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.
How can an electric current cause an iron nail to become a temporary magnet?
By making the magnetic field around it a negative charge
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.
Is a iron nail an electric insulator?
no,I dont think so
Why electromagnets work?
When you wrap the wire around the nail, make certain that you wrap the wire all in one direction. You need to do this because the direction of a magnet field depends on the direction of the electric current creating it. The movement of electric charges creates a magnetic field. If you could see the magnetic field around a wire that has electricity flowing through it, it would look like a series of circles around the wire. If an electric current is flowing directly towards you, the magnetic field created by it circles around the wire in a counter-clockwise direction. If the direction of the electric current is reversed, the magnetic field reverses also and circles the wire in a clockwise direction. If you wrap some of the wire around the nail in one direction and some of the wire in the other direction, the magnetic fields from the different sections fight each other and cancel out, reducing the strength of your magnet.How_does_a_electromagnet_work

What is a nail wrapped around a wire and connected to a battery called?
it is called an electromagnet

What happens when a nail wrapped around with magnesium is placed in salt water?
It gets wet.
What does an enameled wire that's wrapped around an iron nail connected to an electrical circuit create?
An electromagnet.
What is a nail called when wrapped around a fence post?
If the bent nail is used to fix a plain wire or strand of barbed wire to a fence post, and the bent nail is pointed on both ends, then it is a staple.
What is electric magnet?
An electromagnet is a device that produces a magnetic field with the use of DC electricity. A simple electromagnet has a coil of wire wrapped around an iron core. A simple experiment would be to wrap a copper wire around an iron nail then connect both ends of the wire to a small battery. You will notice the nail is magnetized as long as the battery is connected.
How do you care for nail bed after losing nail?
To care for the nail bed after losing a nail, you should use medication or a bacterial fighting solution to cleanse the exposed area. Next, a bandaged should be wrapped around the nail bed to stem the bleeding and it should be regularly changed until it heals.
What would happen if you took wires and made a long strand then wrapped them around a metal nail then finally connect them to a battery?
You would succeed in making a simple electro-magnet that uses the copper wire as a conducter for the elctricity that comes from the battery,the nail on coming in contact with the wire which is wrapped around it harnesses the elecric power being provided by the battery via the copper wire and an magnetic field around the nail is created, hence the name electro-magnet!
Will a nail rust if you wrapped it in wet cotton?
Yes of course!
What causes soreness and redness around a toenail?
An ingrown nail will cause that problem.
What increase the strength of a copper electromagnetic?
One way to increase the strength of a copper electromagnet is by adding another coil. Another way is by wrapping the copper coil around a nail made of iron.Adding more loops to the wireWrapping the copper wire around an iron nailIncreasing the current
