1.

What is a device that changes electrical current in a magnetic field into kinetic energy (movement)?

a)

Magnetic Pole

b)

Electric Generator

c)

Electromagnet

d)

Electric Motor

e)

Magnetic Domain

2.

This is when the magnetic domains within a piece of metal (like a nail) are oriented by an electrical current, making a very strong temporary magnet.

a)

Magnetic Pole

b)

Electric Generator

c)

Electromagnet

d)

Electric Motor

e)

Magnetic Domain

3.

These are the areas of a permanent magnet where the magnetic field is the strongest, usually one at each end of the magnet.

a)

Magnetic Pole

b)

Electric Generator

c)

Electromagnet

d)

Electric Motor

e)

Magnetic Domain

4.

When there is a permanent magnet, these are the atoms with partial magnetism that are all arranged along the same direction.

a)

Magnetic Pole

b)

Electric Generator

c)

Electromagnet

d)

Electric Motor

e)

Magnetic Domain

5.

This is a device that changes mechanical energy (usually in the form of a rotating turbine) into electrical energy.

a)

Magnetic Pole

b)

Electric Generator

c)

Electromagnet

d)

Electric Motor

e)

Magnetic Domain

6.

When an electron moves from an excited state back to its normal energy level, it creates a disturbance in the magnetic field around it and makes what?

a)

Permanent Magnet

b)

Electromagnetc Wave

c)

Electromagnet

d)

Electric Motor

e)

Dipole

7.

This is a material in which the magnetic domains are naturally aligned and stay that way for a very long time.

a)

Permanent Magnet

b)

Electromagnetc Wave

c)

Electromagnet

d)

Electric Motor

e)

Dipole

8.

This is a material in which the magnetic domains are naturally aligned and stay that way for a very long time.

a)

Permanent Magnet

b)

Electromagnetc Wave

c)

9.

Because electromagnetic waves travel as both a particle and a wave, this is the "particle" component of an electromagnetic wave.

a)

Proton

b)

Muon

c)

Electron

d)

Photon

e)

Magnetic Pole

10.

This is light that has passed through a filter, and as a result is only oriented along one axis. Helps reduce "glare".

a)

Incandescent Light

b)

Polarized Light

c)

Prism

d)

Fluorescent Light

e)

LED

11.

This is an object that separates visible light into the various colors present in white light.

a)

Incandescent Light

b)

Polarized Light

c)

Prism

d)

Fluorescent Light

e)

LED

12.

This is a representation of an invisible force that acts on materials with domains. It is often represented with lines that imply stronger force as they get closer together.

a)

Strawberry Fields

b)

Electromagnetic Waves

c)

Radiant Energy

d)

Electric Field

e)

Magnetic Field

13.

This is an energy that is most closely tied to the frequency of electromagnetic waves or the momentum of a photon.

a)

Magnetic Fields

b)

Electromagnetic Waves

c)

Radiant Energy

d)

Electric Field

e)

Magnetic Field
