True or False
Current electricity causes a person's hair to try to stick to a charged balloon.
What is False?
Wrapping a wire around an iron nail and creating a closed circuit produces
What is an electromagnet?
True or False?
The boy walked across the carpet wearing socks. He feel a little shock when he touched the metal doorknob because of static electricity.
What is True?
The best way to strengthen an electromagnet.
What is adding more coils/windings around the nail or adding a stronger battery.
True or False:
You must have a balloon to create static electricity.
What is False?
Static electricity is the result of an imbalance between negative and positive charges in an object. These charges can build up on the surface of an object until they find a way to be released or discharged.
What are examples of electromagnets in real life?
True or False
Hurricanes are caused by static electricity.
What is false?
**Lightning is caused by static electricity.

What are a magnetic field and an electromagnet?
Copper wire is often wrapped in plastic. Plastic is good for transferring static electricity.
What is false?
How does a simple electromagnet create a magnetic field?
What is moving charges/electrons create magnetic fields, so when the coils of wire in an electromagnet have an electric current passing through them, the coils behave like a magnet.
