Question 1 2 This graphic shows the earth’s magnetic field is as if it has a magnet inside. Is the diagram correct? (a) yes (b) no The field lines are backwards! The magnetic field should point towards the geographic north pole
Question 2 At the north pole of the earth 3 At the north pole of the earth (a) its a south pole of a magnet (b) its a north pole of a magnet (c) the magnetic field points straight up (d) the magnetic field points parallel to surface of earth (e) none of these
Question 3 4 Which one is Michael Faraday?
5 Question 4 If vector “a” points down, and vector “b” points to the front of the room, what direction does “ab” point? (a) up (b) left (c) right (d) down (e) none of these RIGHT HAND RULE

Question 6 The formal definition of north pole of a magnet 7 The formal definition of north pole of a magnet (a) magnetic field emanates from it (b) magnetic field points into it (c) the “north seeking” end of a magnet (d) the positive pole strength of a dipole (e) none of these
