When an atom gains or loses an electron, which of the following terms applies?
- A.
Unbalanced
- B.
Lightened
- C.
Neutral
- D.
Ionized
Correct Answer
D. IonizedExplanation
When an atom gains or loses an electron, it becomes ionized. Ionization occurs when an atom becomes electrically charged due to the imbalance of protons and electrons. This process can result in the formation of positively charged ions (when an atom loses electrons) or negatively charged ions (when an atom gains electrons). Therefore, the term "ionized" accurately describes the state of an atom after it gains or loses an electron.Rate this question:

Electrostatic lines of force are drawn in which of the following manners?
- A.
Entering negative charge, entering positive charge
- B.
Entering negative charge, leaving positive charge
- C.
Leaving negative charge, leaving positive charge
- D.
Leaving negative charge, entering positive charge
Correct Answer
B. Entering negative charge, leaving positive chargeExplanation
Electrostatic lines of force are drawn in a manner where they enter negative charges and leave positive charges. This is because negative charges repel each other, so the lines of force are drawn towards them. On the other hand, positive charges attract negative charges, so the lines of force are drawn away from them. This pattern helps to visualize the direction and strength of the electric field around charges.Rate this question:

The law of magnetic poles states which of the following relationships?
- A.
Like poles attract, unlike poles attract
- B.
Like poles attract, unlike poles repel
- C.
Like poles repel, unlike poles repel
- D.
Like poles repel, unlike poles attract
Correct Answer
D. Like poles repel, unlike poles attractExplanation
The law of magnetic poles states that like poles repel each other and unlike poles attract each other. This means that if two magnets have the same polarity (both north or both south), they will push each other away. On the other hand, if two magnets have opposite polarities (one north and one south), they will be attracted to each other and stick together. This relationship is a fundamental principle in magnetism and helps explain how magnets interact with each other.Rate this question:

The north indicating pole of a compass needle is attracted to which of the following poles of the earth?
- A.
The geographic north pole
- B.
The magnetic north pole
- C.
The geographic south pole
- D.
The magnetic south pole
Correct Answer
B. The magnetic north poleExplanation
The north-indicating pole of a compass needle is attracted to the magnetic north pole of the Earth. It's important to note that the magnetic north pole of the Earth is actually a magnetic south pole in terms of magnetic polarity, which is why it attracts the north-indicating (or magnetic north) pole of a compass. This seemingly paradoxical situation arises because opposites attract in magnetism: a north pole of a magnet is attracted to a south pole.
The geographic north and south poles refer to points on the Earth's surface where its axis of rotation meets its surface, and are not related to the Earth's magnetic field, which is why options involving geographic poles are incorrect. The magnetic poles, on the other hand, are defined based on the Earth's magnetic field, where the field lines are vertical at the poles. Therefore, the north-indicating pole of a compass is attracted to the magnetic north pole.Rate this question:

Weber’s theory of magnetism assumes that magnetic material is composed of
- A.
Tiny molecular magnets
- B.
Domains of magnetic influence
- C.
Large blocks of material acting as magnets
- D.
Atoms with electrons spinning different directions
Correct Answer
D. Atoms with electrons spinning different directionsExplanation
Weber's theory of magnetism assumes that magnetic material is composed of atoms with electrons spinning in different directions. This is because the magnetic properties of a material are determined by the alignment and movement of its electrons. When electrons spin in different directions, their magnetic moments cancel each other out, resulting in a non-magnetic material. However, when electrons spin in the same direction, their magnetic moments add up, creating a magnetic field. Therefore, atoms with electrons spinning in different directions are a crucial component of magnetic materials.Rate this question:

- C.
The piezoelectric effect
- D.
The chemical reaction of the magnet and the filings
Correct Answer
A. The magnetic fieldExplanation
When a glass plate is placed over a magnet and iron filings are sprinkled over it, the pattern observed indicates the presence of a magnetic field. Iron filings align themselves along the magnetic field lines, forming a pattern that represents the shape and direction of the magnetic field. This phenomenon occurs because iron is a ferromagnetic material, meaning it can be magnetized and attracted to magnets. Therefore, the pattern formed by the iron filings confirms the presence and characteristics of the magnetic field generated by the magnet.Rate this question:
