ELECTROMAGNET
-BY SAMEER KHAN
-XI SCI(A) What is an electromagnet ?
A magnet that is created by using the electric
current created by electricity is known as the electromagnet. Similarly, an electromagnet can be turned on or off to electricity. Accordingly, its strength can be increased or decreased by strengthening or diminishing the current . How to create an electromagnet ?
A simple electromagnet can be created with the
help of a coil of wire wrapped around an iron core. A core of ferromagnetic material like iron, which serves to increase the magnetic field created. The amount of current through the winding is proportional to the amount of magnetic field generated. Electromagnetic setup . How an electromagnetic setup works. When charges like protons and electrons are stationary, electric forces are created like an attractive or repulsive force between the charged particle. When they move, they produce magnetic forces either a repulsive or attractive force between the charged particles due to the motion. Within a magnet, a lot of particles are moving and generate the magnetic field for the magnet.Electromagnets generally made from a wire; a wire curled into a series of turns. Strengthens and concentrates the magnetic field more than a single stretch of wire. The wire turns are coiled around an ordinary magnet. Since it is made of ferromagnetic material like iron, it makes the electromagnet more powerful Uses of an electromagnet . Electromagnets are used for various purposes on a day-to-day basis. For example, electromagnets are used in the large cranes which are used in waste yards. Electromagnets are also widely used in numerous electromechanical and electronic devices. Some common uses are given below. 10 Uses of Electromagnets Generators, motors, and transformers Electric buzzers and bells Headphones and loudspeakers Relays and valves Data storage devices like VCRs, tape recorders, hard discs, etc. Induction cooker Magnetic locks MRI machines Particle accelerators Mass spectrometers Thus ,we made an electromagnet out of an iron nail coiled with copper wire to produce a temporary magnet . Below is the actual model which I made Bibliography
