A cell or other (DC) power source must, indeed, be connected to an electromagnet to make it work. It is an electromagnet. Surf the link to our friends at Wikipedia. It's a good article, and the pics are cool.

How do you make a remote to electromagnet?

To make a remote-controlled electromagnet, you would need a remote control system, an electromagnet, and a power source. You can connect the power source to the electromagnet through a relay controlled by the remote system, allowing you to turn the electromagnet on and off wirelessly. This setup would enable you to control the magnetic force remotely.

What must you have for an electromagnet to work that you don't need for a regular magnet?

To make an electromagnet work, you need an electric current flowing through a coil of wire, which is not needed for a regular magnet.


What do you need to make and electromagnet?

To make an electromagnet, you will need a core material (such as iron or steel), insulated copper wire, a power source (such as a battery or power supply), and a way to connect the wire to the power source (such as a switch). Simply wrap the wire around the core material, connect the ends of the wire to the power source, and when current flows through the wire, it will create a magnetic field in the core, turning it into an electromagnet.


What does a electromagnet have that a bar magnet does not have?

The bar magnet and the electromagnet act identical. The difference being a electromagnet is a coil of wire that has a power source connect to both ends, this energizes the coil with an electromagnetic field.


Does a barometer have a electromagnet in it?

No, a barometer typically does not have an electromagnet in it. Barometers measure atmospheric pressure using a sealed container of mercury or an aneroid cell that expands or contracts based on air pressure.


What is it called when you wrap a wire around an iron bar and connect it to a battery?

It is called an Electromagnet, when disconnected, it loses it's magnetism.


How can a simple electromagnet be made?

first, you have to have a ferromagnetic core, like an iron bolt. then, you wind a magnetic wire around it. the thicker the winding, the stronger the magnet. the tips of the wire should be protruding so you can connect it to a source. skin the tips of the wire, too. connect the wire to a dc source and you got an electromagnet.


What three thing are needed to make electromagnet?

What types of media would you recommend using to connect the buildings and why?

Fiber optic is used to connect buildings because it is immune to electromagnet interference and data can travel up to 2,000 yards.
