moving the wire near a magnet.

b)

moving a magnet near the wire.

c)

changing the current in a nearby wire.

d)

all of these

5.
What would happen if I move a bar magnet in and out of a coil of copper wire?
a)
Electric current would disappear 
b)
The magnet would explode 
c)
Electric current will flow through the wire
d)
It would produce a gravitational field
6.

Decrease the number of coils
b)
Increase the number of coils
c)
Move the magnet slower
d)
Take the wire off of the magnet
7.

A __________ is an electrical device that converts AC electricity from one voltage level to another

a)

transformer

b)

primary coil

c)

secondary coil

d)

center tap

8.
Will a transformer work with direct current (d.c.) or alternating current (a.c.)?
a)
a.c. only
b)
d.c. only
c)
Both a.c. and d.c.
9.
If you wrap more coils around an electromagnet, it will become...
a)
brighter
b)
stronger
c)
weaker
d)
invisible
10.

If a magnet is pushed into a coil, voltage is induced across the coil. If the same magnet is pushed into a coil with twice the number of loops,

a)

one-half as much voltage is induced.

b)

the same voltage is induced.

c)

twice as much voltage is induced.

d)

four times as much voltage is induced.

11.
What will happen when these magnets are brought close together?
a)
They will attract each other.
b)
They will repel each other.
c)
Both magnets will turn to the left
d)
Both magnets will turn to the right
12.

Can you produce current in a wire with a magnet that is sitting still?

a)

Yes; having a magnet near a wire is enough to excite the electrons

b)

No; the magnetic field has to be changing to excite the electrons

c)

No; magnets cannot create electricity

13.

Which pairs of materials could be used to create electromagnetic induction?

a)

Coiled wire, a magnet

b)

Coiled wire, a battery

c)

A magnet, a battery

d)

None of the above

14.

Why is magnetic induction important?

a)

Electromagnets are very versatile

b)

Every electric motor uses induction

c)

Because it's an easy way to produce electricity

d)

All of the above

15.

What can electromagnets do that regular magnets can't?

a)

Switch their magnetic fields

b)

Explode

c)

Be turned off

d)

They are both the same in every way
