Which statement is true?

The light bulb will not light up because the circuit is broken.

The light bulb will light up because the circuit is complete.

The light bulb will light up because the circuit is broken.

The light bulb will not light up because the circuit is complete.

In a parallel circuit if one of the light bulbs burns out the rest _________.

of the light bulbs burn out also

Will the light bulb light up if the switch remains open as shown?

No, because the electric circuit is not complete.

Yes, because the circuit will be complete.

Yes, because the battery will push the electric current.

No, because the battery will push the electric current.

Sarah planned an investigation to test the strength of electromagnets. In one electromagnet she used two batteries and a small core. In the other electromagnet she used one battery and a thicker core. Was this a fair test?

No, because she changed more than one variable.

No, because the number of batteries does not matter.

Yes, because the number of batteries does not matter.

Yes, because she tested the correct number of variables.

How are electromagnets different from magnets?

you can turn an electromagnet on/off

magnets have a North and South pole

Sally is creating a model to show what happens when electricity is used. She decided to show the motor spinning below as her model. How could she best explain what is happening?

Electric energy is transformed into energy of motion.

Heat energy is transformed into energy of motion.

Heat energy is transformed into electric energy.

Electric energy is transformed into light energy.

Increasing the electric current in the wire is one way to

A. strengthen a solenoid’s magnetic field.

B. make an electromagnet become a solenoid.

C. make a solenoid become an electromagnet.

D. weaken a solenoid’s magnetic field.

Increasing the number of loops in the coils of a solenoid is one way to

B. strengthen the solenoid’s magnetic field.

A. increase the wire’s electric current

C. decrease the wire’s electric current.

D. weaken the solenoid’s magnetic field.

A student created the model of an electromagnet shown below. How could she best explain why the paper clip stuck to the nail?

The electric current in the circuit magnetized the nail.

The electric current in the circuit melted the nail.

The nail heated up causing it to become a magnet.
