Answer 1

Answer:

1.) The current is doubled

2.) moving a magnet up and down near the wire

3.) An electric current in the wire produces a magnetic field.

4.) Distance between Particles (m)

Explanation:

1.) When 6 V battery is connected to a 24 ohm resistor to create a circuit, using ohms law, V = IR

Current I = 6/24 = 0.25 A

When the The 6 V battery is replaced with a 12 V battery,

Current I = 12/24 = 0.5 A

Therefore, The current is doubled

2.) Electric current will be induced when moving a magnet up and down near the wire

3.) An electric current in the wire produces a magnetic field.

4.) Distance between Particles (m)

The force of attraction between two different masses is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
