MAGNETISM REVIEW

GROUP 1: AKS 9A
Explain the circumstances under which a magnetic field is present.
Explain how current and magnetic fields are related.
Determine the appropriate equipment and measurements needed to detect a magnetic
field.
Demonstrate the presence of a magnetic field when an electric current is flowing.

GROUP 2: AKS 9B
Show how a magnetic field is created by electricity.
Demonstrate how coiling a current carrying wire strengthens a magnetic field.

GROUP 3: AKS 9B1

Identify the basic components needed to build an electromagnet.
Show how increasing the number of turns in a coil of current carrying wire affects the
strength of the magnetic field around an electromagnet.
Show how increasing the current through a coil of wire affects the strength of the
magnetic field around an electromagnet.
Show how adding an iron core to the center of a coil of wire affects the strength of the
magnetic field around an electromagnet.

GROUP 4: AKS 9C
