What does an electromagnet do?

Physics
1 answer:
butalik [34]3 years ago
8 0
An electromagnet is a device that sends electricity through a coil of wire to produce a magnetic field. This leads to a magnet that can be controlled - turned on and off with the flip of a switch, or increased or decreased in strength. The coils are often wrapped around a regular magnet to make it stronger.

Jake calculates that the frequency of a wave is 230 hertz, and its wave is moving at 460 m/s. What is the wavelength of the wave
Nesterboy [21]

Wavelength = (speed) / (frequency) = (460 m/s) / (230/sec) = <em>2 meters</em>

Increasing the number of loops in a electromagnet or solenoid will cause it to be stronger
Zielflug [23.3K]
True

The electromagnet will become stronger if we add more coils because there are more field lines in a loop then there is in a straight piece of wire. In a solenoid there are a lot of loops and they are concentrated in the middle, as more loops are added the field lines get larger, therefore making the electromagnet stronger.

Work-Energy Theorem: A 4.0 kg object is moving with speed 2.0 m/s. A 1.0 kg object is moving with speed 4.0 m/s. Both objects en
allsm [11]

The same braking force does work on these objects to slow them down. The work done is equal to their change in kinetic energy:

FΔx = 0.5mv²

F = force, Δx = distance traveled, m = mass, v = speed

Isolate Δx:

Δx = 0.5mv²/F

Calculate Δx for each object.

Object 1: m = 4.0kg, v = 2.0m/s

Δx = 0.5(4.0)(2.0)²/F = 8/F

Object 2: m = 1.0kg, v = 4.0m/s

Δx = 0.5(1.0)(4.0)²/F = 8/F

The two objects travel the same distance before stopping.
