b)
b. moving a magnet near the wire.
c)
c. changing the current in a nearby wire.
d)
d. all of these
2.
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)

a)

The magnetic pole is reversed

b)

The number of turns of coils is increased

c)

The coil is made from insulated wire

d)

The magnet is slowly pushed into the coil

4.
The voltmeter is at 0 in this image. How would you manipulate the experiment to create electricity (measured in volts)?
a)
Flip the magnet around so the North pole is facing out
b)
Move the magnet back and forth
c)
Take the magnet out
d)
Add more coils around the paper cylinder
5.
How could the experimenter increase the amount of electricity being induced by this experiment?
a)
Increase the number of coils
b)
Decrease the number of coils
c)
Flip the magnet around
d)
Nothing, the amount of electricity cannot be increased
6.

What type of process is shown?

a)

Electromagnet

b)

Electric motor

c)

Electric generator

d)

Electromagnetic induction

7.

In electromagnetic induction, what is being created?

a)

Magnetism

b)

Electrical energy

c)

Mechanical energy

d)

Chemical energy

8.

___________________rule can be used to determine the direction of the ___________ induced current produced.

a)

Fleming's Left Hand Rule

b)

Fleming's Right Hand Rule

c)

Right Hand Grip Rule

9.

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
