Here are the answers to your questions:

11. **True** - A nail can be magnetized by coming into contact with a permanent magnet, causing its magnetic domains to align.

12. **True** - An ordinary steel bolt can be turned into a magnet through methods such as rubbing it with a magnet or placing it in a magnetic field.

13. Select all that apply:
- **a** Increase the number of coils
- **c** Increase the current flowing through the coils

14. **d** Newtons - The unit of force is Newtons.

15. **False** - In the equation for Coulomb's Law, q can have both positive and negative values, representing positive and negative charges.

16. **c** repelled by one another - If the value of F (force) is positive, it indicates that the two objects are repelling each other.

17. **a** moving electric charges - The source of all magnetism is moving electric charges.

18. **b** magnetic poles - Every magnet, regardless of its shape, has two magnetic poles (north and south).
