Which of the following would decrease the strength of an electromagnet? check all that apply

a.) straightening the wire

b.) increasing the current flow

c.) decreasing the voltage

d.) decreasing the resistance

e.) increasing the number of loops of wire

Answer:

The correct answer is:

A. straightening the wire, because the number of turns of the wire around the iron core is directly proportional with  the strength of electromagnet.

and,

C. decreasing the voltage is correct, by decreasing the voltage, the current will decrease and this leads to weaker electromagnet.

Explanation:

Simply, the electromagnet is used to convert electric energy to magnetic energy.

Basic idea:

The basic idea of the electromagnet is, when the electric current passes through a wire it creates a weak magnetic field

Components of simple electromagnet:

Battery: source of electricityElectric wire: the electric current passes through itIron core: will convert to temporary magnet

The strength of electromagnet is simply defined by the strength of magnetic field that synthesized by the electric current.

Factors affects strength of electromagnet:

Strength of current: by increasing the current that passes through the wire the magnetic field will increase, ( so decreasing the voltage will decrease the current produced and will decrease the strength of electromagnet)Number of loops or number of turns of the wire: the more the number of turns, the more the electric field produced, (so straightening the wire will decrease the magnetic field induced and decrease the strength of electromagnet).The metal core: iron core makes stronger electromagnet.Decreasing the resistance: this will increase the current produced and will increase strength of electromagnet.

Proteins are the workhorses of the cell, controlling virtually every reaction within as well as providing structure and serving as signals to other cells. proteins are long chains of  amino acids  , and the exact sequence of the amino acids determines the final structure and function of the protein. instructions for that sequence are encoded in  genes  . to make a particular protein, a messenger ribonucleic acid (mrna) copy is made from the gene (in the process called  transcription  ), and the mrna is transported to the  ribosome  . protein synthesis, also called  translation  , begins when the two ribosomal subunits link onto the mrna. this step, called initiation, is followed by elongation, in which successive amino acids are added to the growing chain, brought in by transfer rnas (trnas). in this step, the ribosome reads the  nucleotides  of mrna three by three, in units called  codons  , and matches each to three nucleotides on the trna, called the anticodon. finally, during termination, the ribosome unbinds from the mrna, and the  amino acid  chain goes on to be processed and folded to make the final, functional protein
