TCAP Review

The image shows two ways of transmitting signals for television broadcasting. Historically, in aerial transmissions for television, the analog signals were transmitted from a television station tower and received at homes through an antenna. In current satellite transmissions, the signals are digitized and transmitted from the sender to the receiver through a satellite. Why are satellite transmissions used instead of aerial transmissions?

• Only satellite transmissions can work in bad weather.

• Satellite transmissions can serve a much larger area.

• Unlike aerial transmissions, satellite transmissions are a wireless mode of transmission.

• Unlike aerial transmissions, satellite transmissions do not have to pass through the air.

Which phenomenon is most likely being tested during investigation #1?

• an iron nail is a natural magnet

• an iron nail has to ve used to create an electromagnet

• a small battery has stored magnetism that can be used to attract paper clips

• wire wrapped around an iron nail attached to the poles of a battery will produce a magnetic field

Which phenomenon is most likely being tested during investigation #2?

• the larger the nail is, the more magnetic Forde it will have

• the battery increases the power the there are more coils in the wire

• the magnetic force increases the more coils are wrapped around the nail

• the wire around the nail needs to be thin to make the magnetic force stronger
