The north pole of a strong magnet is dragged down an iron nail from the top to the point 50 times.

A
The nail will not pick up any paper clips because its domains are not aligned.
B
The nail will not pick up any paper clips because its domains have been aligned.
C
The nail will pick up some paper clips because its domains are not aligned.
D
The nail will pick up some paper clips because its domains have been aligned.

Which is an important step in how an electric motor uses magnetic force to produce motion?

A
As the north pole of the electromagnet nears the north pole of the permanent magnet, the current reverses and the poles of the magnets then attract.
B
As the north pole of the electromagnet nears the south pole of the permanent magnet, the current reverses and the poles of the magnets then repel.
C
As the north pole of the electromagnet nears the north pole of the permanent magnet, the current reverses and the poles of the magnets then repel.
D
As the north pole of the electromagnet nears the south pole of the permanent magnet, the current reverses and the poles of the magnets then attract.

Which device converts electrical energy into kinetic energy?

A
an electric generator
B
an electric motor
C
a step-down transformer
D
a step-up transformer
12

Which best describes what happens in an electric generator?

A
Motion causes constantly changing magnetic fields to induce electrical energy.
B
Motion causes constantly changing magnetic fields to induce kinetic energy.
C
Constantly changing magnetic fields lead to motion, which induces electrical energy.
D
Constantly changing magnetic fields lead to motion, which induces kinetic energy.

Two bar magnets are labeled A and B. The ends of each magnet are numbered 1 or 2, but the poles are not labeled. When A1 is brought near B1, the bars repel.

A
A1 is the north pole of a magnet, and B1 is the south pole of a magnet.
B
A1 is the north pole of a magnet, and B1 is the north pole of a magnet.
C
A1 and B1 are opposite poles, but there is not enough information to tell which ones.
D
A1 and B1 are like poles, but there is not enough information to tell whether they are north poles or south poles.

Which change would reverse the direction of the electric current generated through electromagnetic induction?

A
moving the magnet slower
B
using more loops of wire in the solenoid
C
using the opposite pole of the magnet
D
using a weaker magnet
