Electricity and magnetism are the two facets of the electromagnetism force.

It means that where ever there is electricity flowing in a conductor there is

also a magnetic field produced. The intensity of the electric current flowing in

a wire determine the intensity of the magnetic field that arise near the wire.

So here's one easy way to make an electromagnet. You take a big iron nail

(the iron here act like a concentrator of the magnetic field). Then you make

as many turn you can with some insulated copper wire around the nail (you

can find very nice wire in the windings of an old transformer). You plug both

ends of the wire to a D size battery after removing the insulation at the ends

of the wire. When connected, try your new electromagnet on small iron nails.

An electromagnet is a type of magnet in which the magnetic field is produced by the flow of electric current. The magnetic field disappears when the current is turned off. Electromagnets are widely used as components of other electrical devices, such as motors, generators, relays, loudspeakers, hard disks, MRI machines, scientific instruments, and magnetic separation equipment, as well as being employed as industrial lifting electromagnets for picking up and moving heavy iron objects like scrap iron.

What are the uses of solenoid?

Solenoids are coils of wire that create a magnetic field when an electric current passes through it. These are used in the alternator of a car to create electricity. Solenoids are also used in generators to create electricity in power stations and in transformers to change the voltage of an AC current.

What do magnets have to with electricity?

Faraday showed that a wire passing through a magnetic field will produce electricity. This is how a generator works. Many windings of wire on an armature spin in a magnetic field. This makes electricity.

Does a Beakman's Motor create electricity?

no, not by itself. Although, it does use electricity which is used to send a current through the copper ring creating a magnetic field.


Why does an electro magnet work?

Magnetizm and electricity are closly related. An electric current can produce its own magnetic field. Electricity can also be used to create a magnet. such magnets are called electromagnets. The electricity flowing through the tight coils of wire creates a strong magnetic fields from one end to the other. By running the electric current through a wire you can create a magnetic field. The force lines up all the magnetic particles in the nail and turns it into a magnet. The more coils of wire there are , the stronger the magnetic force.
