2.1Magnetomotive force is the strength of a mag netic field in a coil of wire. (2\
2.3Lenz's law states that the direction of an induced emf is always such that it tend s to set up a current opposite the motion of flux responsible for inducing that emf. (2\
2.4The principle of electromagnetic induction states that when a conductor cuts magnetic flux, an emf is induced in the conductor. (2\

2.6When the switch is pressed, current passes through the coil and energises the electromagnet, resulting in the iron armature being attracted to the electromagnet. Attached to the armature is a striker which hits
2.7Place a woodscrew next to the conductor carrying the current. The direction in which the screw is turned is the same as the direction of flux, while the direction the screw travels through the wood represents the direction of the

About Electrical Principles And Practice examination preparation

This TVET examination resource can be used as part of a structured revision programme. Past papers are most useful when learners attempt questions independently, work within a realistic time limit, and review their answers afterwards.

How to use this resource for revision

A TVET past examination paper is most useful when it is treated as an active revision exercise. Try the questions yourself before checking the corresponding memorandum. Where you make an error, identify the reason — was it a knowledge gap, a calculation mistake, an interpretation issue, or an examination technique problem?

For stronger examination practice, complete the paper without unnecessary interruptions and keep track of the questions that take the most time. Afterwards, review the memorandum and separate knowledge gaps from mistakes caused by interpretation, calculation, structure, or examination technique.

A practical revision approach

Start by completing the resource without looking at the memorandum. Review incorrect and incomplete answers afterwards and make a short revision list based on the areas that caused difficulty.
