Electricity always creates a magnetic field.
c)
Electricity is stronger than a magnetic field.
d)
Electricity prevents magnetic fields from occurring.
11.
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).
