Yes, a galvanized nail is still made mostly of iron or steel. The galvanization is merely a coating of zinc.

What is a nail wrapped around a wire and connected to a battery called?
it is called an electromagnet
When you make a homemade electromagnet with wire and a nail and a battery does stripping the wire that is coiled around the nail make the electromagnet stronger?
No, this will stop the magnet from functioning and is the same as using a short thick wire instead of a long coiled wire.
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.
Why is iron nail used to make an electromagnet?
because exhibits maximum flux density requires small magnetising field exhibits low hysteresis loop
When you take a nail and a paperclip and they stick together on a magnet then take the magnet away the nail and paperclip still stick together what is that called?
However, if you bring a magnet near a piece of iron, such as a nail,and the paperclip. If the paperclip does not fall then the magnetic field has the iron nail. The result is a temporary magnet called an 'electromagnet'. The magnets either stick together or are suspended in midair
Should the nail be straight in the electromagnet?
yes
What is a stronger electromagnet - a nail or a bolt?
Bolt
Which is a stronger electromagnet- a nail or a bolt?
Bolt
What is the nail in an electromagnet?
The nail in an electromagnet is the core of the electromagnet. It is there to provide the magnetic lines of force a "highway" to get from one end of the coil to the other end through the middle of the coil. The magnetic lines of force "like" the nail because it is a ferromagnetic material. They can travel through it very easily - and they do! The nail also provides the "working end" of the electromagnet. The magnetic field lines emerge from the nail, and then act on what is there. If you are, say, doing a separation experiment removing steel tacks that are mixed in with small brass nails (brads), the tacks will stick to the end of the nail at the "working surface" or the pole of the electromagnet.
What is used to produce an electromagnet?
A Battery, wire, nail/metal cylinder.
How do you make a electromagnet stronger?
For a simple copper wire around iron nail electromagnet, increasing the number of rounds the copper wire makes around the nail will increase the electromagnet's strength. Also, increasing the voltage applied(adding a battery) will increase the magnetic field.
What is a nail wrapped around a wire and connected to a battery called?
it is called an electromagnet
A wire that carries electricity and is coiled around a nail makes a simple?
electromagnet
What will happen if a wire is wrapped around a nail a lot of times?
If the nail is iron and you pass an electric current through the wire then you have an electromagnet.
When you make a homemade electromagnet with wire and a nail and a battery does stripping the wire that is coiled around the nail make the electromagnet stronger?
No, this will stop the magnet from functioning and is the same as using a short thick wire instead of a long coiled wire.
A Study was done with an electromagnet system made from a battery and wire wrapped around a nail. Different sizes of nails were used the number of paper clips that the electromagnet could pick up?
i am pretty sure the size of nail doesn't matter.
What does an enameled wire that's wrapped around an iron nail connected to an electrical circuit create?
An electromagnet.
