Producing Magnetism From
Electric Currents
• In a solenoid, the magnetic field of each loop
of wire adds to the strength of the magnetic
field of the loop next to it.
• A solenoid has a north (incoming current) and
south (outgoing current) pole.
• The strength of the magnetic field of a
solenoid depends on the number of loops of
wire and the amount of current in the wire.
• An electromagnet is a strong magnet created
when an iron core is inserted into the center of
a current-carrying solenoid.
