About Me

I am a full time specialist Physics tutor operating in Klang Valley. I've been educating student for more than 10 years. My specialty is to transform student that had failed their physics subject into a better result. Even some of them managed to get an A in their final exam, You can read their testimony in this blog. I provide home tuition for physics subject to those living nearby KL especially around W.Maju, Ampang,Melawati and Setiawangsa. At the same time i 'm giving online tuition to all malaysia & overseas student. For tuition centre looking for a physics tutor, i'm also able to give seminar and conduct weekly classes. Meanwhile,for school teachers who are organising physics seminar, i am happy to assist u in that aspect. If u have enquiry on my service, do contact or whatsap me at 017-2877589 or email me at celikfizik @ gmail . com

SPM Questions: Electromagnet 3.1

SPM Questions on electromagnet: 2004 -05


1 The diagram shows an arrangement of apparatus to study the pattern of magnetic fields which are formed when current flows through conductors:


Answer: B

To answer this one, 1st determine the direction of current entering the cardboard for both conductors.

For each case, apply right hand thumb rules to determine the direction of magnetic field.Look at diagram below:



2. The diagram shows an electromagnet.

Which factor does not influence the strength of the electromagnet ?

A Material used for the wire

B Material used for insulator of the wire

C Number of turns of wire

D Current flowing in the wire..


Answer:B, coz insulator wont affect the magnetic field strength

This question asked for a wrong answer..so beware, always underline important phrase like, does not.

The other answers will influence the strength of electromagnet;

- A: different wire materials used would give dfferent resistance which then affect amount of current flows.

strength of magnetic field depends on current flows.

- C: No. of turns wire...bigger number of turn produce stronger magnetic field

- D:amount of current...higher current give stronger magnetic field
