric material. The work function of the material is equal to 1.53 eV. What is the kinetic
energy (in eV) of the electrons emitted?
14. A photon has an energy of 3.2 eV. What is the frequency of the photon?
15. What is the de Broglie wavelength of an 11 kg cat that is moving at 2.10 m/s?

Application
16. A primary coil in a transformer carries a voltage of 220 V with a total of 660 turns in its coil. If a
secondary coil is used to step down the voltage to 120 V, how many turns should it have it in the
secondary coil?
