2. the space around the magnet that is affected by the magnetic field
3. the region within the magnet in which the magnetic poles of individual atoms are aligned
4. the region from which the magnetic material is mined
23.

In the region just outside the south pole of a magnet, the magnetic field lines ______.

1. point away from the south pole
2. go around the south pole
3. are less concentrated than at the north pole
4. point toward the south pole
24.
Which equation gives the force for a charge moving through a magnetic field?
1. $upper F equals q v upper B sine theta$
2. $upper F equals upper I script l upper B sine theta$
3. $upper F equals upper I script l upper B$
4. $upper F equals q v upper B$
25.
Can magnetic field lines cross each other? Explain why or why not.
1. Yes, magnetic field lines can cross each other because that point of intersection indicates two possible directions of magnetic field, which is possible.
2. No, magnetic field lines cannot cross each other because that point of intersection indicates two possible directions of magnetic field, which is not possible.
26.

29.

What would be the effect on the torque of an electric motor of doubling the width of the current loop in the motor?

1. Torque remains the same.
2. Torque is doubled.
3. Torque is quadrupled.
4. Torque is halved.
30.
Why are the coils of a transformer wrapped around a loop of ferrous material?

2. The induced emf is directly proportional to the number of coils in a solenoid.
3. The induced emf is inversely proportional to the square of the number of coils in a solenoid.
4. The induced emf is proportional to square of the number of coils in a solenoid.
