Gravity, Electricity and Magnetism

A student claims that Earth has a magnetic field. Which evidence would best support the student's claim?

• The student creates a working circuit that illuminates a bulb using wire and a battery.

• The student turns in all directions with a compass and the needle always points north.

• The student receives a shock after walking across the carpet and touching a doorknob.

• The student rolls a ball down a large hill and the ball comes to a complete stop at the bottom

If Earth had twice the mass it has now, how would the gravitational force between it and the Sun change?

• The gravitational force would be twice as much as it is now.

• The gravitational force would be four times as much as it is now.

• The gravitational force would be half as much as it is now.

• The gravitational force would be the same as it is now.
