1. What is electromagnetism at the subatomic level?

It is a fundamental force between charged particles

It is the force that holds subatomic particles together

It is a fundamental method to form tiny electromagnets

2. What happens when electrons travel though a metal wire?

The wire becomes anodized

Electrons only travel through a wire if a magnet is nearby

A magnetic field is formed around the wire

3. What is electromagnetic induction?

It is creating a magnetic field from electric current

It is creating an electric current from a changing magnetic field

It is inducing magnetic currents

If you got all three correct, you are on your way to becoming a Champion in Physics. If you had problems, you had better look over the material again.
