Question 1 · 1 mark · Difficulty 1/3

What are magnetic field lines?

  1. Visible lines around a magnet
  2. Imaginary lines showing the direction and strength of a magnetic field — from north to south pole
  3. Electric current paths
  4. Lines of gravity
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: BImaginary lines showing the direction and strength of a magnetic field — from north to south pole
Field lines go from north to south outside the magnet. Closer lines = stronger field. They never cross.
Question 2 · 1 mark · Difficulty 1/3

What is an electromagnet?

  1. A permanent magnet
  2. A temporary magnet created by passing electric current through a coil of wire (solenoid)
  3. A natural magnet
  4. A compass
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: BA temporary magnet created by passing electric current through a coil of wire (solenoid)
Electromagnets can be switched on/off. Strength increased by: more current, more coil turns, soft iron core. Used in scrapyard cranes, doorbells, circuit breakers.

Edexcel GCSE Physics: Magnetism and the Motor Effect FAQ

How many Edexcel GCSE Physics questions on Magnetism and the Motor Effect are there on Kramizo?
Kramizo currently has 8 exam-board-aligned practice questions on Magnetism and the Motor Effect for Edexcel GCSE Physics, with new questions added every week. Each question gives you instant feedback and a full examiner-style mark scheme that tells you exactly what would earn marks on a real Edexcel paper. The questions span the full difficulty range — from straightforward recall (level 1) right up to multi-step reasoning and evaluation (level 3) — so the bank works for first-pass revision and final exam-week stress testing alike.
Is Kramizo free for Edexcel GCSE students preparing for Physics?
Yes — completely free. Every student gets 45 questions a day on the free plan, with no card required and no trial countdown. That free quota works across every subject and every topic in our bank, so you can mix Magnetism and the Motor Effect practice with other Physics topics or even switch to a totally different Edexcel subject without paying anything. Kramizo's optional Pro plan removes the daily cap and adds detailed progress analytics, but the free tier is the real product — used by thousands of GCSE, IGCSE and CSEC students.
Are the Magnetism and the Motor Effect questions aligned to the official Edexcel GCSE Physics syllabus?
Every question is written against the published Edexcel GCSE Physics specification, including the exact command words (state, describe, explain, calculate, evaluate, etc.), mark allocations, and difficulty tier you'd see on a real Edexcel paper. Explanations are written in the style of official examiner mark schemes — they tell you what is being awarded marks and why distractors are wrong, not just whether you got it right. The bank is continually refined to match the latest syllabus updates from Edexcel.
How is Magnetism and the Motor Effect typically tested on Edexcel GCSE Physics papers?
Magnetism and the Motor Effect appears across multiple question types on real Edexcel GCSE Physics papers — most commonly as multiple-choice questions in the objective section, structured short-answer questions in the main paper, and occasionally as part of an extended response. Kramizo's practice bank reflects that mix: 4-option MCQs, true/false statements, fill-in-the-blank key terms, multi-select questions, and ordering questions. Working through the bank gives you exposure to every question style examiners actually use.
