Read each question carefully and answer to the best of your ability. Show all your work for calculation problems.
1. What is an electromagnet, and how does it differ from a permanent magnet?
2. An electromagnet is typically made by wrapping a coil of wire around a soft core.
3. The strength of an electromagnet can be increased by increasing the number of turns in the coil, increasing the current flowing through the wire, or by using a stronger core.
4. Which of the following factors does NOT affect the strength of an electromagnet?
The material of the core
The direction of the current
The number of turns in the coil
The amount of current
5. Explain the Right-Hand Rule and how it is used to determine the direction of the magnetic field around a current-carrying wire.
6. Observe the electromagnet diagram below. Indicate the direction of the magnetic field lines and label the North and South poles.
7. Electromagnets are used in devices such as electric motors and generators.
True
False
