Electric Currents and Magnetic Fields The magnetic field created by a current flowing through a wire surrounds the wire in concentric circles. The magnetic field is stronger if more current is flowing through the wire. The direction of the magnetic field depends on the direction that the current is flowing through the wire. A simple rule, called the right hand rule, makes it easy to find the direction of the magnetic field if the direction of the current is known.

Lesson 25.2: Critical Reading Name___________________ Class______________ Date__________ Read this passage from the text and answer the questions that follow. Electromagnets An electromagnet consists of a solenoid (soil of wire) wrapped around a bar of iron or other ferromagnetic material. When current flows through the solenoid, it gives it a magnetic field like a bar magnet. The magnetic field of the solenoid magnetizes the ferromagnetic bar by aligning its magnetic domains. The combined magnetic force of the magnetized iron bar and the wire coil makes an electromagnet very strong. In fact, electromagnets are the strongest magnets made. Some of them are strong enough to lift a train. A maglev train contains permanent magnets that are repelled by strong electromagnets in the track. The force of repulsion causes the train to levitate above the track. An electromagnet is stronger if there are more turns in the coil of wire or more current is flowing through it. A bigger bar or one made of a material that is easier to magnetize also increases an electromagnet’s strength. Questions 1. What is an electromagnet? 2. Why does an electromagnet have a stronger magnetic field than the solenoid it contains? 3. Identify four factors that affect the strength of an electromagnet. 5 1.2.

Lesson 25.3: Critical Reading Name___________________ Class______________ Date__________ Read this passage from the text and answer the questions that follow. Electrifying the Home Power plant generators produce high-voltage electric current. Many power plants also use step-up transformers to increase the voltage of the current even more. By increasing the voltage, the amount of current traveling through power lines is decreased. This results in less loss of electrical energy as the current travels from power plants to homes. However, the voltage in power lines is too high to be safe for home circuits. The voltage in power lines may be as great as 750,000 volts, whereas the voltage of most home circuits is 240 volts or less. One or more step-down transformers decrease the voltage of current before it enters a house. Other step-down transformers within the house lower the voltage of some of the home’s circuits. Questions 1. Why is a step-up transformer used as electric current leaves a power plant? 2. Why is a step-down transformer needed before electric current enters a home? 8 www.ck12.org Chapter 1.
