Unit 3 Lesson 5 Electromagnetism Assessment Template
1. Explain what it means when we say a substance is magnetic. (HINT: Be sure to mention the role of the Electrons) If a substance is magnetic, we are actually saying that it is able to be acted upon by a magnetic field. When electricity flows through a circuit, it creates a magnetic field.When a magnet cuts across a circuit, a voltage is produced.
2. Discuss the relationship between electric and magnetic fields. (HINT: Be sure to discuss what happens when electric current is applied to a magnetic field.) The relationship that exists between an electric field and a magnetic field is one of electromagnetic interaction as a consequence of associating elementary particles.
3. Before you begin, form a hypothesis that reflects which gauge of wire, materials, voltage, and number of winds you think will produce the strongest electromagnet. (HINT: Use the following list to help fill in the blanks below.) If I use Large gauge of wire and Copper as the material, with a voltage of 100 Volts and 100 number of winds, then this will produce the strongest electromagnet.
Gauge Choices: Large, Medium, or Small
Material Choices: Copper, Aluminum, or String
Voltage Choices: 10, 50, 100
Number of Winds: Choice of 2 to 100
If I use __Large___ gauge of wire and ___Copper____ as the material, with a voltage of __100__ Volts and ___100___ number of winds, then this will produce the strongest electromagnet.
4. Record your data for each trial.
