lol i messed up the diagram question i didn't trace the lines back and i messed up the magnification so that's 4 marks i have lost already and im not even going to start talking about the rest :frown:

the magnet and coil question was not too hard you had to write that the coil cuts through the magnetic field to induce an current in the coil
