A
1. What happens to magnetism of the iron filings after several shakes?
a. The iron filings lose their induced magnetism after an adequate number of
shakes.
b. The iron filings increased their induced magnetism after an adequate number of
shakes.
c. There is no induced magnetism after shaking.
d. All mentioned- above were observed.
2. What did you observe when you magnetized the iron nail by stroking?
a. The iron nail was not magnetized
b. The iron nail was not magnetized due to unequal induced polarity of the nail end
and polarity of the magnet’s end.
c. The iron nail was magnetized due to the stroking of iron filings inside the test
tube.
d. The iron nail was magnetized without even being touched by a magnet.
How does a motor works?
A motor works because of the
magnetic field generated by magnets
on it plus the current passed through
the wires, thus allowing it to rotate.
Why do we consider the Earth as a huge
magnet?
The Earth is considered as a huge
magnet for it has the north and south
poles and thus it creates a magnetic
field.
What are the basic components of the
jump wire electric generator?
The jump wire electric generator
consists of a closed loop of conductor
moving within a magnetic field. Any
relative motion between the charges in
the conductor and the magnetic field
by the Earth gives rise to an
electromotive force that when big
enough will cause free electrons in the
conductor to move through the loop.
How will you explain the operation of a
simple electric generator?
A simple electric generator is made
when a coil or any closed loop of
conductor moves through or cuts
across magnetic field lines. The coil
will experience an induced voltage or
electromotive force and cause current
to be generated.
1. Electromagnetic induction is the production of current in
a conductor by changing the magnetic field around the
conductor.
2. The magnetic field around a conductor changes when
a) there is relative motion between the magnet and the
conductor
b) current in a nearby coil changes.
3. The amount of induced current may be increased by
a. moving the wire or the magnet faster;
b. increasing the strength of the magnetic field;
c. increasing the number of turns (hence the length of
the wire)
