Resources and methods for learning about these subjects (list a few here, in preparation for your research): 1 Questions Question 1 In 1820, the French physicist Andr´e Marie Amp`ere discovered that two parallel wires carrying electrical current would either be attracted to one another, or repelled by one another, depending on what directions the two currents were going. Devise an experiment to reproduce Amp`ere’s results, and determine which directions current must go to produce an attractive versus a repulsive force. file 00170 Question 2 When lightning strikes, nearby magnetic compass needles may be seen to jerk in response to the electrical discharge. No compass needle deflection results during the accumulation of electrostatic charge preceding the lightning bolt, but only when the bolt actually strikes. What does this phenomenon indicate about voltage, current, and magnetism? file 00077 Question 3 A permanent magnet is a device that retains a magnetic field without need for a power source. Though many of us have experienced the effects of magnetism from a permanent magnet, very few people can describe what causes permanent magnetism. Explain the cause of permanent magnetism, in your own words. file 00173 Q
