02. For the following situation, draw the force exerted by the solid object with a solid arrow. Draw the force exerted by the dashed object with a dashed arrow:

03. The force between the south pole of one magnet and the south pole of another magnet is measured. If the distance between those magnets is suddenly doubled, how will the new force compare with the old one? Is the force attractive or repulsive?

04. A physicist charges an object with a positively-charged rod. If the object develops a negative charge, how did the physicist charge the object?

05. If a circuit has a low voltage, is there any way to get a lot of energy from it? If so, how?

06. You are blindfolded and handed two extension cords. Both have the same current running through them. If the cord in your left hand is warmer than the one in your right hand, which cord is thicker?

07. Draw the conventional current flow in the following circuit with a dashed line. Draw the flow of electrons with a solid line.
current


08. In most chandeliers today, when one light bulb goes out, the rest stay lit. Are the light bulbs wired in series or parallel?

09. The atoms in an object are not aligned. Is the object a magnet?

10. You cut a magnet in half - right between the north and south poles. How many north poles and south poles do you have?
