What happens when two north poles of a magnet are placed together?

the strength of the magnet is doubled

What option best describes this field?

An electric field generated by two opposite charges. They would attract each other.

An electric field generated by two positive charges. They would attract each other.

An electric field generated by two negative charge which would attract each other.

There is no force field present.

To increase the strength of an electromagnet you should

Increase the voltage of the battery

How are electromagnets different from magnets?

you can turn an electromagnet on/off

magnets have a North and South pole

This is a picture of a simple electromagnet. How can the electromagnet be made stronger?

Add more coils of wire to the nail.

Reverse the poles of the magnet.

Remove all the coils and the nail.

3) Gravity on the moon is about 1/6th the gravity felt on the earth. This is because

the moon is much less massive than the earth.

the moon is so far away from the earth.

the earth has a molten core and the moon doesn't.

the moon is so much further from the sun than the earth.

Jacob floated a long steel sewing needle on a small piece of cork in a glass of water. He noticed that as he turned the glass around, the cork and needle continued to point toward his backyard. Even after he turned the small floating cork around gently, the needle finally pointed toward the backyard. What is the MOST LIKELY conclusion Jacob will draw?

Jacob’s backyard is on the north side of his house.

There is a large magnet in the backyard.

The backyard is downhill from where Jacob is standing.

A gentle breeze is causing the needle to point toward the backyard.

the distance between the charged particles is increased.

the magnitude of the charge on both the particles is decreased.

the magnitude of the charge on one of the particles is decreased.

When a student combed his dry hair for a long time, his hair began to stand up. Which of these has MOST LIKELY happened?

The comb and hair have become charged with opposite charges.

The comb and hair have become charged with similar charges.
