Read each question carefully and answer to the best of your ability. Show all your work for numerical problems.
1. Which of the following statements best describes the relationship between electricity and magnetism?
They are unrelated phenomena.
Electricity causes magnetism, but magnetism does not cause electricity.
Magnetism causes electricity, but electricity does not cause magnetism.
They are two aspects of the same fundamental force, electromagnetism.
2. What is the direction of the magnetic field lines around a straight current-carrying wire?
Parallel to the wire.
Perpendicular to the wire, pointing outwards.
Concentric circles around the wire.
Random and unpredictable.
3. The force experienced by a current-carrying conductor in a magnetic field is given by the formula F = I L B sinθ, where F is the force, I is the current, L is the length of the conductor, B is the magnetic field strength, and θ is the angle between the current and the .
4. A changing through a coil of wire induces an electromotive force (EMF) in the coil, according to Faraday's Law of Induction.
