SHORT ANSWER
13. ANS:
No. All magnets have two opposite poles, north and south. It is impossible to have only a north or south pole
by itself.

19. ANS:
Electromagnets are magnets created when there is electric current flowing in a wire. The simplest
electromagnet uses a coil of wire that must be wrapped around a piece of metal. Iron is often used. Because
iron is magnetic, it concentrates the magnetic field created by the current in the coil.
DIF: basic

20. ANS:
Any two of these three answers is correct:
Increase current flow in the wire, increase amount of iron/steel in the core, increase the number of turns of
wire in the coil.

Once the permanent magnet is attracted to the heavy metal piece, it would be difficult to free the metal from
the magnet. The electromagnet will lose its magnetism when the current is turned off.

24. ANS:
The commutator switches the polarity of the electromagnet from north to south and back again. Switching the
polarity makes the rotor turn.

25. ANS:
To keep the magnet spinning, you need to reverse the hand-held magnet as each end of the suspended magnet

You can induce current either by moving the permanent magnet through a coil of wire or by moving a coil of
wire over the permanent magnet.

ESSAY
28. ANS:
A motor has a spinning disk called a rotor. When the rotor is spinning, the motor can do useful work. The
rotor has magnets along its outside edge. In some motors, these are permanent magnets. Other motors use
electromagnets. Outside the rotor there is another magnet (or set of magnets). A commutator causes the
magnet to reverse its polarity from north to south and back again. As the polarity changes, the magnets in the
rotor are first attracted and then repelled by the “outer” magnet. This action is similar to the
pull-and-then-push action that we use to turn a merry-go-round. The attracting and repelling action of the
“outer” magnet causes the rotor to turn..
