The following passage describes a recent breakthrough in medical technology.
Read the passage. Then, answer the questions.
Organs in the human body have magnetic fields, just as Earth or a horseshoe magnet has
a magnetic field. The most common source of magnetism in the body is electric currents
generated naturally by muscles and nerves. The heart and brain produce the most
current.
New technology has provided better detectors for the tiny magnetic fields produced
by organs. One of the newest and most sensitive detectors is known as SQUID. This
name stands for Superconducting Quantum Interference Device.
Much of the research done with SQUID on human magnetism is centered on the
brain. Electric currents in the brain produce magnetic fields. When these fields are
sensed by SQUID, they produce charts called magnetoencephalograms, or MEGs. The
MEGs sense small sources of activity in the brain. As a result, MEGs can define
individual sources of electrical activity clearly. This can give doctors information to help
diagnose brain disorders. Epilepsy is one illness that is being better diagnosed with the
help of MEGs. A person with epilepsy has disrupted electrical rhythms in the brain.
MEGs help locate the place in the brain that causes the epilepsy.

Enrichment Activity for Lesson 21-6
Skills: analyzing experiments, interpreting data, drawing conclusions
The following experiment was performed by four physical science students. They
wanted to find out what factors affect the ability of an electromagnet to attract
objects. Read the description of the experiment. Then, answer the questions.
Kameko, Justin, Doug, and Elena made an electromagnet by wrapping 50 cm of wire
around a core of five iron nails. Then, they connected the free ends of the wire to the
positive and negative terminals of a dry cell. They tested the electromagnet to see how
many paper clips it would pick up. On their first trial, they found that the magnet would
pick up four paper clips. Then, Kameko wrapped another 50 cm of wire around the
nails. The students found that now their electromagnet picked up six paper clips.
Doug decided to find out what would happen if three of the nails were removed
from the magnet. When the students tried to pick up paper clips, they found that the
electromagnet would pick up only two paper clips. Elena suggested that they replace
the three nails and try increasing the distance between the magnet and the paper clips.
The students found that at first the magnet picked up all six paper clips, but that when
the distance between the magnet and the paper clips was increased by 5 cm, the magnet
picked up only four of the clips. When the distance was increased by another 10 cm, the
magnet picked up only two clips. At a distance of 20 cm from the magnet, no paper clips
were picked up.

21-5 How are electricity and magnetism
related?
Lesson Review
1. An electric current produces a magnetic field.
2. When a magnetic compass is near an electrical
device, the pointer may no longer point north. The
relationship is called electromagnetism. 3. Michael
Faraday did experiments with magnets to find out if
a magnetic field produced an electric current. 4. In
electromagnetic induction, an electric current is
produced by moving a wire in a magnetic field or by
moving a magnet past a stationary wire. 5. Oersted
used a series circuit to discover that an electric
current produces a magnetic field.

21-4 How is Earth like a magnet?
Enrichment Activity: Magnetic Variation
1. They are both high in the Northern Hemisphere,
but they are about 1,300 k away from each other.
2. They are both in the Southern Hemisphere, but
they are not in exactly the same place. 3. the
geographic North Pole 4. near the poles, because
the angle between the line connecting the
geographic poles and the line connecting the
magnetic poles gets larger as one moves closer to the
poles
Possible answers: Hypothesis: An electric current
produces a magnetic field around a wire, affecting a
compass needle held nearby. Variables: The
amount of electricity running through the wire, and
the distance between the compass needle and the
wire. Procedure: First, connect the battery to the
wire and to the switch. Next, flip the switch, causing
an electric current to flow through the wire. Move
the compass needle close to the wire, see if the
needle responds to the magnetic field. Continuing to
hold the compass needle near the wire, turn off the
switch. Observe the compass needle. Type of data
to study: I will record my observations about what
the compass needle does when it is near the wire,
and the differences in the compass needle when
current is flowing through the wire and when there
is no current flowing.

21-6 What is an electromagnet?
Enrichment Activity: Electromagnetism
1. What factors affect the strength of an
electromagnet? 2. dry cell, 5 iron nails, wire, and
paper clips 3. number of loops of wire; size of core
(number of nails); and distance between magnet and
paper clips 4. The strength of an electromagnet is
affected by the number of loops of wire, the size of
the magnet, and the distance between the magnet
and the object being pulled. 5. The magnet picked
up more paper clips when the number of loops of
wire was increased. It picked up fewer paper clips
when the number of nails in the magnet was
decreased. It picked up fewer paper clips as the
distance between the magnet and the paper clips
increased. 6. The strength of an electromagnet
increases with the number of loops of wire, and
decreases as the size of the magnet core decreases.
The effectiveness of the magnetic field decreases as
the distance between the magnet and the object
being pulled increases.
21-8 What is an electric motor?
Lesson Review
Possible answers: 1. An electric motor changes
electrical energy into mechanical energy. 2. An
electric motor uses both a permanent magnet and an
electromagnet. 3. Attraction and repulsion between
an electromagnet and a permanent magnet are
responsible for the motion of an electric motor.
4. Direct current cannot be used in an electric motor
unless a special switch called a commutator is used.
5. You can reverse the poles of an electromagnet by
reversing the direction of the current running
through it. 6. Many electrical appliances use electric
motors.
Skill Challenge
Check students’ collages. Possible pictures: electric
appliances such as dishwashers, blenders, electric
ovens, air conditioners, electric tools, and
refrigerators
Sample paragraph: My life would be different if
electric motors had never been invented. The electric
motor is one of the main ways in which power
plants produce electricity. Without the electric
motor, most of the appliances that we use every day,
from blenders to blow dryers, would not exist.

water; mechanical energy 2. spins the turbine
3. the spinning of the turbine, which in turn spins
the magnets 4. As the electromagnets move, the
wire cuts magnetic lines of force, producing an
electric current. 5. The electric current produced in
the wires is conducted to power lines that eventually
reach homes, schools, and other buildings.
The Big Idea
Lesson Review
1. magnetic levitation 2. Maglev trains have
magnets on the bottom of the train that are repelled
by magnets on the tracks below. Because of this, the
train floats above the track. 3. The advantage is that
maglev trains have almost no friction as they are
gliding above the track. Because of this, they use less
fuel than ordinary trains, which means less pollution
will be produced. 4. magnetic force 5. an
electromagnet that is supercooled so electricity flows
through it with almost no resistance 6. about 500
km per hour
Skill Challenge
1. It would probably be a much smoother, quieter,
and faster ride than on an ordinary train. 2. Maglev
trains are a new idea, and there are several possible
designs for them. Before they become commonplace,
engineers need to decide what the best design is. In
addition, maglev trains are expensive to build.
3. Possible answers: the large cost associated with
building a maglev train; The lack of friction in a
train might make it harder to stop the train. The fact
that the trains go so fast might make them more
dangerous in an accident.

18. Electricity and magnetism are two aspects of the
same force. An electric current produces a magnetic
field around the wire through which it is running. A
moving magnetic field produces a current in a wire
through which the field moves.
19. The ability of scientists to use magnetic fields to
produce electricity, as it is in generators, has made
power plants possible. It has established another
source of electricity besides batteries and lightning,
allowing engineers to convert mechanical energy
into electrical energy. It has also allowed for the
invention of the electric motor, which is responsible
for our ability to convert the electricity from a power
plant back into mechanical energy.
