A space mission to Mars detected the presence of argon in its atmosphere. Which type of instrument was in the space mission to Mars that helped detect the presence of argon?

• radio telescope

• reflector telescope

• satellite

• spectroscope

What conclusion is supported by the data?

• The strength of an electromagnet cannot be predicted based on the number of coils.

• The strength of an electromagnet increases as the number of coils increases.

• The strength of an electromagnet does not depend on the number of coils.

• The strength of an electromagnet decreases as the number of coils increases.

What is the difference between the magnetic field of a bar magnet and electromagnet?

• The magnetic field produced in a bar magnet has a higher intensity than that of an electromagnet.

• The magnetic field in an electromagnet lasts only as long as there is a supply of electric current.

• The intensity of the magnetic field in a bar magnet can be increased or decreased.

• The direction of the magnetic field in a bar magnet varies with respect to time.
