True or False

Mark each of the statements below True or False.

1 .       Electromagnetic induction is the force that produces a magnetic field. [Hint]

 
 


2 .       The tesla is the unit of magnetic flux. [Hint]

 
 


3 .       A relay is an electromagnetically controlled mechanical device in which electrical contacts are opened or closed by a magnetizing current. [Hint]

 
 


4 .       A magnetic field is made up of flux lines. [Hint]

 
 


5 .       Reluctance in a magnetic circuit is analogous to current in an electrical circuit. [Hint]

 
 


6 .       If a conductor is moved back and forth at a constant rate in a constant magnetic field, the voltage in the conductor will reverse polarity. [Hint]

 
 


7 .       Lenz's law defines the polarity of the induced voltage. [Hint]

 
 


8 .       Hysteresis is the number of lines of force per unit area in a magnetic field. [Hint]

 
 


9 .       Materials with a low retentivity do not retain a magnetic field very well. [Hint]
