what is an electro magnet
Answers
Answer:
Electromagnets are made out of a coil of wire (wire curled in series). This is more effective in producing a magnetic field than just a wire running straight. This effect can be strengthened by winding a wire tightly around a powerful core, made of magnetic material, such as iron. The picture above shows a coil wound around an iron nail. On its own, the iron nail is not magnetic.
Properties of Magnet
A few properties of the magnet are as follows:
Attractive Property – Ferromagnetic materials like iron, nickel and cobalt are attracted by magnets
Repulsive Property – Like poles repel each other while unlike poles attract each other
Directive Property – A freely suspended magnet always points in the north-south direction
Answer:
An electromagnet is a magnet that runs on electricity. Unlike a permanent magnet, the strength of an electromagnet can easily be changed by changing the amount of electric current that flows through it. ... An electromagnet works because an electric current produces a magnetic field.
