Sample Questions

1multiple correct

Which of the following are advantages of electromagnets over permanent magnets?

Show answer

Magnetic field strength can be changed, Polarity can be reversed, Produces very strong magnetic field

Electromagnets can have their strength adjusted by changing current, polarity reversed by changing current direction, and produce very strong fields. They require electricity and can be switched off.

2true false

A solenoid behaves like a bar magnet when current flows through it.

Show answer

True

When current flows through a solenoid, it creates a magnetic field similar to a bar magnet, with distinct north and south poles at its ends.

3multiple correct

Which of the following factors affect the speed of rotation in a DC motor?

Show answer

Current through the coil, Number of turns in coil, Strength of magnetic field, Area of the coil

The speed of DC motor increases with higher current, more turns, stronger magnetic field, and larger coil area. Wire color has no effect on motor performance.

4multiple choice

Electromagnetic induction was discovered by:

Show answer

Michael Faraday

Michael Faraday discovered electromagnetic induction after working for about 12 years, proving that changing magnetic fields can produce electric current.
