Question

B) Explain the method of preparing electromagnet. How do you test the

Answer 1

Answer:

An electromagnet is made by forming a coil around a soft iron bar (known here as the metal) such as a nail or  screw and connect with an insulated copper wire (known here as the electric current conductor) the ends of the wound copper is then connected separately to the positive and negative terminals of a battery (known here as the source of electric current)

The north seeking needle of the magnetic compass will move away when brought close to the north pole of the formed electromagnet which can then be labelled N

The magnetic compass needle will be attracted to the south pole of the electromagnet which can then be labelled S

Explanation:

An electromagnet is an electric powered magnet that is formed (temporarily) by the perpendicular movement of electric current with respect to a metal core

The magnitude and the poles of an electromagnet can be changed by changing the magnitude and the direction of flow of the electric current respectively.
