(i) To create a north and south √ pole at the ends of the solenoid.

Or Opposite poles at ends√

(ii). -The sound from the microphone creates a varying current leading to a varying field in the solenoid√ due to the electromagnet√

-The varying, field cataracts the diaphram√ (magnetic alloy) at different degrees leading to vibration√

This vibration reproduces the speech in the receiver.√

(iii). -Replacing the iron with steel pole pieces leads to a permanent magnet being formed.

-There will therefore be no varying magnetic field hence causing the magnetic alloy to be attracted permanently√

- No vibration of the alloy means no sound reproduction.√

(a). –Imaginary lines drawn to join particles on wave which are in phase (moving in one step)√

(b).i) Refraction√

ii). Waves are refracted away from the normal towards the earth.√

(c).i) -Alternate √maximum and minimum sound.√

ii) -Maximum sound due to constructive interference.√

-Minimum sound due to destructive interference.√

(iii). -Loud sound although.√
