A temporary magnet made from an iron nail, wire, and

A motor

An electromagnet

An electric motor

A generator

Where is the magnetic field the strongest?

At both poles

At North Pole only

At South Pole only

In the middle

Students make an electromagnet by wrapping a copper wire around an iron core and attach both ends of the wire to a battery. They decide to change the length of wire, amount of coils, and amount of batteries. Using the data below, what conclusions can you make about this experiment?

The electrical field is proportional to the length of the wire

A greater amount of coils will result in a stronger magnetic held.

Increasing voltage will result in a stronger magnetic force.

The magnetic field increases as the length of the wire increases.

Which of the following is a true statement about the magnetic field between two magnets?

The south pole of one magnet is attracted to the south pole of the other magnet.

The south pole of one magnet is attracted to the north pole of the other magnet.

The north pole of one magnet is attracted to the north pole of the other magnet.

The south pole of one magnet is attracted to both poles of the other magnet.

Which change will most likely increase the strength of a magnetic field produced by an electromagnet?

Reduce the number of turns of the coil the nail in a homemade electromagnet using a nail)

Add a battery

Remove the iron nail

Switch the direction in which the battery is connected

Both light bulbs are lit in the circuit above. In order to turn off both lights, a switch must be installed in the circuit at the place marked -
