Question

What are the four Ways to Make an Electromagnet Stronger?

Solution

Electromagnets:

  1. An electromagnet is a type of magnet that generates a magnetic field by using an electric current.
  2. Electromagnets are typically made of wire twisted into a coil.
  3. A current flowing through the wire produces a magnetic field that is focused in the hole, indicating the coilcentertre.
  4. When the current is switched off, the magnetic field vanishes.
  5. The wire turns are frequently coiled around a magnetic core consisting of a ferromagnetic or ferrimagnetic material, such as iron; the magnetic core concentrates the magnetic flux, resulting in a stronger magnet.

Techniques to strengthen an electromagnet are:

  1. Increase the number of coil turns.
  2. Increase the current flowing through the coil.
  3. Wrap the coil tightly around the iron piece.
  4. Increase the current or voltage.
