THE FLOW OF CURRENT Quiz

SUBJECT:
PHYSICS, class VII

CAN BE MAGNETIC! TOPIC: ELECTROMAGNET

A LESSON ON ELECTRIC CURRENT AND ITS MAGNETIC EFFECTS
THE THEORIES:
 In 1820,
Danish
physicist
Hans
Christian
Oersted discovered
that a compass was affected when current flowed
through a wire placed close to it.
 Fascinated by Oersted’s discovery,
later the same year, Andre Marie
Ampere decided he would try to
understand why electric current pro-
duced a magnetic effect. He discov-
ered that a coiled wire acted like a bar
magnet when current was passed through
it. He also found he could turn an iron rod into a
temporary magnet when he coiled an electric wire
around the rod.
 In 1831,
Michael
Faraday
proved that
magnetism
and electricity are related. He showed that
when a bar magnet was placed within a coil,
the magnet produced an electric current.
KEY FACT:
An electromagnet is not a perma-
nent magnet. The soft iron core
ensures the loss of magnetism
once electric current stops.
THE PRACTICALS:
