Read each question carefully and answer to the best of your ability. Show all your work for calculation questions.
1. Which of the following best describes the relationship between electricity and magnetism?
They are unrelated phenomena.
Electricity produces magnetism, but magnetism cannot produce electricity.
Magnetism produces electricity, but electricity cannot produce magnetism.
They are two aspects of a single electromagnetic force.
2. The strength of an electromagnet can be increased by:
Decreasing the number of turns in the coil.
Using a non-magnetic core.
Increasing the current flowing through the coil.
Increasing the resistance of the wire.
3. A moving electric charge creates a field around it.
4. The direction of the magnetic field around a current-carrying wire can be determined using the hand rule.
5. A solenoid is a coil of wire that acts as a when an electric current passes through it.
6. Describe the phenomenon of electromagnetic induction.
7. How is an electromagnet different from a permanent magnet?
8. Observe the diagram of an electromagnet below. If the current flows in the direction indicated, label the North and South poles of the electromagnet.
9. A stationary electric charge can produce a magnetic field.
True
False
10. The Earth's magnetic field is generated by permanent magnets within its core.
True
False
