Relate (without calculation) the resistance of a wire to its length and to its
diameter
Supplement
Recall and use quantitatively the proportionality between resistance and length,
and the inverse proportionality between resistance and cross-sectional area of a
wire
R = Resistance
= Resistivity of material
L = Length of conductor
A = Area

State that logic gates are circuits containing transistors and other components
LOGIC GATES: Circuits containing transistors and other components
Describe the action of NOT, AND, OR, NAND and NOR gates
State and use the symbols for logic gates (candidates should use the American
ANSI#Y 32.14 symbols)

As the magnet is moved in and out of the coil the magnetic field in the
coil changes
The direction of the induced EMF and so current opposes the change
causing it (i.e. makes a magnetic field opposite to the field of the
moving magnet
Supplement
State the factors affecting the magnitude of an induced e.m.f.
FACTORS EFFECTING MAGNITUDE OF INDUCED E.M.F.
Increasing strength of magnet = increased induced E.M.F.
Increasing velocity of motion of magnet = increased induced E.M.F.
Increasing # of coils in solenoid = increased induced E.M.F.
