Understanding magnetism and electromagnetism is an exciting and essential part of GCSE Physics. This topic explains how magnetic fields interact with electric currents and how these principles are used in motors, generators, and everyday technology.
On this page, you’ll find all my free GCSE Magnetism and Electromagnetism video lessons, practice questions, and answers, carefully designed to help you learn step-by-step and build confidence.
The lessons cover magnetic fields, electromagnets, the motor effect, the generator effect, and induced potential difference — all fully aligned with the AQA, OCR, and Edexcel GCSE and IGCSE Physics specifications.
You can also explore related topics such as Electricity and Energy to see how electrical and magnetic effects are connected.
Watch my free GCSE Physics Magnetism and Electromagnetism video lessons below. Each video includes clear explanations, demonstrations, and exam-style examples to show you how magnetic and electric fields work in practice.
Topics include:
Permanent and induced magnets
Magnetic fields and field lines
The motor effect and Fleming’s left-hand rule
Electromagnets and their uses
The generator effect and electromagnetic induction
Test your understanding with my GCSE Magnetism and Electromagnetism practice questions, designed for AQA, OCR, and Edexcel GCSE Physics students.
These questions cover both conceptual understanding and mathematical skills, such as calculating force on a conductor, magnetic flux, and induced potential difference. They’re perfect for homework, revision, or classroom use.
Check your work with the fully worked answers to the magnetism and electromagnetism questions. Each solution explains the reasoning and formulas used — such as F = BIL and V = N × (ΔΦ / Δt) — so you can understand how to apply them in different exam questions.
Use these worked examples to strengthen your problem-solving skills and gain confidence with one of the more challenging GCSE Physics topics.
Videos and questions on Magnetism and Electromagnetism are coming soon.
