X PWS Electromagnetism 1

This practice worksheet contains questions about electromagnetism and electromagnetic induction. It tests understanding of concepts like how electromagnets work, Fleming's left hand rule, alternating current, and Faraday's laws of induction. Sample questions include identifying the direction of force on a current-carrying wire in a magnetic field, differentiating graphs of alternating and direct current, and factors that increase the strength of electromagnetic induction.
