REVISION NOTES
IGCSE Edexcel Physics
6.1 Magnetism
6.1.1 Use the following units: ampere (A), volt (V) and watt (W)
Current – amperes(A)
Voltage – volts(V)
Power – watts(W)
6.1.2 Know that magnets repel and attract other magnets and attract magnetic substances
6.1.3 Describe the properties of magnetically hard and soft materials
6.1.4 Understand the term ‘magnetic field line’
6.1.5 Know that magnetism is induced in some materials when they are placed in a magnetic field
6.1.6 Practical: investigate the magnetic field pattern for a permanent bar magnet and between two bar magnets
6.1.7 Describe how to use two permanent magnets to produce a uniform magnetic field pattern
