Question 1

Compass

Answer 1

A device with lines up with the earth’s magnetic field

Question 2

Constructing a compass

Answer 2

A long, thin strip of magnetic material that is free to rotate

Question 3

Drawing Magnetic fields

Answer 3

Place a compass nearby and connect lines to show the direction it points in

Question 4

Electromagnet

Answer 4

A magnet created with coils of wire with current through them

Question 5

Electromagnet Parts

Answer 5

A magnet with created coils of wire with current flowing through them

Question 6

Solenoid

Answer 6

The shape formed when wires are coiled in a cylinder

Question 7

Ways to Increase Electromagnet Strength

Answer 7

Increase current, increase coils of wire or use an iron core

Question 8

Current - carrying conductor

Answer 8

A piece of conducting material that current flows through

Question 9

Equation of an electromagnet force

Answer 9

F = B x I x L
Force = mag field strength x current x length of wire
