EXPERIMENT NO:9 MAKING AN ELECTROMAGNET

AIM: To make an electromagnet

MATERIALS REQUIRED: - Insulated copper wire, Core material (e.g. iron nail, bolt), Battery or
power source, Switch or circuit breaker , Small metal objects (e.g. paper clips, pins)

Procedure:

1. Wrap a length of insulated copper wire around a core material (e.g. iron nail, bolt).

2. Leave a few inches of wire loose at each end.

3. Connect one end of the wire to a battery or power source.

4. Connect the other end of the wire to a switch or circuit breaker.

5. Close the switch to turn on the electromagnet.

6. Test the electromagnet by bringing it near small metal objects (e.g. paper clips, pins).

Observation:

When the switch is closed, the wire coil around the core material becomes magnetized.

The electromagnet attracts small metal objects.

The strength of the electromagnet can be increased by:

Increasing the number of turns of wire around the core.

Increasing the current flowing through the wire.

Using a stronger core material.

Conclusion:

An electromagnet is a type of magnet that is produced by an electric current.

The strength of an electromagnet can be controlled by adjusting the current flowing through the wire.

Electromagnets have many practical applications, including in motors, generators, and magnetic
resonance imaging (MRI) machines.
