Regarding question 3, why does that area of a solenoid produce a stronger magnetic field?

• The fields lines are more spread out and take up more space

• The field lines are facing multiple directions and can reach more objects

• There are fewer field lines in a larger area of space

• The field lines are aligned the same direction and in a higher quantity

• They are aligned but the desk is not magnetic

• They are not aligned and the desk is not magnetic

• They are aligned and the desk is magnetic

• There are no magnetic domains in the desk

Regarding the new right hand rule, what is true about the directions of the magnetic force and the particle's velocity?

Which of the following is NOT a method to demagnetize a magnet?

How is it possible for the magnetic force to move a particle but do no work to the particle?

• The force and particle directions are perpendicular, so there is no displacement change

• The field is not physically touching the particle

• The particle so small in mass that there is a negligible amount of work needed to move it

• The particle is following the law of attraction so there does not need to be any work.

Based on the image provided, what can you conclude about the area of the magnet with the strongest magnetic field?

• The strongest magnetic field is at the base of the magnet

• The magnetic field is strongest anywhere on the surface

• The strongest magnetic field is at the poles of the magnet

• You cannot determine where the magnetic field is strongest
