- 2. Multiple Choice
What does this illustration represent?magnetic material that is not magnetizedmagnetic material that is magnetizednon-magnetic materialarrangements of atoms in a domain - 3. Multiple ChoiceIn this illustration, the magnetic field is strongest ___.near either polenear the north polenear the south polehalfway between the poles
- 4. Multiple ChoiceWhat effect does increasing the current flowing in the wire have on an electromagnet?It decreases the strength of the magnetic field.It increases the strength of the magnetic field.It has no effect on the electromagnet.It causes it to become a permanent magnet.
- 5. Multiple ChoiceYou observe that magnets A and B are attracted to each other and "stick." Which sentence BEST explains this observation?Both are positively charged.Both are tightly bonded to each other.Both are composed of smaller, individual magnets.Both have all their magnetic domains aligned in the same direction.
- 6. Multiple ChoiceAs electrons flow through the metal wire in the center of this motor, the metal begins to turn. This is becauseelectric charges act as tiny magnets.a flow of electrons experiences a force in a magnetic field.positive electric charges are attracted to the south pole of a magnet.positive electric charges are attracted to the north pole of a magnet.
