2. Gauss’s law for magnetism

3. Ampere’s law

4. Faraday’s law

Explanation / Answer

here,

Part 1:
Until it is magnetized, the atoms in a piece of iron are aligned in random directions and their tiny magnetic fields cancel each other out.
so option C is correct

Part 2:
From Lortez equation, F = q*v*B*SinA

Where Sin in angle betweeen field and force, so force will be maximum, when A = 90, sin90, Force, F = q*v*B

so option, C is correct

Part 3:
Magnatic field, B = uo*I/2*pi*r
Where,
uo is magantic permeability
I is current
r is distance to Wire

Option C is correct

Part 4:
option D is correct,

Part 5:
An electric motor is an electrical machine that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy.

Part 6:
The reverse of Electric motor would be the conversion of mechanical energy into electrical energy and is done by an electric generator.

Part 7:
Many electromagnetic coils have a magnetic core, a piece of ferromagnetic material like iron in the center to increase the magnetic field.

The current through the coil magnetizes the iron, and the field of the magnetized material adds to the field produced by the wire.

So, option C is correct
