Why do you use a line drawn in pencil on the paper?
to show where the spot of dye should be placed. pencil is used because it will not dissolve and interefere with the results
48
why is it importantn to not let the ink spot to go under the water
so that the ink does no tdissolve into the water in the beaker

what is magnetic field
A magnetic field is the area around a magnet where magnetic forces can be felt.
193
describe how you could use a magnetic compass to detect a magnetic field
Place the compass near the magnet; the needle will align itself along the magnetic field lines, showing the direction of the field.
194
describe how a piece of paper and iron filings could be used to show the pattern of the magnetic field between two south poles of different magnets
Place the paper over the magnets and sprinkle iron filings. The filings will show the pattern of the magnetic field, which will show the lines pushing apart between the two south poles (repelling).
195
two applications of electromagnets
mri scanner
toaster
196
two changes to the electromagnet that would make the pointed end of the nail become south/north pole
Reverse the direction of the wire coil around the nail.
Reverse the connection to the power supply.
196
when switch close, end of the dails can detect pins. why
Closing the switch allows current to flow through the coil, magnetizing the nail, which attracts pins.
197
when switch open, pin fall off the nail. why
Opening the switch cuts the current, demagnetizing the nail, causing it to lose its magnetic properties and release the pin.
197
how can marcus test whether the pointed end of the nail behaves as a north pole or as a south pole
Bring a known north pole of a magnet near the pointed end. If it repels, the pointed end is a north pole; if it attracts, it is a south pole.
197
two advantages of using an adjustable power supply
Control the strength of the electromagnet.
Prevent overheating by limiting current.
198
what happens to the reading on the digital balance when the electromagnet is switched on
The reading increases as the electromagnet attracts the object on the balance.
199
if the connection from the electromagnet to the power supply is reversed, then the change in readings on the balance will also be reversed
The change in readings will be reversed because the polarity of the electromagnet changes, affecting the attraction or repulsion.
200

209
how to determine poles of a manet
use compass. if it pooints towards the end of the bar, its south, if it points away, it is north
bring the north pole of a bar magnet to the end of the bar, if it attracts, its south, repel, north

220
a bar magnet is alllowed to rotate freely. explain which pole of th ebar magnet with point towards geograpphic north
The north pole of a freely rotating bar magnet points towards geographic north because it is attracted to the Earth's magnetic south pole, which is located near the geographic north pole.
