Short Answer
1.) Where does electricity come from?
2.) What parts are needed to make a circuit?
3.) Which materials make good conductors of electricity? Metals such as copper and aluminum.
4.) What is the difference between a magnet and an electromagnet? An electromagnet uses electricity to turn the magnetic force on and off, a magnet has magnetic force that cannot be turned off.
