A current in a wire increases from 2 A to 6 A. How will the magnetic field 0.01 m from the wire change?

A
It increases to four times its original value.
B
It increases to three times its original value.
C
It decreases to one-fourth its original value.
D
It decreases to one-third its original value.

Four compasses are placed around a wire, as shown.The wire is then connected to a battery so that a current flows down the wire.How will the compasses point once the current is flowing?

Question illustration
A
A long wire that is vertical and standing on a steel plate. There are 4 compasses surrounding it and all of the needles are pointing in the same direction, west.
Option A
B
A long wire that is vertical and standing on a steel plate. There are 4 compasses surrounding it and all of the needles are pointing in the same direction, east.
Option B
C
A long wire that is vertical and standing on a steel plate. There are 4 compasses surrounding it and all of the needles are pointing clockwise.
Option C
D
A long wire that is vertical and standing on a steel plate. There are 4 compasses surrounding it and all of the needles are pointing counterclockwise.
Option D
6

When the north pole of a bar magnet is moved into a solenoid, the needle on a galvanometer attached to the solenoid moves to the left, indicating that a current is produced. The magnet is then pulled out at a faster speed.What will be the result?

A
a larger current in the same direction
B
a larger current in the opposite direction
C
a smaller current in the same direction
D
a smaller current in the opposite direction
7

Four compasses are placed around a wire, as shown.

Question illustration
A
A current flows up the wire.
B
A current flows down the wire.
C
A current flows, but its direction cannot be known.
D
A current does not flow in the wire.

The diagram shows two bar magnets. They are cut along the dashed line, and then the two marked ends are placed near each other.

Question illustration
A
The pieces will repel because the cut end of the top magnet is not a magnetic pole.
B
The pieces will attract because the cut end of the top magnet is not a magnetic pole.
C
The pieces will repel because the cut end of the top magnet is a south pole.
D
The pieces will attract because the cut end of the top magnet is a north pole.
