Which statement best explains what was likely done to the nail?

A
It was rubbed with a magnet, which caused the domains to line up and the nail to become magnetic.
B
It was made to conduct electricity, which caused the domains to randomize and the nail to become nonmagnetic.
C
It was heated, which caused the domains to line up and the nail to become magnetic.
D
It was struck repeatedly, which caused the domains to randomize and the nail to become nonmagnetic.

Trent builds a model electric motor. When he connects a battery to the motor, the motor spins through a half rotation and stops. Which is the most likely solution to the problem?

A
checking the commutator, because the current is not reversing
B
adding more wire coils in the armature, because the electromagnet is too weak
C
installing new brushes, because they are not making a good connection
D
replacing the battery, because it is not providing current
