A rectangular coil PQRSPQRSPQRS is placed between the poles of a magnet as part of a simple electric motor.
(i) Determine the direction (upwards or downwards) of the magnetic force acting on side PQPQPQ and side RSRSRS.
(ii) State three ways in which the turning effect of this electric motor can be increased.
In a portable device charger, a step-down transformer reduces the mains voltage of 240 V240\text{ V}240 V to a secondary voltage of 12 V12\text{ V}12 V. The transformer has 200020002000 turns on its primary coil.
Calculate the number of turns on the secondary coil.
