Every object in the universe experiences some sort of force. It could be gravity holding Earth in orbit around the sun, or it could be someone sliding a chair across the floor. What best describes a force?
A push or pull
a binding energy
an attraction
a type of mass
Fill in the blanks: A sheet of metal and a sheet of paper are left next to each other in the sunshine. After several minutes, the metal will be warmer to the touch than the paper. The metal is a/an ___________ and the paper is a/an ___________.
The metal is a receiver and the paper is a transformer.
The metal is conductor and the paper is an insulator.
The metal is an insulator and the paper is a conductor.
The metal is a kelvin and the paper is a kilowatt.
Energy can be stored, transferred, or converted, but it cannot be created or destroyed. Which law describes the rule that energy follows? (You learned this in 6th grade!)
A. interference of energy
B. transference of energy
C. conservation of energy
The area around a charge in which the electric force is experienced by other charged objects is called:
Electric charge
Electric field
Electric force
Electric current
Charges are able to flow through a circuit due to differences in
Resistance
Potential energy

Insulation
Electricity is the flow of what?
protons
neutrons

What does the distance between magnetic field lines indicate?
The closer the lines are, the weaker the force
The father apart the lines are, the stronger the force
The close the lines are, the stronger the force
The distance between the field lines does not matter

How is a magnet able to pick bits of metal up without touching them?
The magnet is surrounded by a magnetic field that attracts the metal bits
The metal bits exert a repulsive force on the magnet
There is an invisible magnetic field around the magnet where it exerts a magnetic force

Remember when we did our magnet lab? We magnetized a paperclip by placing in on a magnet. The paperclip then became a temporary magnet. This is because something happened to the overall charge of the paperclip! What is this called?
Magnetic exchange
Magnetic domain shift
Magnetic attraction
Magnetic repulsion
What happens to the magnetic domains when a paperclip is placed on a magnet?
The temporarily align to a north and south direction, causing the paperclip to become magnetized.
Nothing happens.
The paperclip becomes electric

positive
neutral
What charge is associated with the south pole of a magnet?
negative
positive
neutral
