What suitable material would you use for the core of an electromagnet?
Iron - use a bunch of iron nails, wrapped many times with insulated copper wire, if making your own electromagnet.
What material should you use for an electromagnet?
Soft iron core
What factors of an electromagnet affect the strength of the magnetic field?
One of them is how many coils go around the electromagnet. also the amout of current flow< and the type of core material.
What is a solenoid with a ferromagnetic core called?
Its called an electromagnet
What are the 4 ways to make an electromagnet stronger?
Use: More turns of wire A higher current A larger core area A core material with high permeability (soft iron instead of air for example)

Does making the core of an electromagnet larger make it weaker?
No, the electromagnet is not made weaker by making the core larger. It can be made weaker by decreasing its current and/or turns of coil.
What material should you use for an electromagnet?
Soft iron core
Can an electromagnet have an aluminum core?
The magnetic field will be not be as strong. It will be weaker.
What do the parts of an electromagnet do?
An electromagnet requires only two parts, a core of ferro-magnetic material and wires winding around it. The wires magnetize the core when current flows through them, and the core then creates the magnetic field which the electromagnet is intended to produce.
What object is not needed for making a electromagnet?
Every thing except a conducting wire, battery and a soft iron core is not needed for making an electromagnet
You can increase the strength of an electromagnet field by?
using a stronger ferromagnetic material for the core. :)
What is elelctromagnets?
Electromagnet is a device consisting of a core of magnetic material such as iron, surrounded by a coil through which an electric current is passed to magnetize the core.
How strong is a electromagnet?
Well, it depends on the core you use, the thickness of the wire, how much the wire is coiled around the core, and especially the power supply.
How does the strength of an electromagnet with an iron core compare to an electromagnet that simply has air at its core?
Permeability of the medium, that too, if it is ferro-magnetic material then it gets increased to a larger extent and so the magnetic induction too increases enormously.

Can you use an aluminum core for the magnet?
I cannot remember for sure, but in an electromagnet, an aluminum core would not have any permeability to add to the electromagnet's strength. An electromagnet is more efficient when a thicker core is used; it generates more power. The material you use should be prone to magnetism, as in attracted by permanent magnetic apparatuses or the such. So, an aluminum bar/core (cannot be magnetized), like you stated, wouldn't be the best choice for your magnet's core.
