Directions: circle the word that correctly completes the idea.
15. A motor converts (electrical, mechanical) energy into (electrical, mechanical) energy.
16. A generator converts (electrical, mechanical) energy into (electrical, mechanical) energy.
17. When (resistance, current) is passed through a coil of wire with a piece of iron inside, an electromagnet is formed.
18. An electromagnet is a (permanent, temporary) magnet.
19. Adding more loops of wire to the coil (increases, decreases) the strength of an electromagnet.
20. More current flowing will (increase, decrease) the strength of an electromagnet.
21. Electromagnets change (chemical, electrical) energy into mechanical energy.
22. An instrument that is used to detect current is (an electromagnet, a galvanometer).
23. A coil’s magnetic field can be flipped by (reversing the direction of current, increasing the number of loops) in the coil.
24. A motor (uses, creates) an electric current as it turns.
25. A generator (uses, creates) an electric current as it turns.
26. The current produced by a generator is (direct, alternating) current.
