Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 7.80 Electricity and Magnetism Basics skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery
Which rule best predicts a change that will increase the strength of electric or magnetic force in a setup?
AChange only the color and size labels on the objects.
BUse nonmagnetic or uncharged objects while keeping the same distance.
CMake the interacting sources stronger and reduce the distance between them.
DMake the objects farther apart and remove charge or current.
Solution & Explanation:Across these setups, stronger sources such as more charge, more current, stronger magnets, or more coil turns usually increase force, especially when distance decreases.
Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery
A toy solenoid launcher barely pulls an iron bead into the coil. Which redesign would most increase the initial pull on the bead?
ADisconnect the battery after placing the bead near the coil.
BUse more coil turns, increase current safely, and start the bead closer to the coil opening.
CReplace the iron bead with a plastic bead.
DUse fewer coil turns, lower current, and start the bead farther away.
Solution & Explanation:The pull increases with more coil turns, higher current, and shorter distance to a magnetic iron bead. Plastic or no current would weaken the force.
Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery
An electroscope's leaves spread slightly when a charged rod is held 10 cm from the knob. Which change would most increase the leaf spread?
AUse a more highly charged rod and hold it 2 cm from the knob.
BKeep the same rod at 10 cm but change the table color.
CUse a less charged rod and hold it 15 cm from the knob.
DDischarge the rod before holding it near the knob.
Solution & Explanation:Greater charge and shorter distance create a stronger electric effect on the electroscope, so the leaves spread more.
