What is an advantage of using an electromagnet over a permanent magnet?
The advantage of an elecromagnet is that you can turn it on and off with a simple switch. So for example if you want to pick up a scrap car with a crane/electromagnet and move it, you can turn the electromagnet off when you want to release the car. You could not do the with a permanent magnet obviously.
How do make an electromagnet stop working?
An electromagnet is powered by electrical current and that current can be adjusted to different levels of magnetism,Êso if you disable its electrical connection it will not work.
Can an electromagnet work underwater?
Yes it can because water will not interfere with the magnet as it is working
How does electromagnet work in separation?
How does electromagnet work in separation? It is when calcinations is moved into a moving belt and passes under two pairs of electromagnets. The first pair of eleronmagnets is to draw off any iron ore the second pair attracts the wolframite.
What does an electromagnet operator do to release metal attached to the electromagnet?
burat
What does the switch do to the electro magnet?
The switch is turned on to activate the electromagnet, and metal is attracted. Turning off the switch stops the electromagnet from working, and metal is no longer attracted.
Does an electromagnet work without a switch?
Yes it does but dont leave it on for too long since it uses a lot of electricity.
How does a scrap heap crane work?
A scrapheap crane works simply by a piece of soft iron surrounded in coper coiled coil and a electromagnet. when the switch is activated a current is sent from the battery to the electromagnet!
What is a reversing switch that rotates with an electromagnet?
Commutator
How does a car horn work?
FromWhile some modern car horns are actually specialized computer audio systems, the old-fashioned electromagnetic car horns are still common. An electromagnetic horn uses an electromagnet to attract a steel diaphragm and turns that electromagnet on and off rhythmically so that the diaphragm vibrates. In fact, it uses the diaphragm's position to control the power to the electromagnet. Whenever the diaphragm is in its resting position or even farther from the electromagnet, a switch closes to deliver electric current to the electromagnet. The electromagnet then attracts the diaphragm's center. But when the diaphragm moves closer to the electromagnet, as the result of this attraction, the switch opens and current stops flowing to the electromagnet. Because of this arrangement, the diaphragm moves in and out and turns the electromagnet off and on as it does. The diaphragm's tone is determined by the natural resonances of its surface.
How can you turn off an electromagnet?
An electromagnet requires electric power to be a magnet. You turn it off the same way you turn off a light, by turning the switch.
How do you switch poles in electromagnetic field?
You get a battery, switch, nail and copper wire. You connect one end of the battery to the switch and the other end to the nail that is wrapped with some copper wire. The end of the switch that isn't connected you connect to the electromagnet.
How do electromagnet fire alarms work?
the electromagnet makes the door close when a fire alarm goes off
Do you have to connect a cell to work an electromagnet?
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 turn off an electromagnet?
This is what makes a magnet an electromagnet - the ability to turn it on and off... Anyway, electromagnets can be turned off with either the help of a switch, or just by disconnecting the power supply.
What Consists of an electromagnet that's used to open and close contacts to switch current?
That'd be a relay.
What does a battery contribute to an electromagnet to help it work?
A core
