Choose all of the generators
Choose all of the motors.
Choose all of the transformers.
How does a motor work?
Current generates an electric field around the loop of wire. The electric force causes the loop of wire to rotate.
Current generates a magnetic field in the loop of wire that is then attracted and repelled by the magnet(s) in the motor.
The magnets in the motor attract and repel the metal in the copper wire that makes up the loop. This causes the loop to rotate.
Motors are devices that convert _____ energy into _____ energy.
chemical; mechanical
mechanical; electrical
electrical; mechanical
potential; kinetic
A transformer actually transforms
voltage
magnetic field lines
generators into motors
How can you increase the magnetic field strength in an electromagnet?
Increase the number of coils.
increase the voltage
increase the current by reducing the resistance of the coil
all of the above
How can you decrease the magnetic field strength in an electromagnet?
Increase the number of coils.
increase the voltage
decrease the current by increasing the resistance of the coil
all of the above
What did Faraday discover about Induction?
That a changing magnetic field induces a current in a conductor.
That electricity and magnetism were related when he noticed a current carrying conductor deflected the compass of a needle.
That the Earth's magnetosphere deflected charged particles from the sun known as solar winds.
That alternating current could be manipulated with transformers.

What do we know about Earth's Magnetic Field?
It is likely caused my the molten iron core of the Earth.
It protects us from solar winds.
It causes the auroras.
It does not deflect particles that move parallel to the field lines.
