| 4.5.1 | Electromagnetic induction Push a magnet into a coil and a meter flicks, even though no battery is anywhere in sight. | Connect-Extend-Challenge | 6 Q, 15 marks | 2 MCQ | tab 1 |
| 4.5.2 | The A.C. generator Turn a coil between the poles of a magnet and induction does the rest, pumping out a voltage that rises, falls, reverses and rises again. | Anticipation / Reaction Guide | 6 Q, 14 marks | 2 MCQ | tab 2 |
| 4.5.3 | The magnetic effect of a current Send a current down a wire and a compass nearby swings: the current has wrapped itself in a magnetic field. | Cooperative Concept Mapping | 6 Q, 14 marks | 1 MCQ | tab 2 |
| 4.5.4 | The motor effect Lay a current-carrying wire between two magnets and it jumps. | Think-Pair-Share | 6 Q, 13 marks | 2 MCQ | tab 3 |

| 4.5.6 | Transformer equations and transmission The ratio of turns on the two coils fixes the ratio of the voltages exactly. | Numbered Heads Together | 6 Q, 16 marks | 7 MCQ | tab 6 |
