Electricity and Magnetism Exploration
Help a team of young inventors solve electricity and magnetism challenges. Read each question carefully. For the circuit drawing, label every part.
Electricity in a circuit
A circuit is a path that lets electric current flow.
1.Aaliyah connects a battery, wires, and a small bulb. The bulb lights only when the parts make a complete loop. Which choice describes the working circuit?
- A closed path from one battery terminal, through the bulb, and back to the other terminal
- A wire connected to only one battery terminal
- A bulb placed next to the battery without wires
- A wire loop that does not include the bulb
2.Aaliyah’s bulb goes out when one wire slips loose. Explain why the bulb stops glowing.
3.Draw a simple circuit with one battery, wires, and one light bulb. Make sure the path is closed, and label the battery, wires, and bulb.
Use this space for your labeled closed-loop circuit.
4.After rubbing a balloon on her hair, Aaliyah notices that the balloon can pull small bits of paper toward it. What kind of electricity helps explain this effect?
- Static electricity
- Electric current in a closed circuit
- Sound energy
- Gravity from the balloon
Magnets and their effects
Magnets exert forces that can pull some materials closer or push other magnets apart.
5.Two bar magnets are held with their north poles facing each other. What will the magnets do?
- Repel, or push apart
- Attract, or pull together
- Turn into one larger magnet
- Have no magnetic force between them
6.A magnet is tested with a steel paper clip, an iron nail, a plastic spoon, and a wooden craft stick. Which two objects should be attracted to the magnet?
7.A student sprinkles iron filings near a bar magnet. The filings form curved patterns around the magnet. What do these patterns help show?
8.A team wants to find out whether adding more wire coils around an iron nail changes how many paper clips an electromagnet can pick up. Name one thing the team should keep the same in each test.
9.A magnet can exert a force on some objects without touching them.
TrueFalse
10.In one or two sentences, compare how a closed electric circuit and a magnet can make something happen. Include the word force or current.
