UNIT 10 : ELECTROMAGNETISM

Electromagnetism is a core chapter in MDCAT Physics, sitting within the 20% Physics allocation of your 36-question paper.

What this chapter covers:

• Magnetic flux density and its units
• Magnetic flux as the scalar product of magnetic field and area (ØB = B┴A = B.A)
• The path followed by a charged particle shot into a magnetic field perpendicular to the field
• The force acting on a charged particle in a uniform magnetic field
• Magnetic flux density and its units
• Magnetic flux as the scalar product of magnetic field and area (ØB = B┴A = B.A)
• The path followed by a charged particle shot into a magnetic field perpendicular to the field
• The force acting on a charged particle in a uniform magnetic field

This chapter blends conceptual understanding with numerical problem-solving, requiring comfort with vector relationships (force, field, and velocity directions) alongside direct formula-based calculations. Given this mix, it spans the moderate range of difficulty, with some straightforward definitional questions and others demanding careful application of direction rules and force equations.

Why this practice set helps:

• Covers every subtopic the PMDC curriculum identifies, plus the supporting concepts textbooks present alongside them
• Every question includes a full explanation of why the correct answer is right and why each other option is wrong
• Built to help you learn faster than passive reading, with nothing the exam may draw from left untouched

Work through this set attentively, and you build both the directional intuition and calculation accuracy this chapter demands.
