Science Using Electricity and Magnetism Grade: 10 (6) Lesson: 3.1 What is Electromagnetism? (P. 80) An electric current produces a magnetic field. The relationship between electricity and magnetism is called electromagnetism. Solenoids The magnetic field produced by a current has three distinct characteristics. a. The field can be turned on or off. b. Its direction can be reversed. c. Its strength can be changed. A coil of wire with a current is called a solenoid. The two ends of a solenoid act like magnetic poles. What is an electromagnet? A solenoid with a ferromagnetic core is called an electromagnet. An electromagnet is a strong magnet that can be turned on and off. How can you increase the strength of an electromagnet? 1. 2. 3. 4. Increase the current in the solenoid. Add more loops of wire to the solenoid. Wind the coils of the solenoid closer together. Use a stronger ferromagnetic material for the core. Using electromagnets Electromagnets are used to lift heavy objects. At the junkyard, old cars and other heavy metal objects can be moved by a strong electromagnet on a crane. Also doorbells use electromagnets. Vocabulary: Electromagnetism solenoid electromagnet
