Question

Make a diagram of an electromagnet. Label and explain how each components work.

Answer 1

Explanation:

Electromagnet is a magnet that is made using electricity. It is made using batteries,coil and iron core. The strength of electromagnet depends on the turns of the wire in the coil of wire and the number of batteries used.

Answer 2

Answer:

Electromagnet is a kind of magnet which produces the magnetic field by the supply of electric current.

Explanation:

Electromagnets acts the same as normal magnets, they possess north and south poles which repel with similar poles and attract to opposite poles.

They can change their north and south pole positions, a characteristic which normal magnets lack.

Electromagnet components and their working -

• Magnet core - It is made up of a piece of iron core or ferromagnet on which the coil of wire is wrapped and consists of north and south pole.
• Wire - Carries the electric current to create a magnetic field. It can be of any shape but generally to make the magnetic field stronger the wire is wrapped in the form of a coil called a solenoid.
• Power source - The source of the power can be direct current (DC) or an alternating current (AC). It is the form of voltage source which flows through the wire to create magnetic fields.
