5.

The earth is like a magnet because:

a)

It has a magnetic field due to its core

b)

it has a magnetic field do to its crust

c)

There is a magnetic pole in the earth's core

d)

Gravity generates a magnetic field

6.

Are the magnetic field lines in the picture correct?

a)

Yes, because they point from north to south.

b)

No, because they point from north to south (they're supposed to go the other way).

c)

Yes, because the North pole is on the left in all pictures.

d)

No, because the North pole is on the left in all pictures (it's supposed to be on the right).

7.

How can the strength of an electromagnet be increased? (mark all that apply)

a)

increase the current flowing through the coil

b)

increase the number of coils

c)

add an amplifier to it

d)

put iron core inside the coil

8.

What does the thumb indicate in flemings left hand rule?

a)

Force

b)

Motion

c)

Current

d)

Magnetic field direction

9.

How does a split ring commutator work?

a)

Swaps the contact evert full turn, so that the left-hand and right-hand arms of the coil always experience a force in the same direction.

b)

Swaps the contact evert half turn, so that the left-hand and right-hand arms of the coil do not experience a force in the same direction.

c)

Swaps the contact evert half turn, so that the left-hand and right-hand arms of the coil always experience a force in the same direction.
