Question

What happens when you wrap copper wire around a magnet?

Answer 1

Answer:

The copper itself is not magnetic, but when its approached by magnets, the electrons on the surface of the copper being rotating. In an effort to resist the magnet's pull, the electrons briefly create their own magnetic field, which slows down the magnet's descent

Answer 2

Answer:

✒ When the electric current moves through a wire, it makes a magnetic field. If you coil the wire around and around, it will make the magnetic force stronger, but it will still be pretty weak. Putting a piece of iron or steel inside the coil makes the magnet strong enough to attract objects.
