    ELECTROMAGNETISM

    Electromagnetism refers to a process where a magnetic field


    is produced when the current in the conductor is
    introduced.
    Electromagnets are made of coils of wire with electricity
    passing through them. Moving charges create magnetic
    fields, so when the coils of wire in an electromagnet have
    an electric current passing through them, the coils behave
    like a magnet.
    Application of electromagnetism
    1.Electric bell:The switch is pressed and current flows
    through the circuit. The electromagnet is powered
    and generates a magnetic field that attracts the iron
    strip towards it. The striker strikes the gong (bell).
    When the striking arm strikes the gong, the contact
    is broken and the current stops flowing through the
    circuit.
    Coils and Solenoids
    A coil is a series of looped copper wire up to a required
    length.
    Solenoid: A solenoid on the other hand, is a coil of insulated
    wire of many turns. It can also be used for making
    temporary magnet.

    APPLICATION /USES OF ELECTROMAGNET


    1. Electromagnets are used in electric bell and ear phones.
    2. Magnetic field produced are used in electric motor and
    generators.
    3. they are used in lifting heavy materials instead of cranes
    4.They are used in separating magnetic materials from
    non-magnetic materials.
    5.They are used in the hospitals for removing splinter
    of iron or steel from the eye.
