An electromagnet is the most powerful type of magnet there is. It is a magnet with a current running through if that can be turned on and off. Why might it be useful to be able to turn the electromagnet on and off? (1 point)

to reduce wearing out of the magnet over time

to not waste electricity

to latch onto and let go of objects

to control the strength of the magnet:

What does electric current measure? (1 point)

How quickly electrical energy moves in a circuit

How frequently electrical energy moves in a circuit

how well electrical energy moves in a circuit

how much electrical energy moves in a circuit

How is a magnetic field produced? (1 point)

when electrons move through a circuit

when an electromagnetic field interacts with a magnet

when a current runs through a conductor

when an object has an electric charge

Which statement best describes how an electromagnetic motor works? (1 point)

Electrons are moved through a magnet, creating a current. That current interacts with a circuit, moving the conductor in the orientation of the field

Electrons are moved through a circuit, creating a current. That current interacts with a magnet, moving the conductor in the orientation of the field

Electrons are moved through a magnet, creating a circuit. That circuit interacts with a current, moving the conductor in the orientation of the field

Electrons are moved through a current, creating a circuit. That circuit interacts with a magnet, moving the conductor in the orientation of the field.
