Students rubbed a balloon across a pillow to give it an electric charge. They found that the charged balloon could pick up pieces of paper. What data could the students collect to tell them if the electric charge on the balloon is getting stronger?

• The length and width of the balloon

• The number of pieces of paper picked up

• The size of the pillow

• The distance the balloon was rubbed,

This scrapyard electromagnet is able to lift heavy pieces of metal and move them from place to place. How is the metal able to release from the electromagnet and fall into the new location?

• A switch can shut off the current of electricity causing the magnetic field to stop, releasing the metal pieces.

• Static electricity is released causing the metal to fall downward.

• A stronger magnet below the metal attracts the pieces, removing them from the magnetic force above.

• The crane shakes the large metal pieces off as they fall in the proper place.
