Noel NOUN eH TAGS g What magnetic materials can we find around us every day? Electromagnetism is the relationship between electricity and magnetism. Magnetism is created when electricity flows through magnetic metals. Peru All magnetic materials are metallic. These include iron, nickel, cobalt, steel and magnetite. Some metals are non- magnetic, including gold, silver, aluminium, copper and titanium. Non-metallic materials, such as wood, cannot be magnetic. Many everyday objects have some parts that are magnetic and other parts that are not. We can use a magnet to test SE these objects and their various parts. magnetic material Electromagnets power source conductor ZL Electromagnets are objects that act like magnets when an electrical current passes through them. They are not permanent magnets because they are activated by electricity. When we switch off the electrical current, the object loses its magnetism. magnetic metal We can create an electromagnet by coiling wire around a closed circuit piece of magnetic metal, such as an iron bolt, and connecting it to a battery. The more coils of wire we use, the stronger the magnetic force will be. We can also use a more powerful source of energy to make the magnet stronger. When we close the circuit, the object becomes an electromagnet. If we break the connection and open the circuit again, the object loses its magnetic force. open circuit 68 Describe how to make an electromagnet. What materials do you need?
