A compass is placed in each of the four locations around a permanent bar magnet as shown below. 1 N S 4 In which location would the North pole of the compass needle point to the right side of the page? (A) Location 1 (B) Location 2 (C) Location 3 (D) Location 4 2. Which of the following correctly shows the magnetic field between two opposite magnetic poles? (A) (B) N s (C) (D) N 3. Hitting a permanent magnet with a hammer makes it lose its magnetic properties. Which choice best explains why? (A) The magnetic domains are literally knocked from the material. (B) The kinetic energy is transferred to the magnet, neutralizing the magnetic energy that is in the magnet. C) Hitting the magnet allows the domains freedom to move somewhat and align themselves randomly. (D) The hammer is iron, and the magnetism is transferred to the iron. 4. The diagram shows a conductor between a pair of magnets. The current in the conductor flows out of the page. In what direction will the magnetic force act on the conductor? S (A) Up the page (B) Down the page . 1 (C) Towards the left (D) Towards the right N 5. Consider the following diagram of a conductor which is carrying a current out of the page. What is the direction of the magnetic field at point P? P (A) (B) (C) (D) Conductor
