Horatio drew a diagram to illustrate how magnetism is produced by electric currents.

Question illustration
A
Magnetism is not produced by electric currents unless the wire is coiled.
B
The magnetic field does not continually spread outward from the wire.
C
The magnetic field is produced inside the wire, not outside of it.
D
Magnetism is only produced when a metal bar is placed near the wire.

9

What must be true in order for magnetism to induce an electric current in a wire?

A
There needs to be a switch in the circuit.
B
There cannot be a switch in the circuit.
C
The wire must be part of a closed circuit.
D
The wire must be part of an open circuit.
11

Based on illustrations of magnetic field lines, where could an object be placed so it would not experience a magnetic force?

A
halfway between the like poles of two magnets, because the field lines bend away and do not enter this area
B
halfway between the opposite poles of two magnets, because the field lines are the closest together
C
above the middle of a bar magnet, because the magnetic field lines are only found around the sides of the magnet
D
above a pole of a bar magnet, because the magnetic field lines either go in or go out at the end

The north pole of a bar magnet is moved close to the north pole of a second bar magnet. What prediction best describes how the first magnet responds when it is released?

A
It will move toward the second magnet because like poles repel.
B
It will move toward the second magnet because like poles attract.
C
It will move away from the second magnet because like poles repel.
D
It will move away from the second magnet because like poles attract.
18

how much current can flow
C
how much a material resists electrical flow
D
how fast a material conducts electrical flow
19

A component of a circuit changes, as shown below.

Question illustration
A
A switch is closed, so the circuit would be incomplete and broken and the lights in the circuit would not shine.
B
A switch is closed, so the circuit would be complete and unbroken and the lights in the circuit would shine.
C
A switch is opened, so the circuit would be incomplete and broken and the lights in the circuit would not shine.
D
A switch is opened, so the circuit would be complete and unbroken and the lights in the circuit would shine.
